Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (NIV) I am a Christian a Husband, a Father, and of course a Marathon runner. What more could anyone ask?

Happy Thanksgiving? maybe


I know I will not be able to post tomorrow so I want to wish you all the Happiest Thanksgiving ever and I truly hope all of you have plenty to be thankful for. My day as I have just been informed will be spent with my inlaws. Which will require tolerance and those of you who kow me know that I am not a carrier of tolerance. So it raise these level it will require beer or something more alcoholic. I do love My wifes parents but they are best taken in small doses. Thanksgiving is not a small dose. I will do my best to be nice for the sake of my families holiday. I ahve also been told that my Sister in Law may be attending now this creates a problem. She is by far the most selfish person I have ever met and My in laws seem to forget my wife exist whenever she is around. If she brings her bratty kids I can assure you 2 things will happen 1. something will be broken 2. my wifes parents will also forget that my children exist. But don't worry yourself I will introduce them to the door should this happen. So my Thanksgiving is already over as far as I am concerned. I will spend most of the day with my remote and a several MGDs.


be safe all

Direct TV


I switched from cable to Direct TV. First this requires patience second this requires tolerance of stupidity I have neither of those qualities so it was a long day. let me start at the beginning. I called up Direct TV to see about saving some money. It is cheaper than cable. I talked to a woman who I advised her I wanted to switch but I needed to have the network channels, she advised me they could not do it without sending a waiver. OK no thank you I said and everyone was happy. 2 days later I get a call from of course Direct TV asking me if I was still interested, I said I was but I want all the network channels with no waiver if they could not do that don't bother. So she said they could no problems I am sure she was getting sick of me because I kept asking "are you sure I get all the network channels" she said for the umpteenth time yes. SO ok come and install it. A few days later the tech shows up with out all the equipment I advised him I am supposed to have all this stuff HD, DVR etc. he says it not on his work order and makes a few phone calls they agree to go ahead and put it in ( I should have seen the problems coming right then) So about 4 hours later he has installed a huge CD dish and put in all the receivers. gets everything in line turns it on and nothing just a message saying programming needed. He asks me if I had asked for any programming, I informed him of what was requested ( I should say I picked there best and most expensive package) well they have no record of this, I am also told that they cannot give me the network channels as promised and there is nothing there that says it so I can have CBS and NBC and that is it. I think about it a bit argue with the lady and they finally submit to 2 years of NFL season pass so I say OK and agree they submit the waivers and we move on. As we are checking out the channels I tell her several times NBC HD is not working she says it may an hour or so. So yup you guessed it I waited a few days and called I was informed they have to submit a waiver for that channel. I asked to speak to a manager or supervisor was put on hold and then told no supervisors would pick up and to leave my number that they would call me back. No call back in 2 days. So needless to say I am pissed. I am stuck with this contract for 2 years and get nothing but lies. I will update you as this goes on.


If I can't get back on here I want to wish everyone the Happiest of Thanksgivings


Be safe

Another half another PR


Yesterday was the Run for hunger Half Marathon, it wa sput on by a local church and I have to say was actually very well done. Only about 150 peole showed up but that was ok. It was about 60 degrees when we started and around 70 when we finished. We started the race off raod which I did not like it was a very unimproved road. At about mile 4 a lady ran up to me and just started running with me which was ok we just ran together no need to talk or converse in any way just an unspoken thing to keep up and stay together I even shared a Gu with her well not sheared I gave her a Gu A roctane to be exact. We stayed together for about 4 miles until we hit the hills where she said goodbye as she could not keep up it was a pretty good grade but I love hills so I took off. At the end I new I ahd a PR coming and I was happy but all of a sudden I saw a small cone (this was how they were marking miles) I new I had not seen one for mile 12 this meant I was actually way off and woud not get my new record but alas it was an arrow to turn I had it 1 hour 55 minutes and some change. (I am unclear of the exact time it has not been posted) I am using the stopwatch on my IPOD. So needless to say I was happy Under 2 on a half was onr time thought to be impossible now I have done it. I geuss all that marathon training really does help. next we shoot for a 1 45 half and the under 4 on the full. As i said I was quite suprised that this run was ran as well as it was being put on by a small church in my small town. Now as for this church I do not attend the reason are quite simple I do beleive pastors of a church should get paid but they do not need to drive His and her mercedes and live in a gated community, also the billboards for the church really should not have to huge pics of the Husband and wife pastor team. But hey I was there run and get a PR which I did. I do have to admit it was nice to just go home after a race instead of a Hotel.
ok that is it for now
be safe

Much calmer now


It took a while but I have calmed down. I would like to say that we have just elected a very liberal Democratic president and a very liberal house and senate. Well the excuses are gone I for one will be sitting here a year from now laughing as we will still be in recession we will still be in a huge financial crisis and they will still be trying to blame the Republicans. But mark my words folks it will be scary We will be very unsafe as a country and individually Enough said, So I have another race this weekend only a half marathon but 13 miles is nothing to scoff at. I will let you know how it goes. Nothing new really going on here well I guess that switching from from cable to direct tv is news and it has a story but that is a blog for tomorrow. So be safe

If I may just say

Americans are the stupidist people. By your voting in That person just shows all you have to do is get a bright and shiny object wave it in your stupid faces and you are sold. No matter what the repercussions of that you bunch of fuckin idiots. Now watch as the country goes into deeper shit, as our safety is gone you will all then sit around saying don't blame me I didn't vote for him.
Again morons

Pissed



So I get up at 5 am get showered dressed all the morning necessities taking care fo so i acan be at the voting booth by 6 am when they open. I am greeted with a line of at least 200 hundred people with 12 booths. So I figure I have time I wait. Now why am I pissed well from the conversations around me roghly 90% of the people there did not have to be there, I heard alot of Moms who were discussing there day of taking the kids to the sitters so they could go shopping and wanted to get there voting "out of the way" alot of SnowBirds (retired folks from colder areas who migrate here every summer) very few of un were there who had to get to work. So of course there were alot of people myself included who just had to leave, I had to get to work SO allthese selfish pigs could vote. Well thanks assholes. Oh if only steemrolling morons was legal. maybe they should have some kind of thing so people who need to get to work could have a seperate line or some sort of front of the line pass. Oh I am sure some Obama lover would wine about that. Oh and on that if Obama wins (which he prob will) I give this country 3 years before we are no better than france a bunch of fuckin pussies who would rather lie down and fuck then face any problems. Now don't get me wrong I am all for Lying down and fucking but sometimes works had to get done. If he wins mark my words we will have surrendered in Iraq, Afginistan, and will be attacked again but this time with no repercussion to the attackers only love our enemies speaches. So go ahead idiots make the worst mistake this country has made ever.
You bunch of assholes.

Step off soapbox

Ok be safe

Blogging

I am unsure about my post as of late. I feel like I am forcing this blog and that makes for 1. bad post 2. boring post. So while I am not going to stop, I am only going to write when I have something to write about. So expect a post every couple of days hopefuly something "unboring" .
So since I am already here I thought I would discuss the Ragnar Relay This as a few of you know is a 187 mile relay with a team of 12 people. I am quite excited about this. We have a team of all Firefighters so it my get weird. I am obvisously a lover of punishment because I have taken on the role of team captain. This means 1 no sleep I have to be with all groups 2 running one of the longer legs. I am not complaining I am actually very excited. I also found out some even better news I have been given the honor of pacing at Western States 100. Now this is one of my dream runs and I plan on racing it myself hopefully in a few years. But to pace wow. Actually I am pacing 2 people my Badwater Friend and her main man. Now her "main man" this guy is a veteran of over 40 100+ races and a finisher of western states 15 times. So hopefully I can keep up. Not much else going on. The kids look in a good loot for halloween and I ahve already gone through it and taken out my faves luckily my faves don't really interfere with theirs.

Be safe everyone
