This month, I have run 79.8 miles. This is alot for me. Last time I ran this much in a month, I was 22.
In the past few years, I average about 20 miles a month.
I set a goal at the beginning of the month to do 60 miles and got carried away.
What I look like now
If you spend time with me now, you would know that I don’t look anything like the picture on the side panel of this site anymore. That picture was taken two years ago– in the summer of 2006 while standing next to my brother on a beach in San Diego. My appearance has changed since then and people who knew me then don’t always recognize me in public.
Like a lot of people, I’m not comfortable with pictures of myself and rarely like how they look. So, I keep that one up until a better one comes along.
On the train the other day, I took a picture of myself to post on Facebook. Here’s a comparison of two pictures two years apart:

| 2006 Me | 2008 Me |
I’ve had a beard for about a year and a half now. The weight I put on is concerning (and I’m seriously trying to get rid of it). The gray in the beard is a surprise too. I wear my hair longer and, for now, I like it that way.
When I posted this picture on Facebook, one of my friends said “What have you done to yourself?” Well, that’s it.
When I find a picture I like for the side of this site, I’ll update it– but for now, 2006 Eric stays there.
2008 Baseball is over (for me)
The baseball playoffs have already started. It seems like the San Diego Padres have been in them so frequently lately that I expect to watch some playoffs in early October.
But this year, they didn’t do to well (an understatement) and the season is over.
The big highlight of the year for me was a few Sundays ago when Chris Young took a perfect game into 8 2/3 innings against the Nationals. It was a day game so I could watch it live in the evening here. It was very exciting and very close. I was also heartbreaking when he was homered off of.
Oh well, next year.
