    W2D3

    And week 2 is a wrap! It was a perfect morning, low 50′s and no wind. I completed the session with ease and I’m ready for week 3! I’ll start week 3 on Saturday morning and after my run I will be camping once again at Lake Sonoma.

    This time it’s a boys only trip. Jason, John and me. I’m pretty excited about both events: running and camping!

    the numbers:
    Distance: 2.07 mi
    Duration: 28′’57″”
    Pace: 13’56″

    W2D2

    Day 2 was much harder then day 1. I wonder if my scheduled time has anything to do with it. I start my morning runs at 5:30AM. The first day of each week is on a Sunday and normally I would start running around 10. We’ll see how I’m doing on Thursday, day 3.

    The numbers:

    Distance: 2.03 mi
    Duration: 28’58″
    Pace: 14’15″

    The Dark Knight

    Awesome movie and Heath Ledger as the Joker is just phenomenal! For a long time I thought Jack Nicholson was the ultimate Joker but Heath just smashed this into pieces. Such a shame he’s no longer with us…

    Cuil—the world’s biggest search engine?

    From the cuil website: The Internet has grown exponentially in the last fifteen years but search engines have not kept up—until now. Cuil searches more pages on the Web than anyone else—three times as many as Google and ten times as many as Microsoft.

    Now that’s a statement!

    Part of their faq:

    How does Cuil improve search results?

    Cuil’s goals are to index the whole Web, to analyze deeply its pages and to organize results in a rich and helpful way that allows you to explore fully the subject of your search.

    So we started from scratch—with a fresh approach, an entirely new architecture and breakthrough algorithms.

    Our approach is to focus on the content of a page and then present a set of results that has both depth and breadth.

    Our aim is to give you a wider range of more detailed results and the opportunity to explore more fully the different ideas behind your search. We think this approach is more useful to you than a simple list.

    So Cuil searches the Web for pages with your keywords and then we analyze the rest of the text on those pages. This tells us that the same word has several different meanings in different contexts. Are you looking for jaguar the cat, the car or the operating system?

    W2D1

    On Sunday I started week 2 of my C25K program. I was using my newly created podcast and my first session was over before I knew it! Interval 4 was the hardest but in the end all was good.

    Unfortunately I can’t publish the podcast (yet) since it’s loaded with copyrighted material. I have to find some songs that are podsafe. Stupid music industry… Mel McMurrin (Calypso for the gamers amongst us) offered to compose some techno songs to accompany the podcasts, so maybe I’m able to release it pretty soon.

    Another blogger has joined us on the C25K program! Welcome Daisy of I/O Geek. Her link can also be found in the C25K blogroll section. Daisy is on the same schedule as I am so it’s an extra motivator to keep a close eye on her progress. She also Dutch (like me!) so I was double thrilled when she left a comment!

    If you running the C25K and have a blog please let me know. I’ll put you on the list and make sure to give some motivational comments about your 5K journey.
