Pretty fast with the stroller

Thu, 08/29/2013 - 8:53pm

When we ran uphill on the Custis trail, towards the bridge over Lee Highway, Nora and I passed two other male runners. I ran past them with a nice pace -- a good feeling. I'm certainly not a fast runner... but definitely not the slowest either!

Running with the stroller usually adds around 5 minutes or so to my running time. I run slower of course, but I also spend extra time crossing the roads -- I'm just more careful when we are with Nora. Tonight was a fast night though -- 43 minutes with the stroller.

Run with buba

Tue, 08/20/2013 - 9:34pm

We ran while Sasha went to Pilates and then we had dinner together. We saw a little doggie bark incessantly against a much bigger dog who didn't react much. Nora was impressed.

USENIX Security Symposium 2013

Mon, 08/19/2013 - 5:37pm

USENIX Security 2013 was a very interesting conference. It was a great way to catch up with the latest developments in the security world, on a wide range of topics. Over the course of 5 days I attended more than 40 presentations. The organization of the conference was top-notch. The venue was a hotel a few minutes from Judiciary Square in downtown Washington, D.C.

Running in the rain

Sun, 08/18/2013 - 9:19pm

Nora likes going for a run. She says "rennen! pappa!".

It was raining a bit this morning, so when we went out for a run I wrapped her legs in plastic. She always brings Wafwaf on her run, and often a small flag too. She will play with those during the first half of the run, and then often doze off during the second half.

Switching languages

Wed, 07/31/2013 - 8:00pm

It is a lot of fun to see Nora learning to talk. She speaks Dutch with me and Bulgarian with Sasha and switches between the two languages effortlessly. Nora is now at a stage where she'll say "no" to everything -- even if she means "yes". It's very funny when we both ask her a question. To Sasha she'll reply "не!", to me she'll answer "nee!". In both cases she might mean... "yes", haha.

Here are some other words:

- "kaa'" vs "гау гау ки" (кашкавалче) (cheese)
- "коремче" vs "buik" (tummy)
- "brood" vs "хлапче" (bread)
- "морковче" vs "orteltje" (carrot)

41 with Nora

Tue, 07/30/2013 - 9:56pm

Run went very well. 41 minutes -- pretty good for a run with Nora, a record I believe. The stroller is almost back to normal, but now it has a very small curve to the right.
