Books Books BOOKS!

pile-of-bookOne of my goals (more on all of my 2009 goals soon) for 2009 is going to be to read 50 books. I think. Maybe 40. Not sure yet…

I need to be a more avid reader.  So, I am compiling a list. Its getting there. I need some help though.

And don’t say “The Bible.” The Bible goes without saying; it is a non-negotiable. Putting the Bible on a reading list is like putting breathing on a to-do list. It is a given.

What books would you recommend that I read?

Marathon Playlist & WINNER!

The playlist is ready. It has gone through my own personal extreme testing process. It is 2.7 hours long so hopefully, I won’t even hear the last .7 hours of it!

The playlist is made up of songs that are going to increase my endurance and muscle strength…or maybe they are the songs that I will be listening to as I pass out from exhaustion. We’ll know soon.

As for the winner…well…just a second.

You ALL were a big help and I want to give some HONORABLE MENTIONS FIRST:

  • Best Song I Should Have Owned But Didn’t Award goes to:
    • JORDAN POLK: “18 Miles to Memphis” – Stray Cats. Not sure how I didn’t already own this song since I have over 130 Stray Cats songs…thank you Jordan!
  • BEST OVERALL Running Song Award goes to:
    • SAM WHITE: “north american scum” – lcd soundsystem. This song MAKES me run faster. I am going to have it on its own playlist as a quick backup song in case things start to go wrong.
  • Most Well Thought Out Playlist Award Goes to:
    • MIKE REID: Check out his playlist. Precise!
  • WORST Suggested Song Award goes to:
    • JEFF HOWARD: “Diamonds From Sierra Leone” – Kanye West. Seriously Jeff. Next time I see you I AM going to punch you right in the face. Maybe you SHOULDN’T come home for Christmas…
  • Most VIOLENT Song Award Goes to:
    • STEVE ETHERIDGE: “Come out and play” – The Offspring. Hey man, I will probably need a good violent song towards the end!

WINNER OF THE GAME…RUTH MARTINEZ!!!  I will deliver your iTunes Gift Card this Sunday at church so BE THERE!

AND LAST, but not least, the final playlist, in image format…because I didn’t feel like typing out all of these songs…

Running with Google

I ran 6.8 miles just now. I can’t feel my forearms because it was about 45 degrees outside. Good run. If you are like me and love to be able to track your progress when trying to reach a goal, GOOGLE has a sweet tool. It’s called “my maps.” Check out this map of my run this morning. Really cool tool for bikers or runners because you can map it and see exactly how far you went. Just thought I’d brag a little and share this really cool new feature of google maps.

The training for the 1/2 marathon I am running is going good. I have less than a month to be ready…pretty stinking scary!
