  1. Thanks for the help Shadow Kurahk.Question Answered.
  2. They aren't too bad, but I'm not sure if I'd be able to recognize them if stumbled upon them browsing brickshelf. I think you would be able to get more detail if you made them larger, but obviously that would increase the difficulty too.

    After being gone for two months it feels weird to be back at my house. It's nice though, since it does beat spending another weekend stuck in the dorms. Went for a really good run today. If I didn't know the date, I probably wouldn't be able to guess that it's almost the end of October, the temperature is still really nice out. The low 60's made for some nice running weather.

  9. It seems like it's been forever since the forums went off-line. I guess I sort of felt like they were never going to come back, but here they are all shiny and brand new. I'm not going to try to give an update on every single thing I've done in the last 5 months(?), but there are a few somewhat important items. I'll probably miss a few things but what ever. Probably the biggest thing is that I graduated from high school all the way back in May and I'm now off at college, studying mechanical engineering at North Dakota State University. It was sort of a transition to move away from home, but I'm enjoying it. I still haven't made it home once though, but that will probably change in about a week. I've been enjoying my classes and I'm not really sure which one will end up being my favorite. I will say one though, taking Calculus I last spring was probably one of the best choices I could have possibly made. I'm basically half a semester ahead of schedule right now, because of Calc I and the other 40 or so credits I transferred in. I've still been running, although I dread to find out what my current 5k time is. I ran a 5k a couple weeks before I came up here and it was just awful, in excess of 27 minutes. Yeah, there's probably more stuff to talk about, but it's already getting late and I need my sleep.
  10. Well, I going to say it was a success. My knee hurt a little bit during my warm up, but it wasn't anywhere as bad on Monday. The run went decently with a 2:42. My knee felt fine both during and after the run so that's a relief. It doesn't feel all the way better now, but I'll probably try running during practices again next week. More ice and cross-training this weekend though. The rest of the meet was also pretty good, one of our freshmen had PR and lettered with a 4:52 in the 1600 M and our 4x800 team ended up finishing four seconds off of the school record. We also had a couple problems. One of the girls fell during the 4x200 and her face got pretty scrapped up. The boys 4x400 relay team also had a terrible run after three of the four runners were interfered with by spectators. Apparently the last runner actually got clotheslined by someone's arm. We also had rain, which started shortly after the 800 M run was finished. It wasn't any where near as bad some of the storms I've seen at meets though.
  11. Woke up this morning and it looked like it was winter again. As much as I love snow, I don't want to see after March, and I certainly don't want to see it near the end of April. I miss last year, it warmed up right after spring break and then it was pretty much nice the rest of track season.
  12. I'm going to be biking and swimming. That might be something to look into. I'll have to see what happens after cross training for a while.
  13. Yeah. I talked to the athletic trainer and I looks like I have tendentious in my knee. I guess I'm going to be doing a lot of cross training over the next couple of weeks and hoping it will get better. I've tried running with it, but that really hasn't worked that well. I'm probably still going to be running in meets, but this definitely won't help my times, not that were that great before.
  14. It's too bad about getting sick, especially after going there for your sisters birthday. I totally concur about school needing to be done. I'd probably be in real trouble if I had two months left as opposed to the two weeks I actually have left.
  15. We have a trainer, but she's not around every day. I'll have to talk to her when she is at the school again.
  16. Not sure what exactly is wrong, but something happened to my knee during track practice on Monday and it hasn't felt right since. I've been icing it like crazy (relatively speaking) and hopefully it will heal up so I can start running again next week. I tried running yesterday, but that didn't really work out. Maybe in a weird way this is a good thing, since it's forcing me to rest giving my shins some time heal too.
  17. It looks great, except for the engine piece. I don't really like how that's the one black piece. The ball is really good, it gives it a more organic feel. You should also post a topic for this.
  18. Some how I don't think my life is ever going to be the same after I finish Calculus 1. I'm still in awe of the power of the derivative. I'm seeing all these connections with the non-calculus based Physics class I took last semester. Physics is going to really fun when I finally get to take a calc based course this fall. We also got the take home test back that we took last weekend. I guess I did pretty well, but the I was most surprised with the rowing rate problem that was on it. I wasn't sure if I even did it correctly, but the professor handed out copies of my solution to the rest of the class so they could see how to do it.
  19. I managed to stop into Toys R Us earlier today since I heard that the series four Collectible Minifigs are showing up in stores now. I guess I got lucky since the associate I talked with said they got their shipment of series four the previous day. I ended up getting a Musketeer, the Hazmat guy, an Artist, the Garden Gnome, and the Soccer Player. I felt almost all of the other figs, but I had to pass on most of them since I didn't want to spend $50. The only ones I didn't find were the Frankenstein and the Mad Scientist.
  20. I like what you're using right now. I'm sure everyone would adjust if you changed it, but it still wouldn't be the same.
  21. The last two weekends were the two indoor track meets that start off the high school track season. At the first meet I ran the 800 M after the guy who was suppose to run it fell twice during the sprint medley. My time was pretty bad, even for what I've done in past years, 2:47. At the second meet I led off the 4x800 M since half of the regular 4x800 team was gone. My split was a little better then the previous week, 2:41, but the junior and two freshmen who also ran averaged about 2:30 each. It doesn't seem like I'm really getting faster. I definitely performing better this year during practice, but my race times haven't changed much since sophomore year. I'd be happy if I could just get under a 2:30 in the 800 M consistently. I don't know if that will happen though, since I might be getting shin splints again.
  22. All of those are amazing. Were you using a tripod or just holding the camera?
  23. My final year of high school track & field started last Monday. I having a hard time believing that it's really been 3 years since I started. I've certainly made a lot of progress, both with speed and endurance, but this is my last year to really do something. It looks like I may be able to set a new personal record although I'm not sure if I'll be able to hit my goal time of 2:15 for the 800 M. My dad also wants me to beat his 5:15 mile from when he was in high school, but I'm not sure if that will happen. Either way I'm not going to let it bother. At the pentathlon my team did for inner-squad competition on Saturday, I ran a 3:08 800 M, faster then what I did last year at the same time, but still not fast enough. Hopefully I be able to run at one of the indoor meets this weeked or next weekend. Then I'll be able to figure out where I stand in an actual race.
  24. I had a nice long update typed up earlier this week, but when I tried to submit it my internet went out and it got lost. I've been pretty and starting on Monday it's only going to get worse. My Spring Break has pretty much consisted of putting in about 35 hours in at the place where I work. Needless to say, I pretty much haven't had a chance to do anything fun this week. Monday is the official start of the 2011 High School Track & Field season at least for me. I'm in the best shape I've ever been at the beginning of a Track season. Hopefully it will translate into breaking my 2:30 PR in the 800 M. It won't matter though, if I get hurt again. Especially if I get hurt the same way I was at the end of Cross Country back in the fall. I'd like to be able to run the 800 M in around 2:15 since that's fast enough for the 4x800 M relay. I'd also like to be able to run at one of the indoor meets this year, since that's something I haven't done yet. Knowledge Bowl Sub-Regions are also on Tuesday. I think I've got a pretty good team, but we have pretty much no hope of getting to Regions the next day. That's probably a good thing since I don't want to have to choose between my college classes and the Knowledge Bowl meet. I've also been adding some new music to my library, which has pushed the family library up to 2,000 tracks. New music includes Crazy Love + The Light Sides by Hawk Nelson and both of The Fray's albums, How to Save a Life and The Fray.
