July Update
Tuesday night was the Party with Purpose 5K in Hoboken. I did much
better than last year, but I'm a little disappointed. They only had it
set up to record gun time rather than net time. The actual start line
wasn't marked very clearly either. Officially my time was 20:20 but if
it took me more than 4 seconds to cross the start line, then I got a PR.
But the world will never know.
Last night was the Verizon Wireless Classic 5K corporate challenge race
in Morristown. They calculated net time, but rather than reading the
RFID tag as you cross the finish line, there was a guy about 10 to 15
feet past the line waving an RFID reader wand over your tag. So you
cross the line... and stop running... and walk a bit... and then your
finish time is recorded. Other than that, it was a decent run. I was
again disappointed in the results, finishing in 20:48.
I may try the Teterboro 5K at the airport tomorrow, or I may just do a
20 mile training run. I haven't decided yet.

It's like I'm 16 again
You'd think I would have learned to drive by now. I've had the DeLorean
for a month now and I'm still a little shaky coming off stop lights and
signs but over all I'm better. I've only driven it a handful of times
and I should really be driving it more often if I want to get better.
I'm thinking of adding a separate section to the site dedicated to the
DeLorean and every step in the process of acquiring it. I found a lot of
useful information on the websites of other owners that helped a lot.
