My bag exchange bag arrived yesterday!
Here's the one I made and sent.
Some pictures of Buster and Peaches, I'll be pet sitting them next week while Mom and Dad are in New York.
The infinity scarf continues… I'm thinking another 2 inches and I'll be done.
Bag swap bag, I chose to do this bag.
I'm not going to deny that this new knitting book is a tad ridiculous, but the projects are actually really cute!
If anyone reads this, it's on my Christmas list… If I don't buy it before.
I spent most of my weekend sewing my Halloween costume. This year I've decided to go as Snow White and like a masochist I decided I'd sew my costume too. I made a trip last weekend to Jo-Anns for a pattern and supplies, despite being overwhelmingly crowded and picked over I was able to find everything.
I settled on this pattern, knowing I could modify it into my vision.
Gorgeous Grey Gardens inspired fashion spread for Vogue Spain. Via Honestly…WTF
I think I could recreate this myself with a little help from the salvation army and some spray paint. Framed Objects from the.
I went fabric and pattern shopping for my Halloween costume Sunday; this year I've decided to go as Snow White. I bought a gold brocade for the skirt, a blue corduroy for the bodice, a creamy white for the sleeves, and ribbons to accent it all. I also bought some red felt to make an apple purse/clutch a la last year's watermelon purse.
Saturday morning I moved our dry baking goods into thrifted glass jars.
Does anyone know where to buy the rubber rings for the clip top jars?
On my next trip to the salvation army I'll be looking for glass objects to recreate these.
Go here for the tutorial.
Grosgrain is hosting a giveaway for some beautiful handmade masks. Pop over to her blog to check it out!
An "infinity" scarf I'm working on. 241 Stitches makes for slow knitting.
How to properly set a table, and identify all those utensils! Via
I'm now looking for materials (I'm thinking pretty glass bird feeders) to recreate this for a fraction of the cost.
Hanging Drop Terrarium from Terrain
My Bosses (aka, Mom and Dad) invited me and my brother to the NTMA Technical Seminar in Chicago this year. This was my first trip to Chicago and my first trip to a "Big City" not on the west coast. Here are some highlights from our trip…
Dinner at the Chop House
Visiting the top floor of Hancock Tower
Visiting Millenium Park
Seeing amazing artwork at the Art Institute
It was amazing and a bit of a whirlwind. My one regret is wasting one of our days by lounging around the hotel. I really can't wait to go back to the city and especially the Art Institute.
Thank you to my parents for a wonderful trip.
I love subway tile, I want a bathroom like this in my future. Via
I joined the sew,mama,sew "Super Style Bag Swap" and am now looking for some inspiration. My partner would like a shoulder bag and doesn't like whimsical prints (me too).
Here are some tutorials I've seen that could be cute.
From Parasol.
From u-handbag.
From Sky Turtle.
From Between the lines.
Any thoughts?
Some "treasures" I brought home from the Salvation Army Friday, my mom and I try to hit the 50% Fridays when they happen.
Anchor Hocking platter and baking dish. I found these on opposite ends of the store, I really like the pattern.
Glass container for the pantry, a pyrex pitcher, and the two glass pieces are for a future project.
For my friend Robin's birhday, I'll be planting some succulents in it too.
And some records. I listened to them Sunday morning as I made breakfast, my favorite is the Bernstein I kept thinking of Woody Allen and the begining of Manhattan.
Erica Domesek of p.s. i made this… "Craft Armoire" puts my "Craft Closet" to shame!


text: What a difference an inker makes. Both splashes features pencils by Jim Lawson, from TMNT Vol.2 issue #2 & #3 respectively, but on the left the inks are provided by Jason Temujin Minor, and on the right are by Eric Talbot. This marks a dramatic change in that volume, giving it the organic feel the TMNT really needs, and had with the first volume. However, come Vol. 4, when the TMNT returned to Mirage in 2001 and went back to black & white, Lawson's pencils were initially inked by TMNT co-creator Peter Laird (who also provided the sumptuous tones) and looked ridiculously stunning. spacechannel90 likes thisjzaag likes thisiheardyouweredead reblogged this from bighatdinobighatdino posted this

Plain facts folks, we aren't going back to straight oil based gas equipment. Alternative fuels are only going to evolve and be improved over time. Small equip/engine mfg need to get on board or risk being left in the dust on this. Which mfg's want to get innovative? Those are the ones that will survive, not the ones tipping up their nose doing the same old things they did 30 years ago. Just ask GM how that worked out for them.
I give Kohler credit for development of the EFI Flex Fuel small engine. Who's next?

Happy Friday!
So, I read an article the other day, which more or less criticized runners for being too "into themselves" and pretty much bragging about the fact that they run. You can read it HERE.
I didn't disagree with everything Mr. Stafko said…in fact, I have the tiniest feeling I may fall into his description of the attention-whore (pardon my French) runner. I mean, I have a blog about it. Oh, well. Sorry I'm not sorry! What I don't understand is why he is only targeting runners for showing off their running achievements and using social media to reach a larger audience. I mean, no doubt that there are running magazines, blogs (ahem), clothing stores, bumper stickers, conferences, etc…But, TONS of other sports and activities have the exact same things! Crossfit (pretty much got it's start on the Internet), football, baseball, yoga, swimming, biking, karate–take your pick. They all have websites, equipment stores and media specifically dedicated to them. Why call out runners for being proud of busting their asses running in crappy weather and before the crack of dawn when they're far from the only ones who do it?? One day, if I ever run an ultra-marathon or an Ironman, I will tell every single person I talk to about it–meter maids, the guy at the gas station, my dentist. I'll shout it from a mountain or a really tall hill if that's all I can get to. There's no reason you shouldn't be proud of any goal you worked hard to reach. If you don't care for running and/or respect those who do it, then stay away from it. It's just that simple…problem solved!
My roommate, Angela, and I saw Capital Cities and Fitz and the Tantrums the other night. It was AWESOME! Capital Cities' song, Safe and Sound, has gotten really popular. One of the lead singers has a pretty intense beard and for some reason I just thought it was funny since I picture him more as a lumberjack than a singer in that band specifically.
All week, my friends have gone out of their way to cook for me. I am truly grateful, but also concerned that perceptions of my cooking skills have not improved much :( Whatever, I'll never pass down good food and company. Wednesday night, Bentley made a rice and lentils dish with onions. I can't remember what it was called, but it combines Jewish and Middle Eastern flavors. Definitely out of my comfort zone, but I really liked it.
Jake showed me how to make apple dumplings and I cringed at the amounts of sugar, butter and shortening he dumped into the dough and filling.
They were so so so good, though! Definitely worth a longer run today. He even let me do some of the cooking…what a trusting guy.
I have never been more ready for the weekend in my life. A lot to look forward to in the next couple weeks. I hope you have good things planned heading into the holidays!

Natural Abscess Treatment
Testimonials of successful treatments -
A circumscribed collection of pus appearing in acute
or chronic, localized infection, and associated with
tissue destruction and, frequently, swelling. May be a
cavity formed by liquefaction necrosis within solid
tissue. Can affect any tissue of the body. Bones, tooth
root, appendix, brain, gums, lungs, abdominal wall,
gastrointestinal tract, ears, tonsils, sinuses, breasts,
kidneys, prostate gland, almost any organ or tissue. A
felon is a painful abscess, usually found on the end of
a finger, thumb, or toe, near the nail.
The abscess may be located internally or externally,
possibly due to lowered resistance to infection that
often leads to bacterial contamination or from an
injury. The infections are the most common human disease
and are produced by bacteria, viruses, parasites, and
fungi. A felon is usually caused by some type of blow or
injury that becomes infected.
Pain, redness, swelling and usually some fever.
Abscesses are commonly treated with antibiotics. We
have found however that colloidal silver is quite
effective against all of them. Below are some
testimonials of users who have had successful results.
I had an employee who came to work determined to put in
his hours despite a swollen jaw from an abscessed
tooth. I said, "okay, but put some colloidal
silver on it every few hours." He did and by noon,
the swelling was gone and he did a full days work with
no pain. Though I told him to go to the dentist to get
it taken care of, it has been 2 months and he has done
nothing for it, but he takes colloidal silver daily now.
Last year, my Abbycat had a terrible abcsess
in her mouth. (Probably related to a fungal allergy she
gets each spring.) The vet tried pred, then antibiotics
- with no results. She got to the point that her breath
was atrocious and she could only eat canned food. One
day I finally had the brilliant (DUH!) idea of giving
her some CS in her milk each day. (I don't usually give
milk to the cats, but I was desperate to get some
calories in her.) Within just 3 days, her breath was all
better and after a week, she would eat kibble cat food
again. There has been no recurrance this year, but I'm
giving her a bit of CS daily to get her past her danger
period. I have one of your CS generators now and make my
own, but at the time of Abbycat's original problem, I
had only read your web-site and used a store-bought CS.
I thank you SO much for getting this information out!
Without it, I might have lost my sweet girl.

I would like to second Dalia's suspicion that
IBS is caused by some kind of organism. I have suffered
from it for years. Pain, bloating, constipation, food
intolerances to the point where almost everything made
my colon act up and I was down to eating white bread and
getting fat. Doctors don't know how to treat this
condition. They offered me sedative drugs, and when I
refused to take them, prescribed fiber therapy, which
made the problem ten times worse. When I got a badly abscessed
tooth, I decided to try CS. Not only did it help
cure out my infection (which drained out through my
sinuses), but it also almost totally eliminated my IBS.
I am now on a diet rich in fruit and vegetables and I am
healthier than I have been in years. I take CS daily, as
a maintenance dose, and the only foods that upset my
colon now, are things
like onions, broccholi, chocolate, etc.
Testimonial 4
Dear Bill,
I have not had any sinus congestion/headaches since I
started using CS last year. Fall is usually my worst
time for sinus infections. I just put a drop into each
nostril and inhale 1-2 times a day. It seems to be
Also, my friend had a badly abscessed tooth. His
cheek was painfully swollen and hard. Since it was the
weekend and no dentists were open, I urged him to try my
CS. He took approximately 1 tsp. per 2 hours and it
cleared up before the weekend was over. No need for a
dentist now!
One more story... our two guinea pigs were quite
lethargic and had what looked like infected feet. When
guinea pigs get sick, there is usually no hope. But, I
added CS and some crushed vitamin C to their drinking
water, and they came around and are healthy as ever!
Thank you,
Debbie in PA
Testimonial 5
Dear Bill,
I gave my cat who had an abscess from a scratch
on his side, some colloidal silver. With a little
Neosporin and colloidal silver - he is healed. This is
much cheaper and much more effective than the 150
dollars I spent the last time. He healed two days
earlier this time.
Testimonial 6
Just had to let you know how quick the
colloidal silver helped me. I had a tooth that felt like
it was abscessed but nothing showed up on x-rays.
It did not get better as the dentist thought it would. I
found a bottle of the colloidal silver that I had
forgotten about. I started taking it and within 4-5 days
the sensitivity was completely gone. That had to be what
it was; I didn't take anything else, and it seemed to be
getting worse before I started taking the CS. Thank you,
I am so glad I found this website.

Testimonial 7
I wanted to share with everyone the many
miraculous results my family and I have after using
Colloidal Silver and Colloidal Gold since August of this
year. For instance, my husband had a very badly swollen
gum from an infected tooth. He used 1Tbsp three
times a day for a couple of days and the pain and
swelling was gone. He also held a little in his mouth
around the tooth, a couple times a day. He also got the
Shingles and started taking 1Tbsp three times a day. I
also dabbed each painful blister on his back with the CS
several times a day. Three days later, the Shingles were
gone! We are now taking a maintenance dose daily.
Needless to say, most of my family members are now
taking it for various maladies and have rave testimonies
as well. I have so many other testimonies about these
wonderful products, but I know I shouldn't write a book.
I feel like these products are a gift from God and will
give Him all the Praise, Honor and Glory for my running
across it on the net.
God Bless.

He's So Strange Lyrics
He's coming out tonight He'll walk outside the light You'll feel him very near Confusion nothing's clear His presence cold and stark Like a shadow in the dark You're scared but you won't run You almost wish it was over and done chorus You can't escape the thought of him Do you wonder why? He's so strange And if he brought you down to your knees He's so strange Would you cry? He could burn you with his touch Everything has changed He frightens you so much He's so strange The victim of a crime You've lost all track of time He's stolen heart and soul He's taken all control Obsession the main theme Is this some crazy dream? You're the prisoner of a love so strange Though you can't see the chains chorus
Lyrics taken from http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/go_gos/hes_so_strange.html

Imagine if Obama prohibited pictures of fallen troops. The Right Wing fake media would have harped 24/7/365.
(Source: ellendegeneres)
Rafiq ur Rehman — Please tell me, Mr President, why a US drone assassinated my mother
Momina Bibi was a 67-year-old grandmother and midwife from Waziristan. Yet President Obama tells us drones target terrorists
Oct. 25 2013
The last time I saw my mother, Momina Bibi, was the evening before Eid al-Adha. She was preparing my children's clothing and showing them how to make sewaiyaan, a traditional sweet made of milk. She always used to say: the joy of Eid is the excitement it brings to the children.
Last year, she never had that experience. The next day, 24 October 2012, she was dead, killed by a US drone that rained fire down upon her as she tended her garden.
Nobody has ever told me why my mother was targeted that day. The media reported that the attack was on a car, but there is no road alongside my mother's house. Several reported the attack was on a house. But the missiles hit a nearby field, not a house. All reported that five militants were killed. Only one person was killed – a 67-year-old grandmother of nine.
My three children – 13-year-old Zubair, nine-year-old Nabila and five-year-old Asma – were playing nearby when their grandmother was killed. All of them were injured and rushed to hospitals. Were these children the "militants" the news reports spoke of? Or perhaps, it was my brother's children? They, too, were there. They are aged three, seven, 12, 14, 15 and 17 years old. The eldest four had just returned from a day at school, not long before the missile struck.
But the United States and its citizens probably do not know this. No one ever asked us who was killed or injured that day. Not the United States or my own government. Nobody has come to investigate nor has anyone been held accountable. Quite simply, nobody seems to care.
I care, though. And so does my family and my community. We want to understand why a 67-year-old grandmother posed a threat to one of the most powerful countries in the world. We want to understand how nine children, some playing in the field, some just returned from school, could possibly have threatened the safety of those living a continent and an ocean away.
Most importantly, we want to understand why President Obama, when asked whom drones are killing, says they are killing terrorists. My mother was not a terrorist. My children are not terrorists. Nobody in our family is a terrorist.
My mother was a midwife, the only midwife in our village. She delivered hundreds of babies in our community. Now families have no one to help them.
And my father? He is a retired school principal. He spent his life educating children, something that my community needs far more than bombs. Bombs create only hatred in the hearts of people. And that hatred and anger breeds more terrorism. But education – education can help a country prosper.
I, too, am a teacher. I was teaching in my local primary school on the day my mother was killed. I came home to find not the joys of Eid, but my children in the hospital and a coffin containing only pieces of my mother.
Our family has not been the same since that drone strike. Our home has turned into hell. The small children scream in the night and cannot sleep. They cry until dawn.
Several of the children have had to have multiple surgeries. This has cost money we no longer have, since the missiles also killed our livestock. We have been forced to borrow from friends; money we cannot repay. We then use the money to pay a doctor, a doctor who removes from the children's bodies the metal gifts the US gave them that day.
Drone strikes are not like other battles where innocent people are accidentally killed. Drone strikes target people before they kill them. The United States decides to kill someone, a person they only know from a video. A person who is not given a chance to say – I am not a terrorist. The US chose to kill my mother.
Several US congressmen invited me to come to Washington, DC to share my story with members of Congress. I hope by telling my story, America may finally begin to understand the true impact of its drone program and who is on the other end of drone strikes.
I want Americans to know about my mother. And I hope, maybe, I might get an answer to just one question: why?
Dear President Obama,
I am Ju Hong, the "heckler" that interrupted your speech at the Betty Ong Center in San Francisco last week. I spoke up not out of disrespect, however, either for you or our country. No, I spoke up — and am writing to you now — to ask that you use your executive order to halt deportations for 11.5 million undocumented immigrant families.
My family came to the United States from South Korea when I was 11 years old. Like many immigrants, my mother brought me to this country to seek a better life for her children.
I graduated from UC Berkeley, and am now pursuing a Master's degree in Public Administration at San Francisco State University. I have lived in America now for 13 years. I consider this country as my home. During my senior year in high school, however, I learned that my family had overstayed a tourist visa. We are undocumented immigrants.
As an American without papers, I was not able to get a job, obtain a driver's license, or receive governmental financial aid. When my mother was sick and in severe pain, she did not visit a doctor because she cannot procure medical insurance. And when my family's home was burglarized, she refused to call the police because she was afraid that our family would be turned over to immigration officials and deported.
Like many other undocumented immigrants, I was living in the shadows and living in fear of deportation. However, I have decided to speak out and stand up.
Immigration reform is not only a Latino issue, it's also an Asian and Pacific Islander issue — in fact, it is a human rights issue. Currently, two million of the estimated 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in our country come from Asia. Under your administration, 250,000 undocumented Asian/Pacific Islander immigrants have been deported. While we only make up five percent of the country, we are disproportionately impacted by your immigration policies.
Last week, I was formally invited by White House staff to hear your remarks on immigration reform in San Francisco. As I stood in the stands behind you, I was hoping to hear about your plan to address the lives of 11 million undocumented people living in this country, like my family. And while you expressed your support for comprehensive immigration reform, you did not address how an average of 1,100 immigrants are deported every single day under your administration. You did not address how you deported 205,000 parents of U.S. citizens in the last two years. You did not address how, because of your administration's record number of deportations—nearly two million immigrants in five years, a record—families are being torn apart: spouses are being separated from each other, parents are being separated from their children, and our brothers and sisters are being separated from one another. You did not to address how your administration would end the anti-immigration deportation programs like "Secure Communities." You've deported more people than any other president in the U.S. history.
Interestingly, you talked about Angel Island during your speech. What you did not mention, however, is that more people are detained every single day in detention today than were detained yearly at Angel Island. You recognized Angel Island as a dark period in Chinatown's history, but you failed to recognize that more Asians and Pacific Islanders are in detention today than were in detention under the Chinese Exclusion Act. In fact, your administration detains up to 34,000 people per day, a record number of detainees in U.S. history.
Because you failed to address these issues, I was compelled to address the concerns of our community.
You claim that the President of the United States has no authority to stop the deportations. And yet, in June 2012, before the 2012 election, which you won with the help of Latino and Asian voters, you implemented Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. With the stroke of a pen, you dramatically changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people like me who can now live without the daily threat of deportation, and can legally work in this country for the first time in our lives.
I know that you support comprehensive immigration reform. But I also know that you have the power to stop the deportations, and that you have the power to stop the suffering, fear, and intimidation facing millions of immigrants like my family.
Your fellow American,

This is actually really powerful
No it isn't. It's crappy kitsch by a far-right-wing Dominionist painter (http://www.jonmcnaughton.com/patriotic/) who's convinced that "liberalism is a disease" and that Obama is singlehandedly hell-bent on destroying the Constitution, much more than those other Presidents depicting standing around indifferently. (Gee, what's the difference? WONDER WHY). Classic example of Obama Derangement Syndrome, represented in racist/fascist propaganda art.
Actually when I was scrolling down I saw the top half of the image first and my first thought was "omg first black president we did it we did it WE DID IT." Because while this is an obvious fact, an image where we can see all the previous presidents (all white, of course) and OBAMA, front and center, looking determined, is what struck ME first when I saw this, and brought this point home. MY interpretation is that his expression almost seem to say "f—- all this noise - I have a job to do and I'm gonna do it."
And then I scrolled down further.

Our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law—for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.
President Obama, second inaugural address (via barackobama)
My PI walked by this morning and told me to listen to the inaugural address on podcast. Apparently he found it inspirational and listened to it all the way to work. I'm inclined to agree.

Look around and remember this moment. At the end of the day, it's not the person with the most toys who wins - it's the person with most memories. Because, when you are sitting in your rocking chair at the young age of 100, those memories are gonna be like old friends. Someone you can call on to make you smile. And the more of those old friends that come around the better. "

Ded Moroz or Did Moroz (Russian: Дед Мороз, diminutive: Dedushka Moroz; Ukrainian: Дід Мороз) is a fictional character who in some Slavic cultures plays a role similar to that of Santa Claus. The literal translation of the name would be Grandfather Frost, although the name is often translated as Father Frost. Ded Moroz is said to bring presents to children, however, unlike the secretive Santa Claus, the gifts are often delivered "in person", at New Year's Eve parties and other New Year celebrations.
The "in-person" gifts usually occur at organized celebrations at kindergartens or schools and at circus performances around New Year time where the gifts can be standardized. Various agencies provide Ded Moroz visits to families and offices. In such cases specific gifts can be chosen for particular members at the parties. The clandestine placing of gifts under a New Year tree occurs when a Ded Moroz visit is not arranged for some reason.[1]
Depictions of Ded Moroz commonly show him accompanied by Snegurochka (Russian: Снегурочка), or 'Snow Maiden', his granddaughter. She is a unique attribute of Ded Moroz, no traditional gift-givers from other cultures are portrayed with a similar companion.[2]
Father Frost is accompanied by Snowflake Girl in the Ukraine. Church services start before midnight on Christmas Eve and continue until Christmas mornings. In the past, Father Frost used to bring gifts to Ukrainian children on 19th of December but now the date has been changed to the Christmas date. He rides a sleigh to which only three reindeers are harnessed. Snowflake Girl helps Father Frost in his journey. She wears silver blue costume trimmed with white fur and a snowflake-like crown. Traditional Ukrainian Christmas customs were full of colors and gaiety. Christmas was celebrated on 7th of January here as a peaceful and quiet event to remind us of the Christ born in Bethlehem. Snowflake Girl [3]
The traditional appearance of Ded Moroz resembles that of Santa Claus, with his coat, boots and long white beard. Specifically, Ded Moroz is often shown wearing a heel-length fur coat, a semi-round fur hat, and valenki or jackboots on his feet. Unlike Santa Claus, he is often depicted as walking with a long magical staff.[4]
The official residence of Ded Moroz in Russia is considered to be the town of Veliky Ustyug.[4] The residence of the Belarusian Ded Moroz (Dzied Maroz in Belarusian) is said to be in Belavezhskaya Pushcha.[5]
The earliest tales of Ded Moroz presented him as a wicked and cruel sorcerer, similar to the Old Slavic gods "Pozvizd"—the god of wind and good and bad weather, "Zimnik"—god of winter, and the terrifying "Korochun"—an underworld god ruling over frosts. According to legend, Ded Moroz liked to freeze people and kidnap children, taking them away in his gigantic sack. Parents were said to have to give him presents as a ransom in return for their children. However, under the influence of Orthodox traditions, the character of Ded Moroz was completely transformed, later adopting certain traits from the Dutch Sinterklaas (or Saint Nicholas), the prototype of Santa Claus.[6]
Since the 19th century the attributes and legend of Ded Moroz have been shaped by literary influences. The fairy tale play Snegurochka by the famous Russian playwright Aleksandr Ostrovsky was influential in this respect, as was Rimsky-Korsakov's Snegurochka with libretto based on the play.[4][7] By the end of the 19th century Ded Moroz had become the most popular of the various mythical New Year gift-givers in Russia.[6]
Following the Russian Revolution, Christmas traditions were actively discouraged because they were considered to be "bourgeois and religious".[8] Similarly, in 1928 Ded Moroz was declared "an ally of the priest and kulak".[9] Nevertheless, the image of Ded Moroz took its current form during Soviet times, becoming the main symbol of the New Year's holiday that replaced Christmas. Some Christmas traditions were revived following the famous letter by Pavel Postyshev, published in Pravda on December 28, 1935.[8] Postyshev believed that the origins of the holiday, which were pre-Christian in any case, were less important than the benefits it could bring to Soviet children.[9] In 1937, a man playing Ded Moroz arrived at the Moscow Palace of Unions for the first time. Joseph Stalin ordered Palace of Unions' Ded Morozes to wear only blue coats, so that they would not be mistaken for Santa Claus.[10] During Stalinist times, Ded Moroz, Snegurochka (or "Snow Maiden"), and New Year Boy were featured in Communist-type Nativity scenes, or public appearances, with Ded Moroz as the equivalent of Joseph, Snegurochka as the equivalent of Mary, and the New Year Boy as the equivalent of the Christ child.[11]
During the period of the Soviet Union's dominance over Eastern Europe, Ded Moroz was introduced to many nations. Following the fall of the Soviet Union, there have been efforts to revive local characters.
Ded Moroz is very popular in modern Russia.[12] In 1998, the town of Veliky Ustyug in Vologda Oblast, Russia was declared the home of the Russian Ded Moroz by Yury Luzhkov, then Mayor of Moscow.[13] Between 2003 and 2010, the post office in Veliky Ustyug received approximately 2,000,000 letters from within Russia and from all over the world for Ded Moroz.[13][14][15][16][17] On January 7, 2008, then President Putin of the Russian Federation was reported to have visited Ded Moroz' residence in the town of Veliky Ustyug as part of the Russian Orthodox Christmas Eve celebration.[18]
The western Santa Claus made inroads in the Russian Federation during the "turbulent" 1990's when many western ideas such as liberal democracy and market-oriented capitalism were considered panacea solutions for Russia.[19][20] The resurgence of Russia in the early 21st century brought about a renewed emphasis on the basic Slavic character of Ded Moroz.[21] This included the Russian Federation and subordinate governments sponsoring courses about Ded Moroz every December, with the aim of establishing appropriate Slavic norms for Ded Moroz and Snegurochka ("Snow Maiden" - Ded Moroz' granddaughter) roles for the New Year holiday.[20][22][23] People playing Ded Moroz and Snegurochka now typically make appearances at children's parties during the winter holiday season, distributing presents and fighting off the wicked witch, Baba Yaga, who children are told wants to steal the gifts.[24]
Ded Moroz, and on occasion the Belarus Dzied Maroz, are presented in the media as being in on-going détente with various counterparts from other cultures, such as the Estonian Santa Claus (Jõuluvana or "Old man of Christmas"), the Finnish Santa Claus (Joulupukki or "Yule Goat"), and other Santa Claus, Father Christmas, and Saint Nicholas figures.[25][26][27][28] The détente efforts portrayed have included one-on-one meetings, group meetings and friendly competitions, such as the annual November Santa Claus championships of Celle, Germany.[29][30][31]
In November and December 2010, Ded Moroz was one of the candidates in the running for consideration as a mascot for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.[13]
In November 2009, for the first time, the Russian Federation offered competition to NORAD Tracks Santa with GLONASS Tracks Ded Moroz, which purports to use GLONASS (GLObal NAvigation Satellite System or "the Russian GPS") to track Ded Moroz on New Years Eve (according to the Gregorian Calendar).[32]
The Russian language website (a language not currently offered by the competing NORAD Tracks Santa) includes these features: "real-time tracking" of Ded Moroz, "news" of Ded Moroz throughout the year, a form to send e-mail to Ded Moroz, photos, videos, streaming audio of Russian songs, poems and verses from children's letters to Ded Moroz, information on Veliky Ustyug in Vologda Oblast (considered to be Ded Moroz's hometown) and opportunities to enter competitions and win prizes.[33]
There are equivalents of Ded Moroz and Snegurochka all over the former USSR, as well as the countries once in the so-called Soviet bloc and in the former Yugoslavia.
In Armenia, Ded Moroz is known as Ձմեռ Պապ (Dzmer Pap), which literally means winter grandfather.
In Belarus Ded Moroz is known as Dzied Maroz. He is not a traditional Belarusian character and is never mentioned in national folklore.[5][34]
The official residence of Dzied Maróz (Belarusian: Дзед Мароз, is considered to be in Biełavieskaja Pušča.[5][34]
The original traditional Bulgarian Christmas related male figure is Koledari. This later changed with the growing popularity of Santa Claus around the world during the 19-th and the 20-th century. The Bulgarian name of Santa Claus is Дядо Коледа (Dyado Koleda, "Grandfather Christmas"), with Dyado Mraz (Дядо Мраз, "Grandfather Frost") being a similar Russian-imported character lacking the Christian connotations and thus popular during Communist rule. However, he has been largely forgotten since 1989, when Dyado Koleda again returned as the more popular figure.[35]
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Djed Mraz was labeled Communist and Djed Božićnjak (literally: Grandfather Christmas) was introduced. Attempts were made in the mass media and advertising to replace Djed Mraz with Djed Božićnjak. After 1999 the names of Djed Mraz and Djed Božićnjak became more or less synonymous, including in their use on public television. In some families Djed Mraz is still said to brings gifts at New Year.[36]
In Croatia, children also get presents on December 6. The presents are said to be brought by a traditional figure called Sveti Nikola (Saint Nicholas) who closely resembles Djed Mraz or Djed Božićnjak, except for the fact that he is accompanied by Krampus who takes misbehaving children away.[37]
In some religious families, little Jesus (Isusek, Mali Isus) is said to brings gifts at Christmas instead of Djed Božićnjak.[37]
In socialist Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia) the character who was said to bring gifts to children was called "Grandfather Frost" (Bosnian: Djed Mraz, Croatian: Djed Mraz, Macedonian: Дедо Мраз (Dedo Mraz), Serbian: Деда Мраз (Deda Mraz), Slovenian: Dedek Mraz). He was said to bring gifts for the New Year as celebration of Christmas was discouraged by the Communist regime.[38]
While there is no traditional analog of Ded Moroz in Polish folklore, there was an attempt to introduce him as Dziadek Mróz during the communist period. Communists, opposed to religion in general, considered Christmas and traditional Święty Mikołaj (Saint Nicholas) "ideologically hostile". Therefore, propaganda attempted to replace him with Dziadek Mróz (literal translation of Ded Moroz). Authorities often insisted on using the figure in schools and preschools during celebrations and events for children. This was also supposed to create an illusion of cultural links with the Soviet Union. Despite these efforts, Dziadek Mróz never gained any popular support among the Polish people and after the fall of communism he disappeared from Poland.[39]
In 1948, after the Communists gained power in Romania, it was decided that Christmas should not be celebrated. December 25 and December 26 became working days and no official celebrations were to be held. As a replacement for Moş Crăciun (Father Christmas), a new character was introduced, Moş Gerilă (literally "Old Man Frosty", a Romanian language adptation of the Russian Ded Moroz).[40] He was said to bring gifts to children on December 31.
Officially, the New Year's Day celebrations began on 30 December, which was named the Day of the Republic, since it was the day when King Mihai I of Romania abdicated in 1947.
After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, Moş Gerilă lost his influence, being replaced by Moş Crăciun.[41][42]
In Slovenia the name Ded Moroz was translated from Russian as Dedek Mraz (literally, 'Grandpa Frost'). Dedek Mraz is depicted as a slim man wearing a grey leather coat, which has fur inside and is decorated outside, and a round dormouse fur cap. This version of the character is based on traditional imagery, especially as depicted by Maksim Gaspari. Initially he was said to live in Siberia, but with the Informbiro crisis and the schism between Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union his home was relocated to Mt. Triglav, Slovenia's (and also Yugoslavia's) highest peak. The notion of Grandpa Frost was ideologically useful because it served to reorient the December/January holidays away from religion (Saint Nicholas Day and Christmas) and towards the secular New Year.
After the demise of the Communist regime at the beginning of the 1990s, two other "good old men" (as they are currently styled in Slovenian) reappeared in public: Miklavž (Saint Nicholas) is said to bring presents on December 6, and Božiček ("Christmas man") on Christmas Eve. St. Nicholas has had a strong traditional presence in Slovenian ethnic territory and his feast day remained celebrated in family circles throughout the Communist period. Until the late 1940s it was also said in some areas of Slovenia that Christkind (called Jezušček ("little Jesus") or Božiček ("Christmas man")) brought gifts on Christmas Eve.
Slovenian families have different preferences regarding their gift-giver of choice, according to political or religious persuasion. Slovenian popular culture depicts Grandpa Frost, Saint Nicholas and Santa Claus as friends[43][44] and has also started blending attributes of the characters, for example, mention of Santa's reindeer is sometimes mingled into the Grandpa Frost narrative at public appearances. Due to his non-religious character and strong institutionalization, Grandpa Frost continues to retain a public presence.[45]
In Tatar Ded Moroz is known as Qış Babay (Кыш Бабай, literally: "Winter Grandfather") and Snegurochka is known as Qar Qızı (Кар Кызы or "Snow Girl").[46]
Grandpa Frost is known as Did Moroz (Ukrainian: Дід Мороз) in Ukraine. The roots of the Did Moroz tradition in Ukraine go back to pre-Christian (pre-988 AD) tribal traditions of Kievan Rus,[47] which after the Baptism of Rus became Christianized as part of the Christmas tradition.
Until early in the 20th century, it was a customary ritual in Ukraine to call out and invite Moroz (Frost) to the Christmas dinner to eat the traditional dish of Kutia. This tradition was later secularized in the atheistic Soviet Union as the calling of Did Moroz to the New year celebrations. There has been a moderate revival of traditions after Ukraine achieved its independence in 1991.
The traditional residence of Did Moroz in Ukraine is considered to be the Rivne region.[48]
Moroz is also a traditional last name in Ukrainian culture.
The Nenets people of Yamal know Ded Moroz as Yamal Iri (Grandfather of Yamal).[49]
Chys Khan is known as the master of cold, accompanied by the snow maiden Khaarchana.[50]
In Tajikistan the tradition of Ded Moroz has continued, despite its origins in Soviet propaganda. In Tajik, Ded Moroz is known as "Boboi Barfi" (Grandfather Snow), and Snegurochka is called "Barfak".
Ayaz Ata is the Kyrgyz name for Ded Moroz.

Have tried a few of the "cuba" line and this one is a winner that I added to the collection. Wish it lasted a little longer on the body but it's not overpowering so I can live with how it holds. Recommend to all.

Comments about Cuba Blue Cologne:
This is 4 fragrances in a great package.
Wonderful gift idea !
The 4 slim bottles are in the shape of cigars. It's funny and practical because you can always have one on hand in your shirt pocket.
I like 3 of the 4. I find the Blue less appealing but the other 3 are very nice. They remind of the smell of cigar tobacco but in the nicest scence. Nice and sweet.
The only downside is that (on me at least), it doesn't hold. The smell is so great that I would like it to hold for all day not just 1 or 2 hours.
And at FragranceX, the price is great !
Now that I took a chance, tried and liked it, I will order more before Christmas for sure !

2012 Race Calendar
Just posted my race calendar for 2012 on the right hand side of the site —>
6/15 2.4mi Friday Night Swim Race : This race is just a tune-up and a motivating force to get me in the pool during the spring. I'd like to swim 1:10 or so for 2.4 miles, which will be faster than my time last year.
6/23 Pacific Crest Half-Ironman : I'll be racing at a pace above my Ironman race pace, and testing out all the planned nutrition and gear I plan to use during Ironman Canada. My goal is to beat my time (5 hrs 9 mins) from 2002 when I did this race (and IM Canada) in the same year. I was a much faster runner and swimmer then but I am a faster cyclist now (and generally more experienced racer) so I have a shot at achieving the goal.
7/26: RAMROD (152mi Bike) : OK, this isn't a race, but it's something I've always wanted to do, and after volunteering last year I've guaranteed myself a spot. The 152 mile bike route circles Mt. Rainer and features 10,000 feet of climbing and some of the most beautiful scenery the world has to offer. My goal for this is to finish, and eat a TON of pizza afterwards.
8/17 2.4mi Friday Night Swim Race : My only goal for this race is to swim faster than my time in June and do a great job drafting off others. Targeting a sub 1:10 swim.
8/26 Ironman Canada : This is my "A" race for the year, my big goal. 10 years I raced here in 12 hours 09 minutes, and my goal is to beat that time and go under 12 hours. Back then…I was a much faster swimmer/runner…but poor fueling strategy left me crippled during the last half of the run. This time around, with proper pacing and fueling I have a good shot at going sub 12.
In the fall I will do at least one more triathlon and then transition to running races. Depending on how healthy I feel, I'd like to do a 50K in October/November and give The North Face Endurance Challenge 50 Miler a go.
Ironman CDA: Done!
It's done!
I really had to dig deep this time. The swim went well and I didn't push too hard given the length of the day ahead. With almost 2,500 athletes in the water it was VERY aggressive and I was getting punched, kicked and dunked every few minutes. I came out of the water 5-10 minutes slower than expected.
The bike ride was OK, and again had to keep the pace slow to keep my knee from flaring up. I was really concerned about even being able to finish the race. After 50 miles on the bike I really didn't think I would finish, as my knee was really hurting and I just focused on pedaling with my right (pain-free) leg.
Since there was nothing I could do about in the moment, I just stopped thinking about it and after another 20 miles it sorta became numb and the pain was just a dull ache instead of a short-stabbing pain that usually happens, totally bearable.
The run was humbling. Normally my strong suit, after having not put in many miles running or biking in the past 10 weeks on account of injury, I was only able to slowly jog the first 13 miles (around 9:30 min/mile pace) before walking/shuffling the last 13 miles. My knee didn't cause me too much trouble during the run, my legs were just totally dead overall.
Finishing, however, made me happy and accomplished my goal!
I can't believe that not even 6 weeks ago I wrote this, essentially giving up all hope of being able to race. At the time it was painful to walk and the thought of doing an Ironman was laughable. My lesson in all this is that sometimes listening to your body's aches and pains and giving yourself a total rest is the right thing, and other times it's about getting the FULL STORY on what is actually going on.
In my case, some amazing doctors, a great coach and knowledgeable friends helped me pin-point the issue, treat it and come up with a plan that had a good chance of working…and it did work!
More detailed race report to come later.
Dealing With Setbacks
I'm dropping out of Ironman Coeur D Alene.
It's a really tough thing to say and harder to write out. Many months of training are already in the bank. However, after attempting to ride and run over the past few days, my knee pain has returned in full force.
Walking is painful, biking is uncomfortable and running is impossible right now.
I am going to work with my coach to sort out the right racing plan for later in the summer and fall. For now, my number one priority is to get healthy and build strength and appropriate flexibility to keep my body that way.
The right thing to do is to allow 4-6wks for my knee to heal. I'll be swimming up a storm in the meantime.
Below is a pic from the ferry as I type this post on the way to Whidbey Island.

Weather Shouldn't Stop You From Doing What You Love
Suited up for a 30 mile bike ride on the rocket ship.
Little did I know that over the course of my ~2 hour bike ride the weather would do this crazy dance:
1. Partly Sunny
2. Violent Hailstorm
3. Torrential Rain
4. Cloudy and Dry
5. Violent Hailstorm
6.Moderate Downpour
7. Light Sprinkles
10 miles into the ride, when #2 started – I considered catching a bus and bailing on the ride. It was super painful with the hail and I wasn't wearing sunglasses and had to ride with my head down and one hand shielding my eyes. Instead I saw a little espresso stand and waited it out for 10 minutes.
When #3 began, I headed out again, riding more slowly since the ground was full of hail ball bearings. My Gore-Tex running jacket totally saved me as it kept my core completely dry, even though my fingers and toes were quite cold. Keeping the intensity up helped to keep me warm. Had the weather started with #2 I wouldn't have gone riding at all, but in the end I'm glad I did.
Weather doesn't have to stop you from doing what you love, though it helps to be prepared with the right gear. My next gear purchases will be Gore-Tex cycling shoe covers and clear rain glasses.
How to Run 50 Miles: Part IV – Proper Biomechanics
Read first: Part I, Part II, Part III
The third principle I adhere to is that bio-mechanical efficiency is absolutely key. You can fake it for shorter distances, but the longer you run (both in terms of distance and number of years) – your mechanics will either wear you out or build you up. Hopefully it is the later and not the former that happens! Small inefficiencies in form are greatly magnified over long distances.
Research shows that 2 out of 3 runners are injured at any given time. This is ridiculous. The injury may be a nagging thing like knee pain or a severe thing like a tibial stress fracture (I've had one!) that sidelines an athlete for months. I truly believe that we were born to run. Each and every one of us. Doesn't matter if you are 7 feet tall or 4 feet tall. 300 pounds or 90 pounds. Humans were made to move long distances. It has been necessary for our survival and we're finally tuned endurance machines. Somehow in the modern time we've forgotten this birthright and been duped into thinking we can't run far and need all kinds of fancy shoes and supports to be health. It isn't true.
With the assertion that we were born to run, one would then assume that we should not see the majority of runners suffering from injuries. I know ultra marathoners that run 100+ mile weeks and seem to never get injured, they just get stronger with more training! I also know weekend warriors that are constantly injured and running with all kinds of knee braces, orthotic shoes and other sorts of crutches. Personally…I've suffered tons of injuries in my past 15+ years of running and racing (2 stress fractures, shin splints, hip pain, knee pain, etc.) despite not doing super high mileage and spending lots of time on soft running surfaces like trails. Why is this the case? It's almost like some people are naturally gifted to run and others are not. This is a myth, as we are all gifted as runners.
There are some great articles written about biomechanical efficiency, and for any runner (weekend warrior to competitive athlete) they are worth the time to study. I've spend the past couple years re-learning how to run. It's been a long road and taken effort, but I now enjoy running more than I ever have, and my nagging injuries are starting to heal and I'm feeling stronger than ever. In fact, after coming back to running after a year-long hiatus, I ran a marathon and two 50K trail ultra-marathons…with just a month gap between each event. Most people would think I am crazy to run distance events that close together….but I recovered pretty quickly and never got injured, in fact I felt stronger with each race.
How did I start learning how to run? A few years ago I started running in Vibram FiveFingers a few times a week (just a mile or two) and walking around at work in Nike Free's to strengthen my feet. I focused on landing more towards the middle of my foot and less on my heel. That was pretty much all the running I did, with most of my other exercise coming in the form of yoga and hiking. Just wearing more minimal shoes helped a lot.
After re-starting run training late last summer, I ditched my old training shoes that I used for most of my mileage in favor of Brook's Green Silence shoes – that are ultra-light with a fairly low "drop" from heel to forefoot. I rotated using them with a pair of more built-up cushioned running shoes (Mizuno Waverider's). I built up to the point where running 20+ miles on pavement in my Green Silence is no big deal! The low heel drop helped my feet to naturally land more towards my mid-foot and forefoot. From there…I progressed to track workouts and consistent awareness on landing light and keeping a higher stride cadence (as Barefoot Ted teaches!).
My advice for improving your biomechanics is to:
- Study: Read voraciously….spend time on youtube….read blogs…educate yourself. So many people have "seen the light" and rediscovered the joy of running over the past few years. A lot of the learning is posted online…spend some time on Bing and learn what works and what doesn't…then do try for yourself! If you haven't read the book "Born to Run"…do it and a lot of what I am talking about will make sense :)
- Diagnose: I had my form video-taped and analyzed by a sports doctor (as per the image above). This was incredibly useful! I learned that my hips were "swaying" from side to side, causing all sorts of issues with my knees and hips and feet, even through my foot strike itself was OK. The cause? A weak butt! The solution? Building a super strong ass with one-legged squats and kettlebell swings.
- Transition: Take your time to transition. It may be a year-long process. Start by alternating new shoes (if you decide to go the minimal route) with your regular running shoes until your feet get strong. Changing things too radically can cause injury. If you don't practice yoga, I recommend 2-3 power yoga classes per week, it will greatly improve flexibility in your achilles tendon, hips and hamstrings. This will help you run more effectively.
Here are a two other resources that I've found super helpful:
How to Run: Running with Proper Biomechanics by Runblogger: Steve is one of the all-time fastest high school milers and takes a scientific approach to analyzing running mechanics. This post is a great read and you can continue reading his other posts to learn more tips about how to run well.
Pose TV: POSE is a method or learning functional movement. I've watched all these videos and they are incredibly helpful. In fact, the way Dr. Romanov teaches running technique is so simple, that within minutes of watching the videos I went out for a run and felt instantly faster. One of the best tips was not to focus too much on landing on your mid or fore-foot but instead focus on pulling your heel quickly up to your butt once it passes under your hips, while keeping your stride cadence high. I'm doing a POSE running clinic next week and will write up my experience then.
Happy running!
Weekly Training: Jan 31-6, 2011
Light week of training. Felt pretty drained during the week, mostly due to work and a variety of other things going on (including getting LASIK eye surgery!). Good news is my legs feel pretty fresh and besides the bottom of my feet feeling pretty sore after runs, I am in great shape and injury free.
Monday, Jan 31. Kettlebells (:6:00) followed by short easy run (:12:00)
4 sets kettlebell swings total. 12 swings @ 16kg. 3 x 12 swings @ 24 kg. 90 seconds to complete each set.
Put on shoes and then went directly for a run around a park to test out my new Inov-8 Roclite 295 shoes. The shoes feel really good. I'm planning to use these during the Copper Canyon Ultra run next month.
Tuesday, Feb 1. Day off.
No good reason for a day off. Just got busy, woke up late, tons of work and then got to go downtown to hear Jean-Michelle Cousteau talk about the oceans, how in danger they are and his family adventures over the years (Jacque is his dad!).
Wednesday, Feb 2. Track workout (:50:00)
Ran with Eastside Runners "Group #6." 800 warm up then 1600, 1200, 1000, 800 with an 800 jog in between each. Finished with 800 easy. I hit the pre-determined pace times for group 6 pretty much dead-on. What is funny is that I almost bailed on the run, I felt so tired at the start. After the first 1600 I was then going to stop running, but decided to keep at it. I then felt awesome and finished the workout super strong. Goes to show that a few fast laps around the track can cure a lot of problems! My splits roughly:
1600 = 6:08
1200 = 4:31
1000 = Can't remember…pretty much the same pace as my 1200 though
800 = 2:55 roughly
Thursday, Feb 3. Kettlebells (:8:00)
5 sets of 20 swings with 53lb bell. Took roughly 90 seconds between sets.
Friday, Feb 4. Easy run (:22:00)
Easy run around Medina.
Saturday, Feb 5. Easy run and running clinic with Barefoot Ted (:25:00)
Ran in Vibram Bikila's. A few laps around a soft dirt track.
Sunday, Feb 6. Easy trail run (:80:00) in the afternoon and Yoga (:60:00) in the evening.
Nice and easy (wet and muddy!) fun run at Bridle Trails park with Alison. Practiced using my Amphipod waist pack and bottles with Hammergel flask. The Amphipod is so much better than a Fueltbelt. Also ran in my Inov-8 Roclite 295's and they did incredibly well on the soft, wet and super muddy trails. Yoga was a solid hour of power vinyasa with Dora, with lots of handstands and other fun stuff.
Total training time = 4:26:00
Excited for Copper Canyon. Also starting to realize that Ironman CDA is coming up faster than ever. I gotta get on the bike! For now…it's time to eat.
Weekly Training: Jan 24-30, 2011
Using Training Peaks to track my workouts and log results. It doesn't have the slickest UI, but it has ton of features and analysis tools baked in. Recommend anyone serious about running or triathlons to check it out. This week I wrapped up my Crossfit introduction classes. Felt progressively more tired as the week went on. Need to focus more on getting enough sleep at night. The high intensity training (albeit with very low total hourly workload/mileage) over the past couple weeks also is catching up with me.
Mon, Jan 24. Short tempo run (17:25)
Didn't have much time between work and yoga teaching duties, so I did a super short run, with a 5 minute warm up and a 10 minute all-out effort on a fairly flat road loop near my home. I covered about 1.5 miles in the 10 minutes (6:40 pace).
Tues, Jan 25. Easy run (24:30) + Crossfit (15:00)
Easy run around Greenlake and then Crossfit class. Learned new skills: knee to elbows while hanging from a pull-up bar, rowing, front squat. The workout was a warm up then: 500m row, 4 x (5 burpees, 7 knee to elbows, 9 front squats with 45lbs), 400 meter run. My time for this workout was 8:45, which was the top time in the class by like 20-30 seconds. I was pretty far behind a bunch of strong dudes after the first rounds, but by the third round when others slowed, I just kept going at my same pace. Endurance training has some benefits!
Wed Jan 26. Track workout (57:08)
800 warm up, 6 x (400-200, jog equal distance recovery), 1200 warm down. Ran with Eastside Runners "group #6″ today. I've been running in group #7 for all my other track workouts so far (one notch slower than 6). My times for the intervals were right on given the target times for group 6 (1:23 for 400's and :40 for 200's)
- 400 1:25
- 200 :36
- 400 1:21
- 200 :39
- 400 1:23
- 200 :41
- 400 1:23
- 200 :40
- 400 1:23
- 200 :40
- 400 1:20
- 200 :36
Thurs, Jan 27. Easy run (27:00) + Crossfit (15:00)
Easy run around Greenlake followed immediately by Crossfit where we did a 15 minute timed workout = AMRAP (as many reps as possible) of the following in 15 minutes. I did 4 sets of the entire thing. I was pretty slow, simple due to the challenge of "double unders"! My coordination sucks right now!
- 9 x 20lb med ball cleans
- 12 v-ups
- 15 double-unders
- 200 meter run
Fri, Jan 28th. Drank a bunch of beers to celebrate a Microsoft team member moving on to a new adventure.
Sat, Jan 29th. Long run on roads (2:49:30, 19.5 miles)
Super rainy and cold (45-48 degrees). Ran from Bellevue to Kirkland and back (with some other detours). 19.5 total miles. A few decent climbs. Last long run before Copper Canyon! I will do a couple 90-120 minute runs on trails, but this is the last run I really consider "long" before the big dance on March 6th.
Sun, Jan 30th. AM: Hilly bike ride outside (2:09) PM: Yoga (1:00)
Bike ride through Bellevue, to Kirkland and around Finn Hill and Juanita and back. First day outdoors on the bike in many months. Took it really easy on the flats but there were plenty of climbs and those were a challenge! Went to yoga in the evening. Feel pretty tight since my yoga practice has been slacking of late.
Total training time = 8:49:34
Reading a book called Racing Weight by Matt Fitzgerald. Lots of good stuff in here about what an idea weight is for endurance athletes and how to determine your own, and tweak your training/diet to get you there.
