08/30/2004 01:14 AMAP - Everyone knew the marathon was going to be tough, but having to
dodge a would-be tackler in a kilt, green beret and matching knee-high
socks wasn't an expected obstacle. It was definitely a bizarre way to
end the Olympics. Even the highly unusual fact that an American won a
silver medal paled in comparison.

04/04/2005 06:24 AMCory Doctorow:
The Open Knowledge Forums are a series of lectures and panel
discussions about the ways that "open knowledge" can benefit the
public interest. The next one is a week away, in London, and it's
about a plan to produce a set of public domain maps of London
(London's maps were produced at tax-payer expense, but can't be freely
used; rather, you have to pay the ordinance survey thousands of pounds
for the privilege; by contrast, US government maps are free and
plentiful, and form the basis for thousands and thousand of competing
mapping efforts, from Michelin guides to Google Maps).
There are a number of interesting proposals for this, including
deploying an army of GPS-wielding geohackers, and buying up Russian
satellite photos of London. Check out this squib from last January's NTK:
London's geowanking
fraternity have come up with an intriguing proposition. With a
grand's worth of Russian 1-meter resolution satellite pics,
they believe they can stitch together an entirely free,
redistributable vector database of the capital, freed from
the shackles of the Ordnance Survey's restrictive copyrights,
and thus open to all manner of GPL-style repurposing.
Here are the details:
* When: Thurs April 14th 2005, 7-9pm
* Where: Stanhope Centre, Marble Arch, London. [WWW]Directions
* Who can attend: public. Registration is optional but useful so
please notify us if you can via okforums-info@okfn.org.

06/28/2004 07:55 PMQuick announcement:
Anne had lots of Marathon stuff written up (we compose everything
offline in Textedit) and the fucking computer locked up. Like a
bonehead, I'd forgotten to save it (along with some other important
stuff) so it was lost.
I tried cashing in all my computer geek points to resurrect it, but it
was DC 45, and all I got was a modified 8.
So that's been set back at least a few days. We both know how many of
you guys who supported us and Kris are looking forward to the story
wrapping up, but I hope you'll bear with us a little bit longer while
our Real Lives take up most of our attention.

community has enhanced the popular title and kept it up-to-date. This
year, celebrate Marathon's tenth anniversary by playing Marathon:

wrong with us if we're waking up to run in 32° weather every
weekend for the purpose of gaining entry into a marathon!" Of course,
I mean "wrong" in the good sense! I've already got two marathons and

06/17/2004 08:31 AMFrom Runner's World, common sense 10 Principles of Marathon Training:
A marathon training program can survive any challenge -- as long as
your determination remains strong. Here are 10 principles to carry you
through your training.
From my four and seven-year-old cousins when I told them I was going
to run the NYC Marathon:
Cousins: How far is a marathon?
Meg: How far do you think it is?
C: Ten miles?
M: Guess again.
C: 20 miles?
M: More than that, keep guessing.
C: 300 miles?!
M: Oh no, not 300. Only 26 miles. But still, that's like four hours of
running non-stop!
C (McKenna): Oh, that's not so bad. That's only sixty minutes. Plus
sixty minutes. Plus sixty minutes. Plus sixty minutes.
And she's right. I know I can run sixty minutes. Now I'll just do it
four times in a row.

The very long half-marathon
The very long half-marathon
03/22/2005 03:36 PMSaturday morning I ran the Brooklyn Half-Marathon, a supposed final
"tune-up" before the Paris Marathon which looms before me on April
10th. Since I've been skiing a lot more than I should be, and running
a lot less (with the slim hope that all the skiing will be close
enough to running to "count"), I'd lowered my goal for Paris from Sub
4:30 Marathon to Just Finish and Have Fun. Judging by my performance
on Saturday, Just Finish will be a challenge, and Have Fun will be
unachievable.
Guh! Who would have thought 13.1 miles could be sooooo looooong?
Perhaps it was because I skied for nearly seven straight days, then
headed to San Diego where I barely got any rest and conferenced up a
storm, then flew the red-eye back to NY and two nights before the race
had only 4 hours sleep? Perhaps it's because I just haven't done the
work. Either way, my legs felt like lead, and I had to coax them
through the flats of Brooklyn and then plead with them through the
rolling hills of Prospect Park. Final result? 2:18:52. I'm really
beginning to dread Paris.

Paris Marathon training plan
Paris Marathon training plan
02/01/2005 09:14 PMI've begun my training for the Paris Marathon though I haven't really
been running much yet. I've been doing some swimming, a lot of
downhill skiing, ice skating/hockey, and some snowshoeing. I guess
you'd call that cross-training, wouldn't you?
When I trained last year for the New York City Marathon, I followed
this Marathon Training for Beginners program from Runner's World. It
worked great and I felt 100% prepared when I got to the start. But
when I looked at their Intermediate Program, it seemed awful long for
someone who was already in marathon shape, especially since I was
hoping to give my body a little time to recover from NYC.
After talking with some more experienced marathoners (including a sub
three hour runner), I gravitated towards a shorter program that
encourages less running per week but stresses higher mileage. I'm
using Hal Higdon's Senior Marathon Training Program. It has three
major benefits for me right now:
1. It's only eight weeks long, meaning I don't have to really start
running regularly until the week of February 13th. That gives me a
little more recovery time for my achy hip and lets me do more fun
outdoor activities. Otherwise I'd be using up nearly all my energy
running, and that wouldn't be much fun!
2. It (hopefully) gives New Hampshire some time to warm up! It's been
brutally cold here, around -10° F (-23° C) at my usual morning
running time. I don't mind running in the cold, but -10° is a
little too cold.
3. With only three days of running, I have time for cross-training.
For the two Stretch & Strengthen (S & S) days, I'm going to a
Masters swim team program (no racing, just good organized swim
workouts) and doing weights when I get home.
Will the less is more approach work? A big test will be the NYRR
Brooklyn Half-Marathon on March 19th. My goal for Paris is 4:30, which
means I need to do 2:15 or better in Brooklyn. That's less than two
months from now, so I guess I'll find out soon enough!
