Poor? Arthur Blank?

Its hard to feel bad for a guy with a couple billion dollars in Home Depot fortune but the Michael Vick fallout continues and Petrino is out. Mr. Blank seems like a such a kind man for a gozillionaire and it just seems like his football team is going out of its way to break his heart. Luckily for him he is an "avid runner" who logs 20 miles a week. For me the opportunity to get out and put in some miles and not think about anything but what I've been reading in my Bible and one foot in front of the other is real pleasure. I don't know if Mr. Blank is Christian but for me personally thats where its at. Peace.

Even the head coach of my beloved Dolphins who is 0-13 has not given up. And Huizenga does not seem near as dedicated to the phish as Blank is to the Falcons. Arthur how bout you make a bid for the Dolphins last I checked Home Depot was worth about $8 a share more than Blockbuster.

Clermont after a 2 year hiatus - for real this time

Ironman? Iron distance? I don't care what you call it on that cool October night in 2005 I did it in fourteen hours and twelve minutes. I have the pictures to prove it. 6 months after that race I went to participate in a Sommer Sports race the same day as the daylight saving time I was an hour late I got a speeding ticket and a half mile into an Oly-distance my chain broke. This by the way was also at the height of my divorce. That was in April of 2006 and my only DNF. Two years and 12,000 excuses later and I finally got a chance to go back out to Clermont to train for long distance triathlon. Went with my buddy Jose very slow pace just out riding the hills 4 hours and 60 miles later and my legs was butta. Have the pictures to prove that too.

Signed up for St. Anthony's AGAIN gotta get ready. Of course two days after I signed up I started noticing that that irritation in my hamstring and butt are still acting up. My amateur diagnosis is piriformis. Im hoping this doesn't end up same deal as the knee and hanging out for a while.

Runners High



Sweet for the first time in a loooooong time I actually experienced a couple of short but blissful runners highs tonight. Short 45 minute very slow paced run but for a good 5 minute span on two different portions I had that feeling like I can run forever. I know its minimal but I can feel it.....only problems going on right now is my right hamstring is really tight. I don't know what the deal is but I can feel it right up to my butt.

Only slightly more amusing while I was looking for an image to go along with this post I came across this Japanese rock group. Not really my style. Don't understand a word. Funny.
