Week 2, Run 2

Run/walk: 30 minutes

Today's run was a little difficult, due to the 20-oz Coke I drank yesterday while putting together a bookcase for my mom at her house. I was hoping I'd work the caffeine off, but it was not to be -- I didn't sleep well last night, and woke up feeling a bit ragged. But I did my run anyway, and it went fine.

Last night, out of curiosity, I clicked on my old training journal for my previous marathons at codyne.pitas.com. I hadn't updated it since December 2002, and was sure it would have been deleted by now, but lo and behold! it was still there. Of course, in the meantime, I'd taken down the pictures so all the image links were broken, and it had my old email address on it, and the quick-and-dirty Honolulu 2002 page I'd thrown up on geocities was gone so that link didn't work....

I started out trying to update the pitas.com site. I pulled the images off an old backup and uploaded them to Photobucket, and edited all the 2002 entries to link to them, but I'd archived the 2001 marathon entries and there seems to be no way to edit archive entries. So, I ended up downloading the pages, resizing all the graphics, reconstructing the old geocities site in the pitas.com format and re-editing it, and uploading the whole thing to my ratandfox.net domain. I've linked it in the sidebar here, so now I've got the journals of all my previous marathons conveniently located.

I'm still tempted to re-do the layout in CSS (the old one's in tables, and it's a monstrosity) and fiddle with the organization a little it, but for a rinky-dink little site no one will ever look at anyway, it's not really worth the effort. What I really should do is go over to the pitas.com site and make one more entry linking to this journal, so in case anyone stumbles over that one they can find the updated info. Or, you know, just delete that one, if I can figure out how...

Anyway, it was fun reading over all my old journals and remembering marathons past -- it's really getting me enthused for getting out there and doing another one.
