Random Madness

So I’ve been thinking about changing up my blog a little because I am totally jealous of other bloggers and their swanky customized headers. As you can see I have changed my header to reflect the noble struggle in which we as triathletes are all engaged.

Well, maybe not but still, it’s something. In matter of fact I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I consulted with the GEEKGRL and in typical techie fashion she said “Ok, do this, click here, point there, click here now save” and I started with the “Well, why?, what does that do?, what’s that?, is this thingy going to do that?” and I was told to “JUST CLICK THERE and save” and so I did and now my beloved old blog is gone forever, unless I totally rebuild it from scratch, which sounds like a lot of work.

So, for now it’s random madness. Don’t get used to anything because it’s in flux…unless of course I just give up on it which is very likely. While I may be persistent in athletics and in my professional life I am the current grand master of the Luddite movement and actually loath techie stuff and have no patients for doing anything beyond this simple bit of blogging that I do to wow and amaze our nations most vulnerable citizens…those that can be happily convinced to part with huge sums of time and money all for the purpose of pouring sweat.

I love you guys.

  1. Heh :) I'm digging the new look... although "sloth" doesn't really say "clyde" to me, I would think perhaps an elephant would be a better fit?

  2. I think the pic is really cool.

    The caption is the best. Whatever you decide with it, the "endurance will Conquer" is a keeper.

  5. Nice - I'll give you a couple of weeks, to see if you change it out, then put it on my blog. You can still get in there and mess with the boarders and widths of posts to give you more room next to your pictures and such. Now you have to redo all your PR stuff, your schedule, etc that you had in the right margin, but blogger has templets for that too. you'll be alright - just let GeekGirl do it. And don't ask Why!

    Oh, and Woodlands is like 47 months away, so signing up for it was not in the spirit of doing too many races in a row - and yes, you are insane in that regard. By then, I hope to be "Myles-nemisis worthy"...(evil laugh and wringing of hands...)

  6. oh, and you know your e-mail address when you post is non-returnable, meaning I can't reply directly to you when you post to my (or anyone elses) blog - not sure if that's on purpose or not, but you could get GG to fix that for you too.

  7. In my defense, I would like to point out that I did not select that odd picture. It already resided on your hard drive, for what reason I have no idea.

  8. I like the new look Miles. But a sloth? You were in the top 10 finishers of the Sully Super Sprint and top 15 @ the Atomicman duathlon! How about an armadillo or something deceptively fast?

  9. I bet that sloth can use his foot to control the remote.

    *sigh*
    That's just an unreachable dream for me.

  10. PS: You spelled LOATHE wrong. I love you back. XOXO and not just because of your blogging.

  11. Nice look of your blog. That photo is awesome. A year and a half ago you could have put my head on that guy and that would have been me. Hope the IM training is going good and the injury bug stays away from all of us.
