Still Running

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:01:00 GMT

Over 52 miles in 30 days of running and I'm loving it! Averaging about 2 miles per day of running. Would like to get up to 3 miles so I can run a 5k marathon. We'll see how it goes.

Getting ready to go out again right now. Might be a little warm!

Good Day!

Took it Easy

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 02:51:00 GMT

I took it a little easy today because I golfed 18 holes today. No carts on the fairway meant a lot of walking. I did have the best round of my life though. We went out to the Cowboy Golf Club and it was awesome!

With that being said I ran only 1.34 miles. The good news is I felt really good doing it and didn't need much time to cool down and catch my breath. Awesome day all and all!

Good Day!

2.15 miles!!!!!

Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:50:00 GMT

Well, I reached a milestone tonight, I ran across "the bridge". This is the bridge that is right by my house and that I drive down several times a week. The same bridge on which I pass runners while going 60 thinking they are nuts. However today I was one of those nut jobs.

Starting out I thought the bridge itself was 3 miles long, but when we drove over it I found out it was only two miles. Two miles!!?? Thats perfect I thought, 2 miles is my goal for the week. So after dropping the kids and the wife off at gymnastics I hit the bridge. It turns out that I didn't start in the right spot to complete the 2 mile bridge run. So the run only ended up being 1.9 miles. Fortunately I realized my mistake on the walk back and was able to finish with a 1/4 mile (.25 mile) run. It wasn't 2 miles non stop, but it was over 2 miles total!

And I'm spent!

Good Day!

Back at the Running

Mon, 16 Jun 2008 02:42:00 GMT

Two days off back at it again tonight. Another 1.66 miles on the meter. This is pretty fun. I wonder if I'll be able to get up to 2 miles this week?

How far are you running?

Good Day!

Further yet tonight

1.63 miles tonight!!! It's all in your head. Your mind will quit sooner than your body.

I created a page to track my miles.

Good Day!

Pushed a little further

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 12:35:00 GMT

I pushed it a little further last night. I ran 1.34 miles last night, according Google maps. Feel better this morning than I did yesterday morning. Thats a good thing right?

My buddy Keith suggested I get the Nike+ Sportband. He and my neighbor, Bret, have the Nike+ iPod. The SportBand pretty much does the same thing and it's cheaper. I just might have to get it. Can anyone say father's day???

Good Day!

Here we go!!

Running again

Challenge Accepted!

Thu, 28 Sep 2006 14:09:05 GMT

I’ve been called a lot of mean things in my life some to my face and surely more behind my back. However the other day I got called a name by a guy I don’t even know! This guy, Todd, if that is his real name, called me a lurker!!! A lurker??!! How can you call me a lurker if you don’t even know me Todd??

Well Todd didn’t just call me a lurker he called A LOT of ColdFusion developers lurkers or takers. We can define lurkers or takers in this case as developers that take code from blogs or other community sites but don’t give back to the community. For whatever reason, either they are too busy or too lazy they just don’t give back. Therefor Todd proposed a challenge. The challenge was for us all to get more involved in the ColdFusion Community, write a blog, join a CFUG or mailing list. Do something to give back.

Well Todd, challenge accepted! I’m going to try my best to make time to give back. What I say here on my InstantSpot may seem silly to those more experienced than I, so for that I apologize and welcome all feedback.

If you are new to the ColdFusion or Blog thing, here are some of the hot spots I visit often,.
