So, I already told you about the run I did last weekend. But I was actually quite busy all weekend.
Saturday was my quiet day. What did I do? Other than going over to my former roommate Daniel's new place, I stayed home and took care of stuff around there. I cut my hair and did a few other things like that. Nothing too exciting, but it was good.
Sunday is when things got exciting. It started with an e-mail from my friend Josh asking about coming over and swimming that afternoon. Things changed, and he and his wife didn't make it over. But I did spend the afternoon swimming with some other friends at a different pool. With the heat we've had this weekend, it felt great. Sunday night was the usual hanging out with Josh and Joe, then I spent the night at Josh's.
And then Monday after the race I wound up spending a little time at the parade in my town. I've never been before. I stayed for maybe a third of it. I was aiming to head home, but I made it as far as Josh's for a couple of hours. We talked while I rested for the long drive across town to grab lunch and then nap. Oh did that nap feel good.
That evening, I went to Kurt and Kellie's. I have seen them or that gang of friends in forever. It was absolutely wonderful catching up with all of them over good BBQ, some disc golf, and a dip in the pool. Because of the kids, everyone had scattered by the time the fireworks started, but I found a spot to enjoy them before heading home and crashing hard.
As you can see, it was in no way restful. But oh was it wonderful!

Independence Day 10K
Back in May when I ran my first 10K non-mud run race, I set my sights on doing another 10K this weekend. I was so close, I wanted to finish in under an hour.
Of course, like everything else I do, I then spent the next amount of time debating about whether I should actually sign up or not. After all, it started at 7AM. And with all the ultimate Frisbee I have been playing, I haven't really been training for it. But I decided this last week to go ahead and sign up.
Since the race started and ended about two blocks from where I normally hang out with friends on Sunday night, I spent the night there. That way I could sleep later and walk over to the start as part of my warm up.
I bought new running shoes the day before. I didn't use them, but I think it's about time. At various times, my legs were killing me. I even battle shin splints for a little while, which is usually a sign it's time to buy new shoes.
I think I need to get a watch for racing. I had no idea who I was doing until the end. That makes it hard to adjust pace as needed. But I started running and tried to keep my pace. I did increase a little in the second half, but not very much. I was passed by plenty of people, but I passed a few as well. Many of the people I passed were ahead of me for a while, so it's not like I was super slow.
But ultimate, racing comes down to you and the clock. And I think that may be one reason I and starting to enjoy running. It can be just about you and your goals.
In this case, I didn't make my goal. I finished in 1:02:47.
Part of me is disappointed. But part of me knows that if I had trained harder, I might have finished better.
However, talking to others after the race, no one finished in their goal time or their normal time. Everyone was running slow because of the heat. Yes, even at 7AM it was hot. (Hey, it's the 4th of July. I would be disappointed with anything less.) So maybe a sub 1 hour 10K is still doable for me.
I'm going to start looking for one to sign up for (in the midst of all my other races). And I will get that time yet. But I'm going to take the next one more seriously and train harder for it, too.
Meanwhile, it was fun to see some friends from church out there at this race, including one who came to cheer me on. Others were running it. And I saw someone I graduated from college with but haven't seen for years who was in town. That part of the morning was a very pleasant surprise.

Weekly TV Recap for July 2nd
Yes, this is summer. I am just too much of a TV addict.
In Plain Sight - I was actually very happy with that episode. I was expecting our happy ending to be the wife getting her divorce. The fact that she went back and gave her husband another chance surprised me. Hopefully, he does change. Meanwhile, I wanted more from Mary finally telling Brandi she was pregnant. Hopefully that come next week.
White Collar - I was a bit worried about another flashback episode, but this one focused pretty much the entire time on the present, and I loved getting a look at Mozzie's past. The whole thing with "The Dentist" was a riot. "You're a living conspiracy theory?" Fun all the way around. I'm not quite sure what Mozzie was doing at the end, but what it was, it worked.
Wipeout (Tuesday) - That was a Spring episode if I don't miss my guess based on the obstacles they had. The scarecell was back and the Wipeout Zone looked way too familiar. I has actually hoping it would be either the preppy or the philosopher, so I was happy with the outcome this week. I found it interesting that they dumped water on everyone every time they went up the stairs.
Covert Affairs - Aggie going to work upstairs? This is an interesting development. And I wonder if Annie will ever find out he did it to save her? The reporter really should have started trusting Annie sooner, but then we wouldn't have had the last plot complication or two. Overall, another enjoyable episode.
Royal Pains - I was smiling the entire time I was watching. Okay, maybe not the entire time, but most of it. I knew what was going to happen with Divya. Her crashing with the brothers will be interesting this season. I love Evan with Paige. Sounds like that relationship will be rocky, and not on his end, this season. So many plot lines resolved or at least moved forward. I'm just wondering what will happen to change Jill's mind since she's a main character.
Necessary Roughness - I'm not sold on this one yet, mainly because I don't really like the best friend character that much. Well, and I hate it when a main character gets out of a relationship and immediately starts sleeping around. I know, I know it was six weeks. But still. I'm willing to give it another couple of weeks, however. I can see some potential for it to grow on me. And I am reminded that I often don't like shows right out of the gate.
Melissa & Joey - The plot on this one was fairly predictable, but yet I still found it fairly funny. Didn't see the ending of the sub-plot with the kids coming, however. The ex-wife was annoying as can be, however. I hope they aren't thinking of making her a recurring character. The assistant is the only annoying character I can stand. Even with all that, it was nice to see these characters again. Yep, I'll keep watching.
Burn Notice - I always love it when they are able to get Michael's mom into the mix, and they did that this week in a big way. Watching Michael abuse her was so hard, especially with seeing how close they have become. It wasn't quite as fun as some of their other episodes, but it was very good television, and I enjoyed it.
Suits - Okay, I'm officially hooked. That was fun and slick. The characters have a lot of learn, but as long as we show up Lewis every week, I'll be happy. I especially loved the come uppance the judge got at the end. That was the least of what he deserved. And the inventor got a nice settlement as well. All told, the outcome was great.
Wipeout (Thursday) - Another left over from spring, I'm sure. I actually have a friend named Sarah Cooper, so it was fun seeing her win. Let's get back to the summer obstacles now because I liked them much better.
Expedition Impossible - You know, I think I'm doing with the show at least for now. Yes, I'm keeping all the teams straight, but I find the time between the first team doing something and the last team finishing it too boring. I think if it were half an hour I might still be able to enjoy it. Maybe I'll just fast forward through it next week to see what they do and who leaves.

Summer League Game 4
Unfortunately, last night was pretty much a reverse of last week's game. We finished it 8-17, so we did score twice as many points as the team we beat, however.
Honestly, I was expecting that going into the game. We'd gotten quite a few e-mails from people saying they weren't going to be there. As it turned out, we were missing several key people. Then when I got there, I saw who we were playing. Their captain was my captain last year. I know how good he and his friend (who was on the team again) are. The rest of the team was strong as well.
We had 8 people show up. They had 9 or 10.
Plus the points were short. We were done in about an hour and a half instead of the normal two hours or so.
And despite the lack of people, I didn't feel like I got to play enough. The game was over, and I wanted to keep going.
On the plus side, I did get the disc a few times and pass it on successfully. We had a new guy there who really throws it fast, and I dropped a few from him. I'm going to have to get used to his throws so I can catch them. And I did a decent job on D, although I was scored on a few times. Honestly, we were on scored on. I felt like I contributed and wasn't the weak link, so that's a good thing in my opinion.

If I Had Something Exciting to Say
I feel like I need to update my blog. The problem is I really have nothing too exciting to blog about.
The big news last week is my ultimate Frisbee game, which I already talked about.
Saturday, I did go see Cars 2, which I really enjoyed.
Sunday was a bit disappointing since I drove across town to play ultimate only to find out later they didn't play until 5PM.
Today, I finally signed up for the 10K on Monday morning. I've been hesitating only because it starts at 7AM. But I know if I don't do it, I will be very upset that day. Now, to see if I can break the 1 hour mark. Haven't really been training for it, so this will be very close, I have a feeling. I have done a few 6 mile runs, so it won't be a foreign distance, but most of my running has been playing ultimate Frisbee. I think that's going to wind up being my downfall more than anything else.
The auditors are at work this week for the preliminary stuff. Having them around is always interesting, although I've been here long enough that I can answer most questions no problem.
And I think that's about it for this exicitng episode in the life of Mark.

Weekly TV Recap for June 25th
Is this summer or the regular TV season? I remember when I used to have time to catch up on my reading and TV on DVD viewing during the summer, but I guess those days are behind me. And I've got three new shows to add to the mix next week. I know, I could always cut back. I just don't want to. :)
In Plain Sight - You know, it doesn't matter how predictable the stories are, they always managed to move me. I knew this week's witness would reconcile with his family in the end and his son would give his liver, but it was still emotionally satisfying. Mary's pregnancy is certainly making things interesting. I wasn't sure if I would like it or not, but I think I do. I wonder if she really will wind up giving it up for adoption or keeping it when the child is born.
White Collar - Well, we finally met Diana's girlfriend. They've mentioned her enough, it was about time, although frankly the fact that she is a lesbian is my least favorite part of the show, for obvious reasons. Still, it was a fun episode with the usual twists, although their definition of white collar crime seems to be stretching all the time. I find the story of Neal and Moz trying to escape with the loot always interesting. Part of me hopes they get away and part of me hopes they get caught because they stole it. Obviously, they won't go anywhere with it permanently, so I'm curious how it will all play out.
Wipeout Tuesday - They've got some fun obstacles for the summer, so this looks promising. I love the swing set, for example. The drop into the Wipeout Zone scares me, and I'm on my couch. Overall those obstacles look almost impossible. It will be interesting to see how many even finish it.
101 Way to Leave a Game Show - This was interesting to watch as a one time deal because I was curious about it. They manage to cram 30 minutes of interesting show into an hour. Once and done was my only interest in this show. Too much else I want to be doing this summer to make it a regular part of my week.
Covert Affairs - I've got to admit, this one snuck up on me. I enjoyed it more than I have either of the others this season. And I really did think the instructor was the bad guy, too. All around entertaining, and that scene in the airplane made for an awesome climax.
Burn Notice - So, I was wondering where they would go with the story this season. And I'm still wondering. Again, it felt like they were really trying to close some things off. True, Michael doesn't know why he was burned yet, but it's looking like he'll be back in the CIA very soon and out of Miami. What obstacles will they be throwing in his way? Come on, tell us already! On another note, you can really see how his relationship with his mom has changed, especially in that last scene of them together. I love that.
Wipeout Thursday - After the showing on Tuesday, I can't believe how quickly two of the people did the Wipeout Zone tonight. The girl could have won on just about any other night. I was hoping the Star Wars geek would go further because those jokes were my favorite. All in all, a fun episode.
Suits - I definitely could have done without the strong language, and it took me a while to warm up to the characters. But I'm beginning to like them and I think I could get hooked on the series. I'll definitely tune in next week and see what I think. If I don't like it, it will probably get cut.
Expedition: Impossible - Okay, so it's basically an extreme version of The Amazing Race mixed in with a little bit of Survivor. That means I'll probably wind up hooked on it as well. It isn't nearly as compelling as those two shows, at least not yet. But I already feel like I know something about all the teams, which I don't feel like with the other shows. Again, it might get cut, but for now it looks interesting.

Spring Reading 2011 Wrap Up
According to most calendars, Spring ended yesterday. (Although I do have one that says today is the first day of summer.) So I need to post the results from Spring Reading 2011. All the links will take you to my review at Epinions.
Books from My Original List Read:
The KenKen Killings by Parnell Hall
The Resurrection by Mike Duran
The Brothers of Baker Street by Michael Robertson
Heads You Lose by Lisa Lutz and David Hayward
Burn Notice: The Reformed by Tod Goldberg
Berried to the Hilt by Karen MacInerney
Twice as Dead by Sue Ann Jaffarian
To the Maner Dead by Sebastian Stuart
The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
10th Anniversary by James Patterson
Meaning at the Movies by Grant Horner
psych: Mind-Altering Murder by William Rabkin (Okay, finished this one today, but I'm counting it.)
Books Not on My List Read:
Dear Mr. Holmes: Seven Holmes on the Range Stories by Steve Hockensmith
The Sherlockian by Graham Moore
Half Upon a Time by James Riley
"The Rabbit Died" by Sue Ann Jaffarian
Okay, that's 15 books and one short story. But only 12 of those books were on the list I started with. Here are the books I didn't get to.
Unread Books from Fall 2010 List:
Secrets of Harmony Grove by Mindy Starns Clark
Dog On It by Spencer Quinn
Unread Books from Spring 2011 List:
Formula for Murder by Diana Orgain
Mr. Monk on the Couch by Lee Goldberg
Killer Routine by Alan Orloff
The Albuquerque Turkey by John Vorhaus
So there you have it. I actually did get further with my list then I thought I would, especially when I started reading books not on the list. However, if I want to finish my list again during one of these, I'll have to make a shorter list.
