The Greatest Blog in the Entire World

Race

Yesterday I hit my goal of running 110 miles in eight weeks with six days to spare.

Considering I missed five days to being under the weather I was happy.

So I set a new goal which is 287 miles in sixteen weeks or 2.8 miles per day.

Having a goal is important for motivation. When I would try to run I would have no idea how far I was going and would often over estimate the distance in my head.

I picked 287 miles because the next virtual ribbon I get from Nike comes at the 500 mile mark. Getting the shirts at races also motivates me.

I am thinking of employing a large army of zombies to get me to run faster but I am not sure if they would want to run during the day and I do not like running at night.

Yesterday I had lunch with Alison Steward. Her life is kind of like the Neil Diamond song "I am I said" or the Gladys Knight song "Midnight Train to Georgia" as she is thinking about going back to New York. Being in Limbo is not fun (but also a Jimmy Cliff song)

After opposite of fred I got a call from Jeff and somehow I knew he was in Menlo Park because he said he was on Middlefield Road. (Long road that goes through a number of towns). It took me FOREVER to get from Belmont to Menlo Park and I was kind of getting grumpy which some people find funny. It took me about two hours to get there.

Jeff and I went into Walgreens and the opposite of fred did not believe we are brothers as I was much darker. Perhaps what I was told as a child is true. Maybe they saw the unreleased Star Wars movies before I was born.

In 1983 Jeff and I got lost on our way to Virginia Beach. It took us about twelve hours. I guess this would not happen as we have cell phones and real directions.

We discussed all of the odd characters in the Marlton of the 1970's and 1980's. I think the population at large is odd.

I also think Upper Marlboro was kind of isolated. We were not a big fancy town like Bowie or Waldorf.

Thought about my toil selling Newspaper Ads for the Bowie Blade and the Maryland Independent.

Surprise Guest on the Marcus show....

I get a call from Jeff and it turns out he is Menlo Park (which has a
really good library)

I do not expect NFL Players to be scholars.

If I had to choose between playing with dogs or NFL football I think dogs would win.

Duck Problem

One thing I forgot to add in the whole Bay to Breakers thing is that I was listening to "Band on the Run" by Wings when I was running up the Hayes Street Hill. As I reached the crest, the tempo switched which signaled that the race was downhill from that point.

So I get back from Bay to Breakers and wanted to relax in the hot tub (and drink beer from Belgium) and in the pool was this mother duck with some ducklings. Now I do not know much about ducks but it seemed that the mother got them into the pool without a plan to get them out.

Some people in the hot tub thought about removing the ducklings but I told them not to because the mother might freak and then I would somehow be tasked with raising ducks. I would then be that guy Marcus who walks around with a bunch of ducks. My idea was to use a pole to make a bridge so the other person put the pole into the water.

Did an internet search and saw that you are to create a bridge for the ducks. Saw one of my neighbors has done that. Will see how it plays out.

2007 Bay to Breaker Results

So I will need to get an Examiner the next few days as they print the

I beat my old best time by over ten minutes.

I saw Frank Chu, Tryst (and Trish), Chris Peterson and Alison Steward.

Despite the worst Burrito ever a good day

To start off with I had a really good day so when I describe some of the details you will not think that I am someone who put a bunch of olives in his mouth when expecting grapes.

Went to the Oyster Festival at the Fort Mason area.

I only had a couple of beers because tomorrow I am running bay to breakers AND they had long queues for the porta potties.

As I was running I was not going to have any oysters as that is unpredictable food item.

So I saw they were selling burritos. Since I have been living in California the Burrito has been consistently a food item of beauty with its simplicity and they are always consistent, fairly inexpensive and filling. I saw that a booth run by a local Taco joint was vending burritos to the festival goers that were not partaking in Oysters. I am not a snob. I LOVE Taco Trucks. I ordered a vegetarian burrito. First off it was small and much more offensively cold. It was pre-made. I would have been happier with Taco Bell or even a frozen (but micro-waved) one from a 7-11. There was no excuse for this vile burrito. It should not have existed. I would give a review on Yelp but they do not allow for negative stars.

(I did have a good day)

Next item this guy had a bulldog who was able to ride a skateboard. Typically I think tricks are very bourgeois but this was cool. I would show you the video BUT I forgot my camera battery.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_tjUQcrB7M

(This was not the same dog nor were they playing Sk8ter Boi)

It was a good festival with perfect weather (a little chilly for most but not for me) and I had a really good time. This is one of the points in the blog when I do not go into further detail.

Tomorrow is Bay to Breakers and I am picking out the songs for my run. I will have ALOT of gadgets such as my iPod, my digital camera and my phone.

The Sweet Taste of Victory

For the first time this season, our team ended up on the winning side of the score!

Most of us played really well but my serve was off.

We won two of three games.

Plans for Bay to Breakers were discussed. I am going to run it and then somehow make it back to where my droogs are. That is an elaborate plan.

We went out to Pluto's we we avoided the whole annoying thing of splitting the check.

Used to be into Sushi

When I first moved to California, I used to be really into Sushi.

I liked going to this all you can eat joint where it was like $6.99 all you can eat.

I now know that all you can eat Sushi and low cost do not go together.

When I brought my brother Jeff to this place he was not impressed.

At Northpoint I was real into going out for Sushi but over the last few years, I am less and less into it and I would not eat the roles.

I try not to eat rice as it gives me this totally full feeling.

I also try to avoid all you can eat places as you get this idea that you have to eat a certain amount to come out ahead.

Met Urban Diversion in San Francisco at this overly crowded place for Happy Hour/Sushi but I did not feel like drinking or eating Sushi.

Drove across town to the Onion's Wilco thing but I was not a winner.

It got really windy and cold. Hope its nicer when we play volleyball tomorrow.

I like good thin crust pizza (harder to find than you expect), Indian food and vietnamese (as I cannot make Pho and such)

Run up Hills

The vast majority of my running has been flat. Very few hills to speak of.

Makes a slight difference.

Anyway I went to the Marina for Fleet Fred (Feet) Tuesday night run.

http://www.fleetfeetsanfrancisco.com/bowermans-tuesday-night-run

The sign in the window had us going on a five mile run which is more than I wanted to go but they changed the sign to a more reasonable 3.2 miles.

We ran up Lombard and I thought I was going to add to my pie chart but I made it. Social Pressure is a positive thing.

They do not charge but when I have to buy new fred containers, I will be going to this store.

In the next twelve days I have to run 19.8 miles with seven coming on Sunday with Bay to Breakers.

I spoke to my neighbor down the hall and she was asking me for fitness advice. As you know, I enjoy being asked for advice. I would have to say that is my hobby. I told her that working with a nutritionist is worth it. I have a long way to go to be where I want to be.

While in the Marina I bought some quinoa.

Waka Pictures

Here are some pictures from Kickball.

I was happy to see that the Gap on Haight Street was closed. A good
sign of progress. I would be OK with a Gap in Serramonte but on
Haight Street, no.

First off a message about global warming
http://www.ultimatestupidity.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/

time_2dchange.jpg

I like when dogs show up at places BUT I do not understand why people
bring dogs to fireworks. They have Super hearing. Stop bringing your
dog to the fireworks. They do not want to go.

Of course we ran into the great Frank Chu and he happened across a
giant penguin.

Ran into among others Gwen Majors and Arne Wilburg but could not find
Katie Alton. (She probably had the good sense to stay home and listen
to it on the radio and send me random text messages)

Gwen scored points as she provided access to the facilities. One of
my odd fears os getting locked into a porta pottie.

The music was strange. Started off with the Star Wars theme. They
should have ended with that.

Here is the entry from last years KFOG Kboom

The Human Race

Drove down to the MV for a Saturday Morning race. I was supposed to
run the 10K but my back hurt a little and I went with the 5K.
Ran these paths a number of times.
Saw loads of dogs. None of them had any cuteness.

Next week is Bay to Breakers.

Mo Fan

Unless I thought of something really clever, I would not get personalized tags (like 1kfalcon) but I did see one that I wish I would have thought of "MO FAN".

The Livery Driver was probably someone who is a regular reader of the greatest blog and has become a fan of Cosmo the greatest living dog.

Was at Fiddlers Green for the event with Meetup.com and opposite of freded out peeps. Loads of people had never seen this Easter treat.

It seems they now offer sugar free peeps. Considering that I thought it was all sugar and maybe some air my mind cannot get around what it is composed of. This is harder than traveling back in time and explaining to the 1987 version of myself about how I update my blog via a telephone (we are in the future). The whole time travel bit may be difficult but you never know what those scientist will think of next.

Volleyball

So Delirium Tremens had their third week of volleyball and we got it opposite of freded it to us by a team that was short opposite of freded (On24)

It was cold and blustery but the sunset over the bridge was quite nice.

One side of San Francisco (The Sunset) could be overcast and the Marina can be quite nice. I think it would be really easy or really hard to be a weatherman in San Francisco because you will always be right and you will always be wrong.

I saw a funny news headline about Uri Geller (a guy who bends spoons) and a critic suing each other

If you can bend spoons why can you do more super hero type stuff? I would like the ability to make peoples cell phones really hot when they are talking inside a place but I have not figured that or any other parlor trick out.

On Saturday I am running a race in Mountain View http://www.vcsv.us/humanrace/

The next weekend is the Bay to Breakers.

Feedback from the readership

It bums me out when I am in a neighborhood that I had not visited in a while and I see that a favorite closed. The Canvas closed on April 29th. It was my second favorite spot for blind dates (behind Java Beach which is still open)

I did see that Burger King closed on 9th Avenue which is not nearly as sad. It had all sorts of protests.

I am glad they did not put a burger king in my complex.

Marcus the usability expert

One of the things that I do that I think is somewhat innovative is when I park the Marcusmobile, I take a photo of where my car is so when I go back to my car, I know where it is.

This evening I was at the BayChi meeting at PARC and they were discussing getting feedback on mobile applications.

I got on the mike and did not do beat boxing but told them how I use my Treo to update the Greatest Blog and the whole idea of taking pictures of parking spots.

Someone from Palm came over and wants me to do usability studies as a power user.

Marcus Ronaldi

Finding $10

Yesterday as I was walking along I saw a five dollar bill. I picked it up. It was not covered in peanut butter and attached to a string.

Then I saw another $5 bill and picked that up. It stopped at 2 but it was a good sign.

The weather was really nice as I went to the Park Chalet in the late afternoon.

Some thoughts on Spiderman 3. It was too long with subplots I could care less about. A guy was talking on his cell phone and his conversation was more interesting than Peter Parker walking down the street. Hot Fuzz is a way better time at the films.

Gwen goes to Marcusland

Gwen Majors and her beau Bryan are visiting the great state of Marcusland. I think they are looking to hide Malinkey

I thought it would be really funny if they went to the compound and they pretended they were somehow related. Perhaps we could get Mum in on the joke.

They could visit Andrea and meet Cosmo and see his genius....

So when I am at eating in the court yard, and I tell people how Cosmo would solve a difficult problem at least one person will understand the context of what I am saying.

Chimay is good. Anything made in the Trappists way is good. If you want me to think that you are a good egg, you do not need to weigh a standard poodle on the moon, or get me an exception to the dog weight rule at Crown Colony (in Daly City) (kind of annoyed that they do not simply say, Marcus can have a standard poodle!!)

Preeya Kalidas is singing about being famous. (At this point I am trying to be obscure)

The last two Fridays I did some something that was a surprise so I have to think of something.

Marcus Ronaldi

OK It was exciting to watch the Warriors game

That was fun watching that game.

Watching the Mavericks go down was good.
