Kike Gavilan’s Egotrip

I’m posting a pic of my half marathon to test the pic posting since I’ve never done it. Here it is….

It’s starting to be concerning, and exhausting. I hope this just goes away tonight. Tomorrow I’m flying to Little Rock, Arkansas where I’m supposed to moderate a workshop for 4 hours. I don’t think you can do that with hiccups….

I don’t really feel like posting, but don’t feel like sleeping either. And if I don’t post today, God knows when I’ll be posting again. Some significant things have been happening and I haven’t posted at all. And that’s mostly because I haven’t posted. Wha??? Yes. I don’t post because I don’t post. The more you post the easier it is and you do it more frequently.

Like riding your bike. If you ride today you are much more likely to ride tomorrow.

So, what significant things have happened?  Well there are some really significant. Like medical procedures for the entire family (wife, mom, brother in-law and now even my wisdom teeth extraction).  Some major (like getting a new kidney!) some minor (like getting your wisdom teeth removed) but it feels like everyone’s been under general anesthesia lately.

By the way, me going into general anesthesia brought me hiccups. Which is what’s keeping me up right now. Woke up in the middle of the night, had a glass of water and sure enough, my hiccups started again. It hasn’t stopped for two days. Every time I have ANY food, my hiccups start. So I went on the web and found that it may be a side effect of the anesthesia. Oh well…..

Another couple of significant things: Diego is wearing glasses now. He looks really cute, but then again, he looks cute without them too. He looks cute. [as in "he looks cute, period"].

$@#! there is it again. My hiccups!! Shit! Not fun.

So, I said two significant things. One was Diego’s glasses, the other one is that I actually did run the half marathon and did it in 1:43:47. I was very happy with finishing and finishing strong. But my training -just like my posting on this blog- has been totally derailed by work, sickness and ….I guess just by the fact that you don’t feel like running as frequently when you run a long-distance event for the first time. I’ll be running all next week in by business trip to Little Rock and Denver.  By the way, running in Denver is not fun when you are there just for one or two days. The elevation kills me!! 

There it is. A new post. Gotta go and drink 2 liters of water. Yep. Two liters. I just read that that’s a way to stop the anesthesia-related hiccups for good. If it doesn’t work, water won’t hurt.
