My Interests

Running. Lifting. Cooking. Reading. Raising my son. Living life to the fullest.

..

I'd like to meet:

Alan Greenspan, John Maynard Keynes, and Barack Obama. It'd be pretty cool to meet Steve Prefontaine, too, but he's dead.

Music:

I listen to just about anything, my "favorites" on XM Radio vary from country to 70's to alternative to top 40. It just depends on which personality I'm wearing that day.

Movies:

Love stupid comedies! Favorites include Napoleon, Dodgeball, and Anchorman. Mmmm...Sex Panther...stings the nostrils...

Television:

I don't watch much TV, but recently have really been into Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck (such trash-I love it!) and ER. My new favorite show is The Office....so horribly, uncomfortably funny. I usually have to DVR them and watch them while multi-tasking. ;)

Books:

I'm about halfway through Barack Obama's "Audacity of Hope" and then I have "State of Denial" and "Dossier on Hillary Clinton" on deck. I'm a registered independent. ;)I've also started "Motherless Mothers" by Hope Edelman, but that takes a lot of energy to work through, so it's slow going.

Heroes:

Grandma A...my hero and angel

Am I really going to be able to run the whole thing?

Today was my first 22 miler, and at mile 20 that is what I kept asking myself over and over.  How could I possibly tack on six more miles?  But, I guess everyone who's ever run a marathon ha...

My first 20 Miler!

Today marked my very first twenty mile run, in preparation for the marathon.  We started at the ass-crack of dawn, at 6:30 a.m.!  I was up at 5, after getting to bed as 12:30 because of work...

Last Sunday marked the official start of training for the San Antonio marathon.  One week down, fifteen to go!  I got 47 miles in this week and don't feel too shabby.  I screwed up my t...

Running Update

Last week was the Beach to Bay marathon relay and my team placed sixth in the open mixed division.  I had the sixth leg, which means in Corpus Christi in late May, it was 4000 degrees by 9:30 a.m...
