Cowtown

February 26, 2010 in Blogging, Fitness, Mi Vida Loca with Comments Off

In the morning, I will attempt to run my longest race yet…the Cowtown Ultra Marathon. 50 kilometers. How far is that?

50 kilometers = 31.0685596 miles

Yikes. 31. Miles.

According the Cowtown website, there are 18 men in my division. Coming off of my knee injury & a terrible race season, I am just hoping to finish.

I’ll be running with my dad and my good friend Wendy Oglesby. I’ll also have the good old iPhone again, so watch my twitter & facebook for video updates. :)

Live Marathon Stream

January 9, 2010 in Blogging, Creativity, Fitness, Goals with Comments Off

If you need something to do tomorrow I am running the Disney Marathon in Florida. The marathon is a slow one because of the HUGE crowd and tiny streets that it is held on. Most people don’t run their personal best times at Disney. But its supposedly a BLAST of a race.

So, as long as I have a signal, I’ll be Tweeting live updates and streaming live video during the race tomorrow. It starts at 5:40am Eastern time.

Watch my twitter feed HERE or facebook page here for the updates.

Anytime I am live streaming video, you’ll see a Tweet or a Facebook status update with a link that will take you straight to the live video feed.

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!

Winner Winner, CHICKEN DINNER

November 5, 2008 in Fitness, Mi Vida Loca with 4 Comments

A little over a month ago I asked you, my readers to help me run my marathon on November 16th. A marathon is 26.2 miles long. Can you imagine running that far with nothing to help you keep your mind off of the pain that you body starts feeling at about mile 20? CRAZY.

That’s why anytime I run a race, a good playlist on the old iPod is essential. This playlist has gone through my own personal extreme testing process as I have run almost daily for the past 16 weeks. It is 4.5 hours long and my race goal is 4 hours.

AND THE WINNER IS…HANG ON ONE SECOND…

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

BEST OVERALL Running Song Award goes to:
JMOB (Future TCC media superstar) for THIS CONTRIBUTION. INCREDIBLE.

Most Well Thought Out Playlist Award Goes to:
Rafael Marquez. That guy had me a little of everything and I am adding ALL of his songs to my running list…except some of those latin tunes that I can’t find…Rafael, can you hook me up?

WORST Suggested Song Award goes to:
NIV for “I kissed a girl” by Katy Perry. UGH.

Ok, now, THE WINNER OF THE GAME: Makenzie Phillips!

I will deliver your iTunes Gift Card this Sunday at church so BE THERE!

Sure, she’s the lead pastor’s daughter but she won fair and square. I let random.org pick the winner.

One last thing. PRAY FOR ME on November 16th! Thanks for all the songs everyone!
