New Trail Running Shoes: Brooks PureGrit (+ review!)

Jenn Diesi — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:50:56 +0000

Picked these up last night after reading a bunch of favorable reviews online, particularly the one below. They felt amazing putting them on in the store and running around; I can’t wait to try them out! I still love my Nike Free Run +, but I wanted a little more traction in wet/muddy/rocky terrain.

Jenn Diesi — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:50:56 +0000

Finished in 27 min but could only do 20 of the last 30 pushups. I’ve been slacking off WAY too much the last couple of months…

There’s a free 90 min workout @ noon on New Year’s Day if you’re curious about CrossFit.

San Jose Rock ‘n’ Roll Half

Jenn Diesi — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 10:20:44 +0000

Date: October 2, 2011
Finish time: 3:11:03
Thoughts: Tough day. I’ve been suffering from ITBS since May, but was convinced I could run it with the help of a massage stick. This race also came on the heels of Tough Mudder.
Lessons Learned: I can skip/hop/run/shuffle/zombie-run to the finish if I have to – because I’m that determined.

Black Bean-Smothered Sweet Potatoes | Eating Well

Jenn Diesi — Fri, 15 Apr 2011 05:19:34 +0000

For a quick and satisfying last-minute supper, it’s hard to beat a sweet potato zapped in the microwave. The fragrant filling of beans and tomato adds protein, making it a nutritionally complete entree. Be sure to eat the potato skin; it’s full of fiber.

Skype Call Warning That Your Computer is Infected with a Virus

Jenn Diesi — Wed, 06 Apr 2011 05:03:23 +0000

I got a Skype call tonight from an “Online Update Report” (skype ID: drfacupdatazz3) warning me that my computer had a virus. The call was an automated message and suggested that I visit a particular website to download product updates. The message played several times and spelled out the website address.

Apparently this has been going on for some time now (see here, here, and here). I have to admit it’s a pretty clever – it had me scratching my head for a few seconds!

If you get a call like this – don’t visit the website. Instead, block the user:

Right click on the user’s name
Select Block this Person
Skype should ask you to confirm, and give you the opportunity to report them. Select Report Abuse and click Block.

Why does this happen?

By default, Skype allows anyone (not just your contacts) to call you. Here’s how to change that:

Go to Skype – Privacy
Under Privacy Settings, Allow calls from… select people in my Contact list only. Click Save.
