Today I begin a new 5k training plan. I set my PR back in 1993, and I’ve never been fast enough since to beat it. However, even though I’m a lot older now, my running speed hasn’t decreased that much. So I figure with a good training plan, I might have a chance at a new record!

Although I have many years of formal education, most of what I've learned has come from experimenting and trying to solve problems on my own. Once an idea for a project is set in my mind, it is all-consuming and one must learn everything possible about the subject on the way to the outcome. For learning is more than reading books and spoken word, it is hours of frustration, trial and error, and one sudden flash of insight when the world magically makes sense. It is during this moment when I am truely alive.
