Our spam filter for the blog (yes even blogs need spam filters) has now caught over 1,100 spam comments. Add up all of the blog posts, and the corresponding comments, and we are probably around 150 comments. So we roughly get 10 times as much spam for the ham.
The point of this post [...]

A few of us had a nice morning brick – a 14 mile loop around Cary to Cary Park and back – then ran from the Morrisville Aquatics & Fitness Center. From my bike computer, the ride was 14.87 (I think), but I wanted to know how far our run was. Since I [...]

Just stopped by REI over lunchbreak today. The North Hills mall store is having their Annual Garage Sale. I was eyeing a Garmin GPS 305. The REI guy showing it to me mentioned that they have one in their Garage pile – missing a few things, but will go for at least [...]

In tribute to the Social Secretary’s triumphant return, the site now shows the tag – Mitterling Milers.
All in favor say Aye! (The Aye’s have it!)
In top fashion, SoshSec bellowed out his first Galloway “WALK!” with as much gusto as you could expect when you have been hamstrung and unable to run for (how long?) [...]

Whew. If anyone caught it – the site was down for a bit. There was a bit of shenanigans going on with the Wordpress (blog server software) code – this site wasn’t affected, as I have been lazy and hadn’t updated to the just-prior version. So we made the jump from 2.0.6 [...]

I snoop around the web keeping an eye on local blogs and websites. I revisited Outside.In and saw that TriRunWith.Us was already on their list. Cool! After doing some more triathlon snooping, I came across Elite Triangle Triathlon:
The Elite Triangle Triathlon Team (ETTT), established in 2006, is composed of professional and elite [...]

So this local guy Dave Mabe put together a very cool GPS/Google Maps/running log animation. Dave is smarter than your average bear – as evidenced by a book he wrote: Blackberry Hacks.
