I am outta here!

OK folks, or should I say folk. "Folks" being plural meaning more than one person reads this. I am off to California, well actually tomorrow we are off for the D-land Halfer. We will spend a few days at the park meet up with family and race. I will give a full race report on Tues or Wednesday complete with pics and times. Until then loyal reader.

Long time no post

I am sorry to my reader for not posting, I am sure you have been waiting with high anticipation. So what has been going on. Well the runs have been OK, bad, and great. I attempted 13 miles and completely bonked around 7. Just goes to show not eating correctly will reap havoc on you running schedule. The next day off I completed the 13 miles plus. Eat to run people eat to run.
The Ipod caused it's usual headache, the Ipod Nike trainer just quit one day, then just quit again the next day. have noticed that if I pause my workout it reeks all kind of havoc on it from freeze ups to full on shut downs. So now I no longer pause my workouts. Now as for this Nike Ipod trainer while I do love this thing it is not the best one out their as a matter of fact is is not accurate at all. But it will give you a good judge of time and pace all over your head phones with the push of a button. On that note it has been the cause of most of my headaches. I guess I just love punishment that must be why I run hmmmm. Well next Monday is the Disneyland Half Marathon I am ready and a bit nervous, I ran this race last year and loved it. It was my first

half marathon and a great first. The race starts through the parks you get to run through the back areas of the park and see somethings you would otherwise never get to see. The rest is through Anaheim and you get to run on the Angels baseball field pretty cool. Then you end through the parks again. Alot of fun. So I will be posting a complete review of this race as soon as I get back. Until then

Wanna laugh

Go read some blogs these people are the biggest whiners of the face of the planet, Read them OOOOh I'm depressed, Oh My spouse won't have sex with me so I am going to cheat, Oh I'm fat, Fucking waaaaaah. Man up you bunch of bitches (or woman up as the case may) be Everyone of you has an excuse. The best part is as I have written about before is there are so many that will say it is OK. You can write about anything, debauchery, hedonism, being fat, being sick, being hooked on drugs or alcohol. and there is always someone to say oh that's OK it's not your fault. Everything is someone Else's fault, or societies fault. Well now you are gonna hear from me.

1. It is your fault. If your fat exercise and diet, if your depressed get pills, exercise get over it.

you can change it if you just would quit making up excuses.

2. Hooked on something easy answer quit. NO shut up it is not a disease, cancer is a disease,

you have an addiction so quit. if you really do not want to drink then don't if you want

to quit drugs quit. Don't come to me with your bullshit either. I quit smoking and chewing. I

am not saying it is easy because it is not but it is possible if you just will. I am sure all those

with cancer would love to "quit" cancer.

3. Pro Choice. I believe in Pro choice but it is a bit different the only choice you have is rather or

you chose to do it so you chose to get pregnant that was your choice now raise your child. OK

OK I will say in extreme cases those of rape incest or actual possibility of death to the mother

abortion be allowed but lets go over those rape and incest first if the these were the only

reasons for abortion the numbers would drop 99.9% and everyone knows it. Now for the

mother having the possibility of dying by being pregnant. Some one would have to explain to

me the chances of this and the reasons not is this day and age. But if you must discuss this

how many mothers or fathers out there would not die right now for there children. If you

cannot yes to this then you do not deserve to be a parent anyway. There is an old saying that

goes something like this "If you don't have anything Worth dying for, what do you really have

living for" remember it.

Now I know I have gotten off the true nature of this blog "running" well sorry but I needed to vent.

But if you must know I got in an awesome 5.5 miles last night during one of the boys football practices a great run with an average 8.5 miles pace

OK all now in the nature of this particular post

Fuck off

Crapple again

Another frozen Ipod. Luckily this time I was able to unfreeze and not lose all my music but I did lose all my workout data and I was about 3/4 done and had a pretty good hill coming up. OS I needed the music. I am still pretty pissed about the workout data a good 5 miles that will not be on the nike website. At least I had the music and I finished pretty strong. Oh well.

Nothing new going on boys are of course in football and at practice as we speak. my wife is jogging by the higg school so she can pick them up. Soooooo that is about it. I have a few days off of work and plan on hitting the road hard in prep for D-land half in 3 weeks. I am still confident on the sub 2 hour but we will see.
