let that prove an end to excuses why we can't...and a start of the reasoning behind why we can.

Half Marathon

I am going to commit to a real, honest to God race….
Half marathon in Sacto on Sunday, Oct 7th.

Where I am right now….can prob go 6 miles MAX. last runs were a total of 3 miles over the past couple weeks!!!!

Can I do it?

I know I can….will I do it is the only Q.


I need a goal…something to strive for. I can’t help but feel like running…really running is the only way to a good eating plan. If you run, you have to care about what you eat. Lifting weights too, but you can put on a lot of weight when lifting, not with running. And I don’t want a lot of weight.

I will keep up with weights, not shooting for any records, just pushing it hard 2-3x per week to keep my muscles moving in the right direction…but my emphasis will be running. I’d like to have a checkmark next to “ran a marathon” before I die.

Plus I feel like this will commit me to a great longevity program…eating right and really caring for my body as I head into my 40’s.



Today is the 176th day of the year…I’ve ran a total of 75 miles so far this year (avg of .42 miles per day, or less than 3 (2.94) per week! …not so great). That has to grow big time if I’m going to run 13 miles in one morning.

How to enjoy MLB Baseball

1. Tape a good game ("game of the week/month/whatever" -look for a game with announcers you like) on DVR during the week sometime.
2. when it's "game time" (and by that I mean when YOU want to enjoy said game), put an ice cold beer glass in freezer.
3. turn on the game, pour yourself a great beer, and take a deep breath and enjoy (blow through comercials so as not to destroy the wonderful tempo and conversation that is a great game.
