Marathon Training

I just got done running the longest distance I have ever run: 15 miles. I literally just ran for 2 1/2 hours of my life. And to think… I still have 11 more miles to go when I run the marathon in January. WHY AM I DOING THIS AGAIN????

I tried to sit down once I got home and my body didn’t know how to bend to get into position. My legs want to be permanently stuck in a runners stance. I don’t even want to think about what they’re going to feel like tomorrow!

But it does feel good to finish and to know that I’ve been disciplined enough to get this far. I just need some prayer to keep me going for two more months.

Matt Chandler has helped me get through most of my runs. If you haven’t listened to his podcasts, make sure you search for him on Itunes. He needs to start preaching some more though, because I’m running out of messages to listen to. I get through around 4 sermons in 15 miles.

And another good thing about finishing 15 miles… I now get to consume an extra 1500 calories to make up for it. Any food suggestions?

Pure Jubilation!

The Wildcats did it! While in a tough 3rd overtime pinch against the #1 undefeated team in the nation, LSU, Kentucky showed how tough they truly are. They stopped LSU on 4th and 2 to secure one of the best football victories ever! I just started running around the house screaming… I have no voice left and I’m completely spent but have never been more proud to be a Wildcat. Go Cats! Rich Brooks looks pretty happy too… and all the crazy fans in the background that are rushing the field.

But LSU looks very sad…

The nice people found in South Florida

I was pulling out of Abacoa headed back home when I saw a little boy around age 9 coming home from school on his bike. I braked and waved him on by. While he was looking at me getting the okay to go, a lady was beginning her turn onto the same street I was pulling out from.

She had to brake to miss hitting the little boy on the bike. Instead of nicely waving him on by, the lady threw her hands up in the air, rolled down her windom and yelled a**hole at the little boy. I am not even lying.
