Sunday Morning...First Run Outside

Sunday morning was the first time I ran outside in a really long time.
I was pretty nervous. I guess I get self consise about how I look
while running in the streets of my city. Anyway, with the support of
my wife, she started the clock and I was off. 27 minutes later I
finished my 2.8 miles. I was pretty happy with that result. I have
been working pretty hard and look forward to my race on 6/20/09. I am
hoping that I can further improve on that time and make a decent
showing.

Saturday Night

So I built a fire for my son and pitched a tent this evening. My son and I are going to be sleeping outside in our tent. Had some pizza and some marshmallows. Should be a real great time! I love it!

First 5k Run

So I decided to finally do it! After much consideration and putting
it off, I have decided to participate in my first 5k run
http://www.ohiocity.com/index.cgi?id=131&l=2&p=5700 I suppose I should
be pretty excited but I think I am more nervous that anything else. I
was running pretty well in the beginning of the year, about 4 miles in
40 minutes. I sorta reached a peak and have relaxed a bit. I am now
back up to about 2.5 miles with just over a week till race time. I
know I can do it...even if I walk the entire race.

I'll be posting news before and after the race if I dont pass out.

What? Another Post?

Two posts in one day? How does that happen? Currently on a month
break from school. Starting back July 6th. I need the break. Only 3
more classes to go.

Been a really long time

I have been super busy the last few months. Trying to finish school and my kids are growing up so fast. I wanted to touch base. I hope to be doing this more often.

Different Day Today

Today is September 11 2008, do you remember where you were in 2001? I do, I was driving back from the vet with my dog, not really understanding the magnitude of what transpired. I can remember being glued to the TV for the next 3 days. Every channel had non-stop coverage of the clean up and recovery efforts. ... I don't think that I will ever forget that day. I remember seeing some of the horrific pictures.



I could probably talk about that topic all day long....

On a brighter note, my son started his first day of pre-school. He called me when he got home and said that he had a great time! Kids do grow up super fast. I have another super busy day at work and I have school this evening (Accounting barf). I can't wait

Labor Day

Well I had a decent Labor day weekend. I sat amongst friends and family the whole weekend. Of course no holiday weekend would complete with out a few adult beverages. Friday, I went to an Oktoberfest with the fam and had a really good time. They had a great beer tasting contest (Oktoberfest beer of course). On Monday, had all of my siblings and parent over at the ponderosa. I grilled up some chicken and served up some of my home brew. I think I had a little too much because clean up took a really long time. However, I did sleep pretty good. Its funny cause I think I always sleep better after have a few adult beverages.

I think I may have mentioned before that I am back in school. Hopefully will have my MBA completed by December 2009. Anyway, I am taking Accounting (managerial) and I think that I officially can not stand it. I just can't seem to grasp these concepts. I tend to struggle. I just had to blog that in the event you dont hear from me its cause I got tired of Accounting and moved to Fiji....
