Mike Huckabee…Chuck Norris Approved

You know, I’m still on the fence about who I’m gonna vote for. I really like Ron Paul, but Huckabee has a lot of momentum going into the Primaries. Ideally, I would love to see a Huckabee/Paul ticket come next November. I saw this clip and was almost rolling in...

Kids say the darnedest things

The other day we were amazed at what our little bundle of joy said. I’ll go ahead and say that it wasn’t anything dirty or disrespectful, just funny. Let me set the scene: We are all in the living room. Me at the computer (my usual perch), Iliana at her...

Gettin’ ready

Well, just a little less than a week to go. We leave for Chicago later this week. It still hasn’t sank in yet that I’m running a marathon. Weird. Anyway, I haven’t posted anything in a while so I wanted everyone to know that I’m still here.

20 miles! I’m done!

Well, I didn’t get a chance to post last week, but I did 18 miles. It’s basically the same route as this week but instead of turning left at mile 16, I turned right and ran 2 miles home. This week was a milestone in my training. That being that...

Running again

Well, I had to take a little time off from running. After my 14 mile run, I think I hurt myself a little. I didn’t think much of it at the time and went ahead and ran my 10 miles the following weekend. I couldn’t move for the rest of...

12 mile run

Went for my long run yesterday. It was pretty hot. I checked the weather before I ran and it said the humidity was at 90%. I don’t know how accurate that was, but by the time I hit 10.5 miles, I was daydreaming about running through sprinklers. At about 11.5,...

New Site

Nick showed me a new site called MapMyRun.com that lets you map out your runs, track your training, and other various features. I just got a newsletter from them and the also have MapMyTri.com, which is a lot more suited for me. The great thing about both these sites is...

GET A FREE IPOD!

Okay, we’ve all seen the emails or the ads on hundreds of sites trying to give away free stuff for iPods to Xboxes and everything in between. Well, I have it on pretty good authority that this actually works. I was listening to a podcast yesterday of a couple of...
