The world in my seascape. The chronicles of my world.
The nerves and excitement for the race Sunday morning woke me up around 4:45am. I didn't want to oversleep. So I got up, got dressed. Made my oatmeal. I had important things to do within the hour before we left like pin my bib to my belt. Attach my D-tag to my shoelaces. I took … Continue reading Silver Strand Half Marathon
It was a beautiful day in Downtown San Diego for the Veteran's Day Parade. We met Gigi and walked to the start of the parade, which began around 11am. The Marine Corps Band began the parade, followed by many high school bands throughout. We stood on the street corner waving our flags patriotically, which of … Continue reading Veterans Day Parade
Sunday night I was invited to go to a Josh Groban concert downtown with my dear friend Bruce. I haven't been to too many concerts and plus Josh has an amazing voice so I jumped at the opportunity. We took the trolley from Mission Valley to the Civic Center, and walked maybe a block to … Continue reading Josh Groban @ Balboa Theatre
Yes. Bailey. Its Sunday. Time for a bathy. He will groan and whine, yank the leash, lay down on the concrete dragging his claws along the concrete on the way with his tail between his legs. I wanted to show some pictures of how much of a struggle it is, to bathe Bailey. Well, we … Continue reading Bath time for Bail-Bail
Well I woke up this morning and my biological alarm didn't wake me up until 6:45 am. After a quick breakfast of oatmeal and orange juice, I was off for my morning run. I went down to Liberty Station, where I did my long run last weekend. It also happens to be where I have … Continue reading Good morning San Diego!
Here I am... Three hundred and some miles since I began my training in August. I have come a long way since I began running again. Really since the last time I was blogging was when I had last run. I had stopped doing alot of the things I enjoyed. (Including blogging.) I stopped running … Continue reading 10 days till Silver Strand 1/2 Marathon!
Typical Sunday here with Jason. Sometimes we will spend the day home and watch an exciting day of football! Not that I do not like football. I am an easy going person, plus I enjoy all sports, so I get into the competitive action. I must say since I was young I have always enjoyed … Continue reading Football Sunday and Winston’s Bar in Ocean Beach
This morning in San Diego it was raining outside. A few months ago, I would have looked out the window and thought to myself, "Pffffftttt", or "I don't think so". Immediately after I would have laid back down and never given it a second thought. My former self, was to put it bluntly, lazy and … Continue reading Singing in the Rain, what a wonderful feeling!
(UPDATED OCT 29,2010 8:02PM) Okay. Now I had no idea what I was going to be when I woke up this morning. I went to my chiropractic appointment and everyone was dressed in costume Dr. Seuss style. That inspired me to get serious with my costume idea. I had to do something different this year. … Continue reading Halloween Potluck at NAMI San Diego
It happens to all of us over time. I am referring to the degeneration of ourselves, our bodies over time. The inevitability of arthritis. The impending doom of back pain. Well what if we could treat it? These days there are many many doctors out there who treat current injuries, but what about preventing the … Continue reading The Degenerative Generation
It is Bailey's Birthday Week, yes. Every one in the Ashworth family gets one (a birthday week I mean). So does Bail-Bail. I thought I would take a few moments to re-live some of my favorite Bailey moments. He has always been a well behaved and well natured dog. But dog walking was not one … Continue reading Happy Birthday Bailey!
I sit here early morning, 7:30 am PST. Sprawled on the couch with my computer and two ice packs on my upper and lower back, drinking decaffeinated tea. You heard right...I am taking a break from coffee for a while. I am resisting the increasing urge to put on my workout gear and go for … Continue reading Recovery Day
Where to start with this one.. Bailey has been my running companion for many years. He is always ready to go for his runs early in the morning. In fact, he will always know when it is time to go when I am getting dressed and pick up my socks and shoes. He can run … Continue reading BAILEY, companion, houseguest, and always the charmer
