I am writing a PHP script designed to run an executable file (ffmpeg.exe) via the exec() function. The problem is that I have read that using the exec() function can be a security risk and should be avoided if possible. I have been doing some research into how to run the exec() function securely, and the only thing that I keep coming across is to filter the command string with escapeshellcmd or escapeshellarg. What I want to know is if it is possible to further increase security when using the exec() function or if there is a secure alternative to exec(). Any help would be appreciated.
Here is my code;
define('FFMPEG_LIBRARY', 'c:\\ffmpeg7\\ffmpeg\\bin\\ffmpeg ');
$transcode_string = FFMPEG_LIBRARY." -i " . $srcFile . " -acodec libmp3lame -ab 64k -ar 22050 -ac 1 -vcodec libx264 -b:v 250k -r 30 -f flv -y " . $destFile;
$transcode_string = escapeshellcmd($transcode_string);
$srcFile is basically the video for transcoding while $destFile is the output file I wish to create.

DDR Completes $175 Million Of Strategic Transactions In Second Quarter 2013
BEACHWOOD, Ohio, July 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR) today announced that it completed the acquisition of its joint venture partner's 85% interest in five prime power centers located in Atlanta, Tampa and Richmond for $94 million in the second quarter of 2013. Also during the quarter, DDR disposed of $64 million of non-prime assets, of which $60 million was the Company's share.

These transactions allow DDR to further enhance its portfolio quality while also simplifying the Company's structure. The investments were funded with proceeds from asset sales and the issuance of common equity. DDR issued 2.5 million new common shares during the quarter at an average price of
$17.83, generating gross proceeds of
$45 million. These prime power centers were unencumbered at the time of acquisition, and will be included in the Company's high quality unencumbered asset pool.

I know there are genetically modified rainbows out there but this is just getting plain silly!
Picture and story at JournalStar.com
I know there are genetically modified rainbows out there but this is just getting plain silly! Picture and story at JournalStar.com So I get a lot of emails from people. Especially now that the new season is approaching and people are thinking fishy thoughts. My visitor numbers have doubled as usual at this time and so have the emails. Usually they are the usual what flies, what rod variety with the possibility of meeting new people but some are different. I got an email a few weeks ago and I think my answer came across a bit strong or not subtle enough or something. Here it is, although the authors name not included. I thought long and hard about my answer, what advice I could give to this kindred soul who was so obviously moved by this little gem he had found that he had to reach out and tell me about it. My reply was thus. Like I said, I think I came across to strong, I have not heard a reply. Ah yes, a happy Monday morning to you all! I was looking through my photographs when I came across this. I often take photos of random objects thinking that I will post and blog about them and then forget, and this was one of them. It is a little plaque on a boulder in the vet school. It does not take a genius to work out that Julie Nybo used to take "Titch" for a walk through the grounds and they are now both departed, although if anyone knows different please get in touch. If you look at the brass plaque of Julie and Titch you can see it is bashed as well. Makes you wonder why people vandalize things like that. edit: I found this from a newsletter in 2001 So this year I am determined to actually identify the flies on the water. Last year at the start of the season the trout were going crazy for the large dark olives, so I have been tying up many patterns. I suppose fly identification and fly fishing go hand in hand! Therefore I have been consulting my little bible of flies. For those that dont have it it is The photos really are very good, and it should sort out those "what fly to try today" for begginers as it gives you 7 patterns for any situation! BBC NEWS | UK | Extra fish planned for UK rivers I am a firm believer that young people should have a hobby and this just proves it. It is allso good to see they are highlinghting fishing as being one of the most popular leisure pursuits, helping sustain 20,000 jobs in the industry and local economies near rivers. If you have been using IE you may have noticed that the sidebar went a bit wonkey around a week ago. The sidebar ended up away down on the page. This is because of a wonky bit of code somewhere that jiggered everything up. As I use firefox I did not notice, it was just on the offchance that I fired up IE to have a gander at something that I noticed. It just goes to show how clunky IE is as a browser and should be a lesson to you to get a proper one. A nice post over at Muskoka Outdoors Blog If there is something I like, other than a bargain, it is good service. I have written about Riverkeeper before but thought I would again just in case you missed it. It is now nearly the start of the season and I am doing my usual getting my tackle sorted out, what I need new and what I can salvage from last year. What I cannot salvage are my tapered leaders. Anyway, rather than trek all the way to the GAC I remember that this nice little online shops sells lots of Fulling Mill stuff and therefore ordered up some Fulling Mill tapered leaders, some "Shake n Float†and some putty for nymphing. No order too large or small it all comes with free next day delivery. Startling service! Anyway, Riverkeeper sells lots of interesting fly fishing stuff including flies, reels, tapered leaders, rods etc . It is pretty much all Fulling Mill branded, but I reckon with them you cannot really go wrong! You can visit the site here Riverkeeper So I found myself taking a stoat along beside the River Leven today as it was on my journey. Sounds good to me ! |

Posted March 12, 2013 7:18 pmAye Mainge!The power sure seems to be there, but he appears to be a tad on the slow side with few boxing skills. It's been said that "speed Kills" and it's probably only a matter of time before he meets a top level opponent who will take him to school pretty decisively. Still, he's definitely a very entertaining fighter to watch with the kind of punching power he displayes. I certainly look forward to watching him in future bouts. Posted March 12, 2013 4:02 pmFight AficionadoAs mentioned before there's a lot of holes in Mago's game, mainly he's got utterly no defense and is slow. But I disagree he's 'going nowhere.' There's always a place for big punching heavyweights, especially ones who are routinely in fan friendly fights.

Google is moving into the famed "Binoculars Building" new office on Venice Beach, sale-leaseback firm WP Carey announced today.
The building, actually named the Chiat/Day Building for its original ad agency tenets, was designed by Frank Gehry – one of the one or two architects we've ever heard of.
The huge binoculars sculpture out front was designed by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.
Oldenburg, you may recall from 1990s movie Clueless, is that artist who makes huge sculptures of every day things – cigarette butts, spoons, and such.
Google is hiring 6,000 people this year. The Venice Beach campus will total approximately 100,000 square feet.
This is a shot from 1995, 10 or so years after the building was finished.
Construction took a while because of some toxic contamination
Frank Gehry is famous for other buildings, like the Guggenheim Museum in Spain

Title: | H∞ filtering of networked systems with time-varying sampling rates |
Author: | Abdallah, Chaouki T.; Borges, Renato A.; Oliveira, Ricardo C.L.F.; Peres, Pedro L.D. |
Abstract: | In this paper, the problem of robust filter design for networked systems with time-varying sampling rate is investigated. The design conditions are obtained by using the Lyapunov theory and the Finsler's Lemma. A robust filter, that minimizes an upper bound to the Hinfin performance of the estimation error, is obtained as the solution of an optimization problem. A path-dependent Lyapunov function is used in order to obtain less conservative design conditions. Robust filters based on affine parameter-dependent Lyapunov functions can be obtained as a particular case of the proposed method. Numerical examples illustrate the results. |

Industry research firm Gartner just released its latest data on mobile phone sales for the first quarter of 2012. There are some interesting points to be pulled out of this report that I wanted to address.
More →
While others keep iPad ghettoized as a "media tablet" analyst firm Canalys is boldly classifying it as just another PC form factor and in so doing, shooting Apple up to #3 on the worldwide marketshare chart behind HP and Acer but ahead of Dell and Lenovo.
Canalys urges vendors to accept new market realities, by recognizing pads as an integral new component of the overall PC landscape. Unlike other analyst companies, Canalys incorporates pad shipments, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab and Apple's iPad, in its total PC market report.
The IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker claims that Apple's record Q3 this year was exactly what it needed to bypass RIM and take over the fourth spot on their list of global mobile phone vendors. Apple is currently still behind, Nokia, Samsung and LG according to a report from Business Wire. Apple has been a dominant force in mobile phones since the introduction of the original iPhone 3 years ago but has never been able to sneak into the top 5 list of global mobile phone vendors. Their arrival into the top 5 knocked out Sony Ericsson devices the first time since IDC started this survey back in 2004.
Once again the internet is flooded with catchy headlines that Android outsold iPhone for the first half of 2010. And why not, that's a great headline. But it's also -- to quote the Simpsons -- unpossible.
Which Android device out sold iPhone? No, not the one with the GBs. Android is an OS, not a device. iPhone is a device, not an OS. Android is also not sold, it's given away by Google for free. Android devices are what's sold.
During the WWDC 2010 keynote today, Steve jobs did his usual bragging announcement of the numbers for devices sold, apps downloaded, percent market share, etc.
Apple's iPhone has hit 30% marketshare in the US, according to ChangeWave. When laying out the current players, 4,225 consumers were surveyed, 39% of whom owned smartphones, and of those the top 3 answers were RIM's Blackberry down ever-so-slightly to 40%, the iPhone up 5% to hit that 30% mark, and Palm steady at 7%. As sibling-site PreCentral.net points out, Windows Mobile, Android, and Symbian weren't even included on the chart (does that mean the percentages were too low and unchanged to graph, Changewave?)
[Here's a bonus TiPb of the Iceberg for you this week, courtesy of the humongous news coming out of Apple's Quarterly Conference Call]
Tuesday's news that the iPhone has been selling well stupendously well, in case you weren't paying attention, was really big. It's tough to express how big. Some of the bullet points:
Now, there are caveats to these numbers: there was pent-up demand for the iPhone 3G so these numbers almost surely won't hold; RIM's sales were depressed because of delays releasing the BlackBerry Bold. Don't let these caveats mislead you, though, what Apple did with the iPhone 3G in the past three months is unprecedented in the mobile industry, it was pretty much unprecedented in any industry.
After claiming 27% of US smartphone market share in the last quarter of 2007, the iPhone has slipped to 20% for the first quarter of 2008. Where have all the iPhone buyers gone? Apparently to RIM and Palm (why!) who saw their market share increase in the same period. For Palm, the gains can be credited to the rise in popularity of the Centro and for RIM, well no one doubts their powerhouse status around these parts.
We've heard it before, Google has an iPhone fixation. Well it's looking like that fixation works both ways - apparently the earlier numbers we saw that said the iPhone was on the web more than any other mobile web browser were, how shall we say it? ....Ridiculously conservative.
Google sees 50 times more web searches from iPhones than they do from any other mobile browser:
We're looking at just over 6 months of sales and the iPhone is rocking the marketshare in the Smartphone category like you wouldn't believe. According to Canalys (whose numbers we've admittedly doubted before, but these results look pretty solid), the iPhone has reached 28% marketshare among Smartphones in the US and 7% worldwide. That puts it at #2 in the US and #3 worldwide. They're even ahead of Motorola.

Greetings of Christ's Peace and Joy! Hope you all had a blessed week. Parish Report for the 6 Months Ending 12/31/14 Included in this bulletin are a few highlights and the written financial report for the 6 months ending Dec.31, 2014. Nick Andriacchi will be speaking at Masses this weekend on this report. Highlights of the 6-month financial result:
Looking forward, we will continue to intentionally work on The New Evangelization. The upcoming Parish Transformation program offers us a wonderful opportunity to refocus our efforts on this. I invite and challenge each one of you to be involved in this extraordinary mission given to us by our Savior. With your active participation, together, we can make our parish a truly welcoming and nourishing community of faith. THANK YOU! May God bless you abundantly. Peace~ Fr. Francis Parish Vision To be Jesus Christ in Chinatown Values Love, Faith, Community, Diversity, Ministry, Charity, Commitment, Growth "The disciple simply burns his boats and goes ahead. He is called out… The old life is left behind, and completely surrendered. The disciple is dragged out of his relative security into a life of absolute insecurity… out of the realm of the finite… into the realm of infinite possibilities." Prayer to Holy Family
+ ******* Faith and Charity *******
In his Holiness, Benedict XVI's Lenten message: "The celebration of Lent, in the context of the Year of Faith, offers us a valuable opportunity to meditate on the relationship between faith and charity … The Christian life consists in continuously scaling the mountain to meet God and then coming back down, bearing the love and strength drawn from him, so as to serve our brothers and sisters with God's own love … In the Church, contemplation and action, symbolized in some way by the Gospel figures of Mary and Martha, have to coexist and complement each other."
Please join us, as a faith community, to set aside an hour once a month, to offer it in silent meditation before the Blessed Sacrament, and to pray together— the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.
The fruit of Silence is prayer. The fruit of Prayer is faith. The fruit of Faith is love. The fruit of Love is service. The fruit of Service is peace. ~Mother Teresa +

Please pray for the success of this program. + Lenten Regulations
(from February 18, 2015, Ash Wednesday, to the Paschal Triduum) Lent is ordered to preparing for the celebration of Easter, since the Lenten liturgy prepares for celebration of the Paschal Mystery both catechumens, by the various stages of Christian Initiation, and the faithful, who recall their own Baptism and do penance." (Universal Norms on the Liturgical Year, #27) By the threefold discipline of fasting, almsgiving and prayer the church keeps Lent from Ash Wednesday until the evening of Holy Thursday. All of the faithful and the catechumens should undertake the serious practice of these three traditions. Failure to observe penitential days totally or a substantial number of such days must be considered serious. "(On) weekdays of Lent, we strongly recommend participation in daily Mass and self-imposed observances of fasting. In light of grave human needs which weigh on the Christian conscience in all seasons, we urge particularly during Lent, generosity to local, national and world programs of sharing of all things needed to translate our duty to penance into a means of implementing the right of the poor to their part of our abundance." (U.S. Bishops statement on penitential observances, 1966.) + Invitation to Participate in a National Pastoral Plan Survey by USCCB
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops invites input from Asian and Pacific Island Catholics and those who serve in ministry to them!

As you review the mailing from Archbishop Cupich, please note the ministries and services funded by the Appeal, including the ones that directly support the work of our parish. Then please give generously. Note that when our parish reaches its goal of $____8,816.28__________ in paid pledges, 100% of the additional funds received will be returned to us for use in our parish. + Offering Envelopes 2015

+ From Sr. Caritas…. + Humility
As we labor for the spread of love and the protection of life, late Rafael Cardinal Merry Del Val's Litany of Humility can be our daily recitation: "O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, from the desire of being esteemed, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being loved, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being extolled, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being honored, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being praised, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being preferred to others, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being consulted, deliver me, Jesus; from the desire of being approved, deliver me, Jesus. From the fear of being humiliated, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of being despised, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of suffering rebukes, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of being calumniated, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of being forgotten, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of being ridiculed, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of being wronged, deliver me, Jesus; from the fear of being suspected, deliver me, Jesus. That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be chosen and I set aside, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be praised and I unnoticed, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be preferred to me in everything, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it." + 'CLASSES FOR YOUNG CHILDREN'
after the 9:30am Mass for children 3-4- or 5 years of age. Meet Sister Caritas in the back of Church. All children are welcome and parents are also welcome! + Pope Francis on Family
On his visitation to Rio de Janeiro for World Youth Day XXVIII, he chastised a world civilization for making money into a god and its dismissive attitude toward the elderly: "You could easily think there is a kind of hidden euthanasia, that is, we don't take care of the elderly; but there is also a cultural euthanasia, because we don't allow them to speak, we don't allow them to act." Hours before, noting it was the Feast of Joachim and Anne, Mary's parents, and Grandparent's Day, the Pope catechized: "How important grandparents are for family life, for passing on the human and religious heritage which is so essential for each and every society! How important it is to have intergenerational exchanges and dialogue, especially within the context of the family." When nations are busy deconstructing the family, enacting euthanasia laws and promoting euthanasia sentiments, viewing the elderly as "unproductive" burdens, rejecting religious values treasured by the elderly as suitable foundations for societal norms, lynching conscience rights, and, ultimately, depriving citizens of wisdom which knows how ruinous these godless currents are, the Pope rightly exhorts the elderly "not cease to be the cultural storehouse of our people, a storehouse that hands on justice, hands on history, hands on values, hands on the memory of the people." Marriage Issues – You probably have heard of the Supreme Court decision on Defense of Marriage Act. It is only the beginning. Brian Burch of catholicvote.org describes: "the Court invalidated a portion of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and rejected the right of the people to defend a law passed by millions of citizens in California. The Court ducked the question of whether Proposition 8 in California is constitutional – and most importantly, did not create a constitutional right to same-sex marriage." Larry O' Neill author of the "Catholic Vote" states: "Both these are limited court rulings … not Roe vs. Wade type decrees that effect the whole country. In fact …The Prop 8 decision does not even address the merits of the case for or against marriage." In a scathing dissent, Justice Antonin Scalia said: "The majority concludes that the only motive for this Act was the 'bare ... desire to harm a politically unpopular group.' Ante, at 20. Bear in mind that the object of this condemnation is not the legislature of some once-Confederate Southern state…but our respected coordinate branches, the Congress and Presidency of the United States. Laying such a charge against them should require the most extraordinary evidence, and I would have thought that every attempt would be made to indulge a more anodyne explanation for the statute."

If you would like your family to participate in the March, 2015 planning Mass, please contact Sr. Caritas. + Public Parking Meters—FREE on Sundays
If you need a place to park on Sundays, take advantage—the parking meters are free! + The Women's Center News
We are happy to pass on your used baby equipment to mothers who cannot afford to buy it. Our need is great because we have two distribution centers. We have a great need for 6 strollers, 3 double strollers, 3 bassinets, 4 bouncers, 6 pack n plays, 2 high chairs, 3 changing tables, 2 wheeled walkers and 6 infant car seats. It will be a great help if you can deliver these to us. For our address, or if a pick-up by a volunteer is needed, please call 773-794-1313. Diapers in sizes 1, 4, 5 and 6 are urgently needed. We also need gently used winter coats for all ages, boys winter clothing for ages 18 months and older and girls clothing for ages 18 months through 24 months. These must be delivered to us unless accompanied by baby furniture. The families who receive these things are grateful for your generosity. Call 773-794-1313 for our address. Please consider hosting a diaper drive or shower as a Confirmation project, for Scouts, service hours, etc. For information call Jackie at 773-794-8807 or email email@example.com. + Bulletin Ads Wanted Placing ads in our church bulletin is a very cost effective way for businesses to reach potential customers. It is also a great way to support St. Therese. The ads run 365 days a year at very low cost. If you know of any business that can benefit from this reach, please refer them to the church office (312-842-6777). Thanks for your help! + Respect Life News The Hype – On the controversy over Pope Francis' so-called softening on the gay issue, the Archdiocese Respect Life Office Director Margie Breen comments, "… if the media had covered Jesus' interaction with the Samaritan woman at the well ..., they probably would have said that Jesus softened his stance on the sins of adultery and fornication. I don't think that they understand that with Catholic teaching comes a pastoral component, calling believers to meet people where they are at. We are supposed to walk with folks on their faith journey as others have walked with us. Remember, we are all sinners in need of God's mercy." has resources to serve teens, women and their families facing unplanned pregnancies. We're here to help, without pressuring you.

If you need a Catholic version of the Bible, please pick up a copy after mass today. + Conversational English We are still offering conversational English classes four times a week and are now accepting new students for the Spring sessions. If interested, please sign up at the church entrance table. Schedules can be worked out with the instructors. + Ministry of Care We need Ministers of Care to bring the Eucharist to hospitalized and homebound parishioners. If you are trained or would like to be trained in this Ministry, please contact Fr. Li or Sr. Caritas. + ST. THERESE CHURCH WANTS TO HELP! Do you come to church only on Easter and Christmas? Or not at all? Are you facing a life altering event: getting married, having a baby, having lost or in the process of losing a loved one, or dealing with a health diagnosis that is frightening? These are situations that need to be faced, either enjoyed and cherished or met with strength and action. Maybe it is time to go back to your roots as a Catholic to help you deal with these life altering situations. St. Therese Chinese Catholic Church is a Landings parish. Landings was started by Paulist Fathers to help non-practicing Catholics explore their faith and return to the Church in a nonthreatening way. It is a way to share, to be heard and to listen to faith journeys of a group of inactive and active Catholics. All this is conducted with compassionate listening and utmost confidentiality. If you are ready to consider returning to the Church, we are here to give you a helping hand and ensure your safe landing! Our spring sessions of 1½ hours a week for 8 to 10 weeks will start on Thursday, May 17th at 6:30pm in the St. Francis Assisi room at our church, located at 218 W. Alexander St., Chicago IL 60616. We offer sessions in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. For more information please contact either Sr. Anji Fan or Cita Orendain at our parish office: 312-842-6777 or email us at: email@example.com. If you know of inactive Catholics, please pass this on to them. Landingswas created more than 20 years ago by the late Fr. Jac Campbell, a Paulist priest. He designed it for lay active Catholics to welcome, or "love back" inactive Catholics to the church. It was founded on the belief that we do not have to be trained theologians to share what we believe and to speak honestly about our faith, trusting in the Holy Spirit (from Landings International website). Since it started, over 1.5 million Catholics have returned to the Church through Landings. Landings is the time for someone who has been away from the Church to explore his/her faith and future within the Church. It is a gentle way to connect with lay people who are steadfast in their faith and who practice it. Questions from the inactive Catholic are welcome and will be answered in light of an active Catholic's faith experience with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Questions that require deeper theological knowledge will be referred to the pastor. There is a facilitator, a time keeper, a prayer leader and someone to bring the refreshments. A Participant's Journal is given to each participant in the first Landings session. Each participant is asked to read it carefully, a few days before each session. The Journal gives the full schedule of a Landings meeting. It also has 8 to 10 Catholic themes, 1 for each meeting, with references, to help participants understand and reflect on Church teachings and on how the faith is practiced. Please bear in mind that Landings is not a counseling session or group therapy. It is simply a way for inactive Catholics to discern if coming back to the church is for him/her by listening, sharing and asking questions of active Catholics who are committed to loving them back to the Church. + The Respect Life News
+ The United States Council of Catholic Bishops Postcard Campaign The St. Therese Respect Life Ministry is participating in this campaign to (1) Prevent federal funding and promotion of abortion and (2) Protect rights of conscience in health care. + Family: The Foundation of Society "I was a stranger and you welcomed me."

Strive to see God in all things without exception, and consent to His will joyously. Do everything for God, uniting yourself to him in word and deed.

Seamless Positioning and Navigation by Using Geo-Referenced Images and Multi-Sensor Data
Received: 3 May 2013 / Revised: 13 June 2013 / Accepted: 7 July 2013 / Published: 12 July 2013
(This article belongs to the Section Remote Sensors)
Abstract: Ubiquitous positioning is considered to be a highly demanding application for today's Location-Based Services (LBS). While satellite-based navigation has achieved great advances in the past few decades, positioning and navigation in indoor scenarios and deep urban areas has remained a challenging topic of substantial research interest. Various strategies have been adopted to fill this gap, within which vision-based methods have attracted growing attention due to the widespread use of cameras on mobile devices. However, current vision-based methods using image processing have yet to revealed their full potential for navigation applications and are insufficient in many aspects. Therefore in this paper, we present a hybrid image-based positioning system that is intended to provide seamless position solution in six degrees of freedom (6DoF) for location-based services in both outdoor and indoor environments. It mainly uses visual sensor input to match with geo-referenced images for image-based positioning resolution, and also takes advantage of multiple onboard sensors, including the built-in GPS receiver and digital compass to assist visual methods. Experiments demonstrate that such a system can greatly improve the position accuracy for areas where the GPS signal is negatively affected (such as in urban canyons), and it also provides excellent position accuracy for indoor environments.

Half Marathon #5 - completed
View STEPHM-ARATHON's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from STEPHM-ARATHON
Monday, April 16, 2012
I ran my fifth half marathon on Saturday. It did not go well and I just took it for what it was. I was not going into it under ideal conditions. I've had worse races and I've had better races. I did what I could and was glad to cross the finish line and get a medal.
I had these factors stacked against me:
-lack of training due to a surprise high risk pregnancy and miscarriage just two weeks before the race
-stomach problems and long bathroom lines...before the race even started
-muscle soreness from going to my first kickboxing session in 6 months just days before the race
-recent weight gain
-the weather was not ideal (not a biggie though)
Josh and I had planned to travel Friday night and stay at our friend's house near the race. However, due to storms we decided to wait for a better travel time so we ended up staying at my house and getting up at 3:30 AM to travel two hours, meet up with my friend, and drive another hour to the race. We got up and in the car, blasted some music, and were PUMPED. Two hours in the car later, spirits had gone down and the excitement had worn off.
We got to the race about half an hour early and hiked about half a mile down a hill, knowing that we'd have to hike back up it after the half. We were kind of in a panic because Anna lost her timing chip and we had to search the car. In the end, it had fallen out of her envelope at home. She went one way to see if they'd give her another, Josh went another way to line up at the back of the race. I went to stand at the end of the bathroom line...a good 50-75 people deep. By the time I was halfway through the line, I realized I was not going to make the start. But I also knew I could not run one step without going first. Not a good sign.
My best HM time is 2:17. My worst is 2:51. I'd intended to line up with a pace group somewhere in the middle of those times and hope for the best but I missed the pace groups. So I spent the first mile trying to catch my desired group. I eventually caught up to the 2:45 and settled there for a while. I first noticed that my muscles were screaming only 1-2 miles in, thanks to kickboxing. Every step hurt. Normally, I have stretches where things go really smoothly. I never really hit my stride in this race and I was a bit sad about that. I love when it feels good. I just accepted that this would not be one of those times. I did get a little ahead of the 2:45 and paced with the 2:40 and then the 2:35.
I stopped at the second bathroom on course and stood in another long line, wasting a good 7-10 minutes. I saw my friend Anna run by while I was in line. After I got out, I tried really hard to catch her but never recovered enough to push that hard. I was hoping we could finish the race together. I also lost my pace group.
Around the mid point, I started walking more than I was running. I told myself that running the first half and walking the second was better than walking the whole thing. And that walking the whole thing was better than not doing it at all. So therefore, I was doing pretty good. I imitated the speedwalkers I saw on course and had a lot of fun with that for a while. The last half was mostly downhill and that was helpful. I got a bit of a second wind around mile 11 from knowing I was that close to the finish, and took up running again in stretches.
I crossed the finish line at 2:50, beating my worst time by just one minute. I was simply happy to come in under 3 hours. Anna finished 8 minutes before me and we waited together for Josh to finish. He last texted me from mile 10. I asked for an update and he told me that he had no idea where he was because they'd already taken the signs down. I thought that was really sad that they would do that. I know they had to close the course, but I wish they'd at least have left the mile markers up. I asked at the finish line if they would continue to hand out medals, as there were many people still finishing past the official time limit. (They closed this one at 3:30). Luckily, they still handed out medals. I knew Josh really wanted one so I was going to steal or buy one if they stopped at 3:30.
I have to say, it was a lot of fun waiting at the finish. I cheered on those who finished after me and it was really inspiring to see these people who worked so hard for it cross the finish line. I had walked back down the course enough to know that they were having to run on the grass alongside the busy road. No sidewalks, rough terrain. And of course they had no idea where they were either, or how far they had left to run. They just had to trust that there was a finish at the end and push through it. I was really, really inspired by their effort.
I'm not sure when Josh finished, but I was proud when he did. I thought about running back to find him and finish with him, but I did not want to steal his moment.
I'm a little sore today, but not bad. I was more sore after kickboxing last week. We do this whole thing again in only a few days (Sunday). So bring on half marathon #6! May this one go much better than #5!

Even though this wasn't your best race, you are still talking about HM #6! I think that's a good sign!

Even though it wasn't your best race, it sounds like it was your best effort for that day, under the conditions. Hang in there. There will be more races and more accomplishments!
Report Inappropriate Comment
Good job pushing and still finishing and also putting things in perspective. Also glad that Josh was able to finish and get his medal! Now that you know what made this one more difficult, you'll know what to avoid to make #6 much smoother.

Great job in persevering in your race!

I'm glad that you made it. It was an experience for you, Anna and Josh. That was bad that they started taking down the mile markers, but at least he got his medal.
I hope that you continue to improve health wise. Don't push yourself too hard.

The Graphics are awful. Grass sprites and decals become visible just ahead of you making the landscape look rather dull and empty. Not much lighting going on either.. everything is evenly lit. There are no settings for AA/AS or anything other than Resolution, Texture size and Motion Blur. The races are boring and easy. You go straight most of the time and occasionally strafe around a long curve by tapping the handbreak. There is almost no oncoming traffic and no penalty when you hit a wall. I c...

Im very responsive , You're inquiries would be replied Instantly . im always online .
Adel Aka Damien has completed online and offline ID verification.
The host is tres agreable and sympa!! I really enjoyed this residence!!:)
Great apartment, which is not to far of main attractions , Although i did not meet Damien when i arrived , the apartment was clean and i was greeted by the cleaning lady Samira, Damien was an excellent host and came later during the week to say hello. I would' nt have any reservation in booking the place again and would definitely stay there
Adel arranged a driver from the airport and was already waiting at the studio. He took his time to answer all of my questions and replies to mails very quick, even if you have special requests. The apartment is a clean and comfortable place including WIFI, 25 minutes walk from the souk. a bar where you can have good wine is around the corner, as well as several shops and a liquor store. Make sure to bring some toilet paper with you and you will have a great place to stay in marrakech. Thanks, Adel!
This is a nice, modern apartment in an easily accessible and safe part of Marrakesh. Make sure to buy some basic amenities like toilet paper and soap because the apartment doesn't come stocked. I would definitely recommend this apartment, and I thank Adel for his help and hospitality.
The Apartment was not Adel's home - as I somehow expected, but it was still very nicely furnished and clean. Adel was absolutely helpful in every aspect: not only did he organise a transport from de Airport, but he also helped us with his contacts in Marrakech. Thank you!
We did find it difficult to locate the apartment initially but once there everything you need is on your doorstep.The apartment is a good size and was clean. It had everything we needed and is very centrel. 15 mins walk to the Medina for example. My only complaint was that the air con was not effective but it would go down to 24 degrees if left on constantly. Adel was helpful and responsive.
This is a great apartment for two or three people - it has everything you need! The location is good - especially if you are staying for a longer time and want to avoid the hubbub of the medina. Damien was super responsive and great.
Marrakech (Morocco in general) is a hectic place, especially if you're not from there. As the pictures suggest, this studio is nice and clean and a short walk from many great restaurants and cafes in the new part of Marrakech. Adel was a great help to us during out short stay. He kindly organised anything we needed and gave us great advice regarding what to do and see.
Adel was a great host, quickly answering all my questions before I arrived and providing me with key tips about Marrakesh. The Studio is very spacious, perfect for a few nights stay or longer, with a TV and WiFi. The décor is very nice and simple, and simply put I'd stay again and highly recommend staying here! Oz
Wonderful time spent in Marrakech and staying in this lovely apartment made the experience even more charming. The apartment is quiet spacious for a studio, well furnished and equipped with TV and wifi. It is ideally located in the heart of Marrakech making it at walking distance from the railway station and many other Marrakech landmarks. And last but not least, Adel is a very nice person and very welcoming, very true to the moroccan tradition of hospitality.
Damien was really great. The apartment was very clean and modern and in a great location. Very nice and relaxing to come home to after a long day of walking through the medina. The apartment is great for the price, and staying there was much better than staying in a hotel as many hotels here in Marrakech can be dodgy and disappointing.
