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?

OK Seriously What the fuck!!!


Several What the fuck issues today so hang on to yourself cause here we go......
First the Air Conditioner in my house took a huge dump on Mon, luckily it is not to hot yet
so the house was at least bearable for the last couple of days and It was finally fixed this morn. the WTF moment here is I have this serviced regularly, you would think they would see that the compressor is looking bad ans needs to be replaced. My wife is convinced last time they came out they put some kind of timer to break it, the conspiracy theory queen. So 300 dollars later we have air, on a god note the parts were covered under warranty so I only had to pay for labor, three hundred dollars worth of labor, 1 hour of labor to be exact.
Second WTF moment of the last few days, I went to the Verizon store yesterday to make some inquiries about the Droid, a neat phone does alot of cool stuff, definitely comparable with IPhone. the part that pissed me of was you have to buy unlimited Internet time with it, to the tune of 30 dollars per month per phone. Now why does this piss me off, well the stupid thing has WIFI so you can get on the Internet anywhere there is a WIFI for free. When I asked about this I was told the WIFI is for use when you have a bad phone connection, Its fucking Verizon people they do not have bad connections. This is just another bullshit opportunity to make money. they know no one would use the Phone Internet with WIFI so they are going to make money by forcing us to pay. Well I have answered then with fervor in saying stick the droid and all other smart phones up your collective asses.
Next and This pissed me off the most. Yesterday as we all know was the 5th of May, I will not say it in Spanish because I do not live in Mexico. Now for those of you who don't know the Fifth of May is commonly thought of as Mexican independence day (sadly if you ask most Mexicans they will tell you the same) well it is not. It is to celebrate the Mexican victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. While the French did try to take over it is far from it, The real Mexican Independence day is Sept 16th when Mexico fought for and won its independence from Spain. OK enough with the history lesson the real reason for this last WTF is to tell you about an Article I just read about five kids in a Southern California school who were sent home for wearing shirts with the American flag on them on the Fifth of May yet those with Mexican flagged shirts were allowed to stay. What else can I say except What The Fuck is happening to this country.

OK enough about that. Running has been going well the new Brooks are good but now real mile on them yet only one 4.5 mile quickie. That will be changing soon though I am planning a 8 miler in the next few day and I will of course let you know how that goes.
I am sorry for all the negativity in this post but hey they all cant be great. Until next time all

be safe
