Happy Halloween!

I'm going to try and get back into the swing of blogging. I keep saving websites to post, and never get around to posting them. I know, big slacker I am.
Anyhow, if your in my hood tonight, they'll be gumbo cookin and cold beers on ice.

In the meantime, here's a link I've had stashed away for a while. It's a new athletic supporter for baseball players. The best part about this advertisement site is the video.. check out the crazy guy that tests the product out. TheNuttyBuddy.com

Please stop!

Nothing better then walking into the bathroom at work and seeing this site. Whoever is doing this, please stop. Or, for the love of god change your diet. A blowout like this can NOT be healthy.

29th Annual Detroit Free Press Marathon

Detroit Free Press Marathon
26.2 Miles

Finishing time: 3:44:11 (8:34 pace)
Half Marathon time: 1:45:32
Underwater Mile (Canada to US) - 7:28
Age Group (30-35) finish 92 (346 people)
Overall - 868 place (not sure how many, I'm guessing 10,000 or so)

Well, I survived! I didn't do as well as I had planned, but that's ok. It was 36 degrees at the starting line, and there was a hellacious wind blowing. I kept a decent pace until I got to Belle Isle. The wind coming off the lake took everything out of me to keep running. The rest of the race I just concentrated on continuing to run, but I slowed down considerably. Really cool experience though, and I did complete my original goal of finishing under 4 hrs - and didn't stop to walk once! I'll post a pic as soon as the marathon picture company posts them online. It'll be a bit better then this one, but I give Jen credit for braving the freezing temperatures to stand outside this long to get my picture (mile 14!). By the way - here's the giant list of finishers.. go figure, a Kenyan won!!

Name in the paper..

Bowling + Rollercoaster = Fun!

What the..

I guess nothing surprises me these days.

Turkey Trot!!

I know it might be a little early to be thinking about Thanksgiving, but check out this Thanksgiving Calorie Counter. Holy wow. After adding up what you'll normally eat for Turkey day dinner, maybe you'll consider runningi the downtown Detroit Turkey Trot with me on Thanksgiving morning. Be sure to dress warm!! :)

Draw-Play

A very addictive game, you must draw your own level to get to the end!
Draw a line and with your arrow keys, make the little dude walk to the flag. Sounds easy, but it gets really tricky. I could spend hours on a game like this!
