It’s that time again! LOL Last year was a great year all around for me, except in the fitness arena. It seems I have yet to figure out how to make exercise a daily part of my life. I know it’s important. I know I enjoy it once I get past the first month of […]
So it’s no secret I’m a Disney fan. Seven years ago one of the biggest motivators in my even considering a half marathon was a newspaper ad announcing the Inaugural Disneyland Half Marathon. The medal was so shiny: I was way too scared/lazy/out of shape to even make an attempt at that first event. In […]
Tonight, I start bootcamp. I’ll bitch about that tomorrow. Today, I officially registered for the Little Rock Half Marathon. This will be my second half. And I’m excited. Here’s a couple of pics of me and my crew when we did the half a few years ago. (The very same half marathon that prompted the […]
Yesterday after over a month of phone tag, HZ and I managed to actually have a conversation. For the first time in over a year. Okay it was more like a year and a half. And do you know what a year and a half means? Well in our case it started out with “how […]
I know, I know I should have hung this on the wall before I took the picture. Sadly, I have to paint first and that isn’t getting done until March at the earliest and I already felt like enough of a blog slacker. This is my running medal collection from Feb 2009 (Surf City Half […]
Good news: I came in second in my age group today for my half marathon Bad news: They missed the second digit on my age and put me in as age 3 Really bad news: I can’t even come in first in the 1-8 age division.

I have to say there are very few things in this world more extraordinary then starting a race […]

Want to know where I was Sunday, May 30th? Lets try this word association-style. OJ Simpson White Bronco … Why YES! I was in Brentwood, California whose residents have spent the last 16 years rolling in wealth and trying to live down their notorious former neighbor. (It has been 16 years how scary is that?) For […]
Today I spent an hour and some change watching the Lakers play the Celtics at the gym. I’d gone there with the intention of doing four miles (maybe six) and walked in during the 3rd quarter of the game. Now, the fact that I didn’t know the Lakers were playing tonight should probably tell you […]
I promised awhile ago that I would post my training calendar. It’s basically Hal Higdon’s Novice Supreme Marathon Training Schedule. I had to modify it slightly (mostly I shortened it) to fit my schedule. You can find mine HERE. Please note it’s an Excel spreadsheet that downloads. This way you can grab it and tailor it to you if you […]
