Cowtown

March 2, 2009 in Family, Fitness with 6 Comments

I ran the Cowtown half marathon (13.1 miles) with my Dad on Saturday in Ft. Worth, Texas. The race was a blast…freezing though. At start time the temp was 30 degrees with 36-40 mile an hour winds out of the north. The first 2 miles of the race were…you guessed it…straight into that north wind.

I did something different this race…something I’ve never done before. I ran WITH my Dad. On purpose. I just thought it would be fun to finish together for once. At the finish line though, I made sure my foot crossed before his (to keep my perfect record of always beating dad.) Only, it appears that I made a mistake. I apparently did NOT think to make sure that my foot with the timing chip crossed first.

So, officially, you beat me Dad. Enjoy it while it lasts. From now on, IT IS ON. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!

  • PUMPED about our new message series that starts tomorrow, ROCK OF LOVE!
  • PUMPED about running with my Dad again on Feb. 28th in the Texas Cowtown Marathon. Funny, I remember how much I used to fret about a long race…now its kind of just another day.
  • PUMPED that Nic got his hot tub up and running today. Ummmm…they are going to have to just go ahead and give me a key…it will be easier than me calling and begging ever other day or so. :)
  • PUMPED that I got to chill with my family all day. Awesome! Sometimes, doing nothing feels good. That is something pretty off the wall and crazy for me to say…
  • 100% CONVINCED that if everyone in the U.S. understood this and did something about it, the world could change, forever.
  • SAD that some of the “Church growth haters” out there on the web don’t understand that LOVE is all that really matters. It baffles me. Why can’t we just love people? What’s wrong with loving people?
  • WONDERING what it must feel like to have no guts. Love how these critics that are out there on the web use random names on comment sections of blogs and fake emails. They are cowards, hiding behind keyboards. CRUD! ZAK, LOVE…remember…LOVE!
  • NOT PUMPED that our Executive Administrator, Kristi West, crushed me today by sharing the official U.S. flag code with me…it appears that Texas doesn’t have any special flag privileges after all. That does not change the fact that TEXAS is the greatest state in this Nation!
  • NOT PUMPED that I didn’t get to go shoot stuff today. You can’t buy 9MM ammo around here anywhere. Thanks for nothing all you “scared that Obama will take our guns away” psychos. :)
