ELECTION'S DUN

whew. i was up to my armpits in old spice and bad election commercials. i know many of you are highly political and will get all offended, so i will just say that we have a new president, so start supporting him.

now, that's behind us, let's start concentrating on the real stuff. clay and i are in serious last minute training for this charlotte marathon. thank you angie mccurry for giving me another good reason to buy some bright shinny running shoes and quite possibly have my lefts wilt and crumble under the load of my skeleton frame. schedule? who needs a schedule. we are ad-hoc training as hard as we possibly can. tapering? recovering? huh? i'm sorry, I couldn't hear you because the treadmill's running. that's right. there's sweat on the keyboard. i actually have the sound of a guy running and panting on my ipod and i play it while i'm at work, while i run in place under my desk. it's pain all day everyday baby. i'm talking red alert, defcom 5 here. we've put in less miles than a newborn at this point. we've not sown but expect to reap a good finish come game day. i just found a couple of days ago that this thing is 26 miles. that's okay. it's only 20 more miles than i was planning on running. so who cares what all the experts say, we'll see you when it counts, Lord willing...game day - Dec 13th. Meet me at the start line with your finger on your stop watch, because 4 hrs later rain or shine --- i will be laying on the ground either in victory or right outside of the huntersville ER. it's game time chump.
