Some days you have nothing to say

Today is one of those days nothing worth mentioning happened. We spent the day cleaning the Fire Station and Trucks. In between runs but they are just what I do and not to talk about. Let me tell you this, tapering is killing me I have a few ultra running friends and a wife who keep telling me to calm down and I don't need another long run. But I am freaking out people. I guess after preparing this much running everydays longer and longer you just get used to it and to just stop and dramatically cut back well, it feels weird. Well onto other things our team is all set up for the Ragnar relay in feb I am really excited about this but I warn you A van full of firefighters no sleep and running every couple of hours well I wouldnt get to close if I were you.

Ok short on today but hey everyday can't be great unless of course your me

be safe

Last long day

My last long day before the Marine Corps Marathon I will still be running a bit but only 3 or 5 miles at a time. No real report needed for that. Today was only ten miles, ha listen to me "only ten miles" I have forgetten where I came from. There was a time not to long ago that ten miles was not possible. I asked people the same questions I am asked now, "why" and the standard jokes about how they will come with me in a car and how they don't even like driving that far, Which inevitable tunrs into I should start getting into shape as they shove popcorn into there holes. I know becuase like I said I was one of them a naysayer. I could not imagine going back to that life style. I will make anyone who reads this a promise try it and I guarantee if you are serious you will change. Enter a race a 5k, 10k, any distance and you will love it. You will change you wil become a runner and you will love it. People will ask you the questions you will just smile and shrug. Knowing they will never understand until they find it.

be safe out there

44 hours no sleep middle of the desert in July

Awesome

Well I have decided to start blogging again

I got bored with it I guess and now I have the bug again. I considered making a whole new format then I said what the hell just stick with the one you have and run with it. I will no longer only p0st about running but whatever the hell I feel like. To be honest this is my blog I will right whatever I want. Fuck, shit, damn, see anything goes. to the possible 3 people who may read this if you are offended by pretty much anything go away. I will steal a line from the Slayer song Disciple

"I hate everyone equally You can't tear that out of me No segregation -separation Just me in my world of enemies"

So be warned I may even post pics of boobs.

No on to me. I am of course still running I am in taper mode right now I have a Marathon in a little over 2 weeks and this taper is killing me I keep thinking I started to early, I didnt run far or long enough, I am still running but of course not near as long. 7 a few days ago 5 the other day and 4 yesterday, I may run 10 on Sat. I am also in a constant fight with shin plints but icing and Ibuprofin (will now be considered Vitimain I) cover it nicely along with stretching, and the foot alphabet. After that nothing a few beers can't take care of.

Ok I am excited to blog again I hope to have fun with it and keep doing it. So if you are there ask me anything I will answer any question. But until then a little about me.

I am 38, male and married. I am a father, firefighter and runner.

My wife is still hot. I love the Miami Dolphins so much I have broken things

when they have lost (last year was not pretty in my house every sunday)

I get goose pimples when they win. The thought of them in the Super bowl Is

so over whelming I don't think I could watch.

I Believe John Mcain will run the country better than Obama. It is not a Party thing just how I feel. If I have to pick I would say the only reasonI am Republican is I am against Abortion. My general attitude is whatever and nothing absolutely nothing is worth is worth stresing about. Calm down. I can slove pretty much any problem I have on a good long run.

I have no best friend but several really great friends.

Ok that is it for now.

Back home

Home from crewing and it was great. Easily my greatest running experience to date. I think the only thing that will top crewing Badwater will one day be running Badwater. Pics and observations coming in a day or 2.

Well I have not posted in a while. Walk a mile in my shoes people, busy you will see. The good news is marathon training is going well. We are off to badwater on Sat for our crewing duties. So that will get in a few miles I am sure. So if your looking for more post soon well don't hold your breath. At least a week people. But I will promise it be less than 2 months.

I am just asking

As most of you know I am running the Marine Corps Marathon this year. It will be my first Marathon I have ran several Half Marathons but the thought of a full 26.2 miles just seemed out of reach. Even more important I have been given the Honor of running as a member of the IAFF Burn Foundation Marathon Team I have been given the opportunity to help those have have suffered burn injuries. You have also been given the opportunity please help me By donating Here You help me achieve my goal. Please give everylittle bit helps.


HEALING BODIES, HEARTS AND SOULS ... Fire and burn injuries are the second-leading cause of accidental death in children ages one to four, and the third-leading cause of injury and death for those ages one to eighteen. More than 500,000 people suffer burn injuries every year.

Thanks again

me
