• Race: Parks Half Marathon

    I did it! Didn’t go as well as I was hoping, but I think my hopes were a bit lofty given all that was against me: 1. I haven’t run in two weeks.1.5. I’ve put on five pounds in that time.2. I walk with a limp.3. I was up all night with stomach issues.4. I had stomach issues this morning. I was hoping for…

  • Movie: District 9

    Finally got to see one of the two movies I’ve been dying to see. The other being Inglorious Basterds, which I’ll get to next week. I, like most others, didn’t know squat of District 9 before it was out and heavily reviewed.

It’s visually beautiful, has updated rosters, doesn’t have the goofy “QB head direction” feature that made me…

It actually pushes the activity over in to the “addiction” category since I know each run is just as detrimental as it is beneficial. Recognizing this, I have decided to give up my plans to run the Steamtown…

  • New Orleans Trip

    Two weeks since my last post… sorry! I need a five minute break from work so here goes my best five minute bachelor party in New Orleans recap: Steve (lived diagonally from me freshman year) is getting married in a month… He’s who we’re going for. Flew Reagan to St. Louis, hour delay in STL, grab some nachos and Budweiser at the Chili’s Too…
