Acupuncture, 24 Miles Biked and 8 Miles Run

Here’s what I look like when I’m 40 pounds lighter and 10 years younger:

I intend to be back at that weight in the next year or so.

I’m still healing my left calf, which has had severely cramped muscles and tight tendons and also my right hip, which I threw out of place by not allowing my calf to heal :-( so the last week was mostly biking and concluded with an 8 mile trail run in Escondido. The run was rough on me and I still have some healing to do, but the run was gorgeous.

I had acupuncture last Friday. This was my first time. It was amazing! I won’t go into the details, but suffice it to say I went in barely able to walk up stairs and left skipping (figuratively). While I still struggled with some pain, I could never have done the run on Saturday without the acupuncture. My neighbor is the acupuncturist and was kind enough to treat me for free, yay! She’s also completing her PhD in Eastern Medicine and was very knowledgeable across a range of disciplines including exercise physiology. Acupuncture == Awesome.

Post Production, Please?

Dude, photoshop the grease off my forehead!

There was an article in the San Diego Business Journal (SDBJ) last month about MindTouch. I’ve had many people congratulate me on the article. I was somewhat perplexed because MindTouch was also recently in the New York Times and I’ve had more people congratulate me about this SDBJ article than I did when were in the New York Times or Wall Street Journal! I didn’t realize how well read SDBJ is locally. Then I learned yesterday the article was on the cover, above the fold. No wonder.

I don’t know what photo was used in the print edition. Probably the same above,. However, I hope they used one that doesn’t highlight my greasy forehead. :-) If anyone has a copy of the print issue please send me a copy.

I'm Huge In Israel

I’ve had my photos used by the Wall Street Journal, Building.com and other less popular pubs. Here’s another of my photos in the wild:

I'm HUGE in Israel

In case you’re wondering, the article is about Israeli moms that have natural child birth after having had previous births by Cesarean. The subtitle for the image reads: “Weary but jubilant.” :-)
