Three of my four classes this semester are now complete! I can’t believe how fast this semester flew by. All that I have remaining is a final in tax law on December 11th. I’m also doing research assistant work for the Venture Capital Course offered next semester so I will still be busy the next…

Thanksgiving Weekend
The annual thanksgiving dinner at my brother-in-law’s parents house was awesome as usual. I was definitely stuffed with some excellent food! It was nice to see everybody as well. The mini-vacation has been very chill around here with exercise and some reading/writing for class. I ran yesterday and felt pretty good except for section in…
Felt crappy, but…
Yesterday I hit Los Alto Hills for the Elena Loop. I felt incredibly crappy to start with basically everything feeling out of sync. However, the weather was incredible with perfect temps and clear skies so I couldn’t resist. Somehow I got into a great rhythm and a fast pace naturally unfolded. The run ended up…
Doesn’t feel like November…
The weather here is ridiculously nice for late November with temps in the mid 60s and sunshine every single day! Furthermore, the weather forecast for the next 10+ days holds the strong west coast ridge of high pressure in place (a “blocking pattern”). This translates into more tranquil weather with sunny days and crisp nights/mornings….
Finally a run
With my foot finally feeling better, I went out on a run today around campus and vicinity. The run was 50 minutes long – between 7.5 to 8 miles. I felt pretty awkward early on having not run for two weeks, but I got more comfortable as the run progressed. I am still going to…
Records for Ita Pantilat!!!
I am proud to report that my mom had an awesome day of power lifting today (Thursday) at the WABDL world championships in Anaheim, CA. First, she broke the open womens (all age groups!) record for her weight class (108-114 pound class) by benching 225.7 pounds. This shattered her personal record at this weight class…
Running Hiatus
Sorry for the lack of updates. There hasn’t been much going on around here… About two weeks after initially feeling something weird in my foot (and subsequently stopping the running), I can report that there is definite improvement. I now rarely feel the pain while walking, which is specifically located on the bottom of my…
Law and Business Society Speaker
On Tuesday we had the second speaker for the Law and Business Society. We were extremely fortunate to have Professor Grundfest speak, who is an amazing lecturer and teacher of two excellent courses at the law school (capital markets/securities regulation and venture capital). We had a great turnout and the students enjoyed the talk, which…
Great Arnold Clip
Such a great clip! Arnold tells it! I saw American Gangster with Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe yesterday. The actors’ performances were great and I thought it was a good movie. Otherwise, it’s basically business as usual around here. I am recovering from the small sickness and I had some good runs this week, but…
