For those of you who don’t know me over the past year I have become a big fan of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), what some of you here in Amerika only know as UFC. The MMA organization that got me into MMA was a Japanese company called Pride Fighting Championships. There is a big debate …

28 weeks later
As my friends are well aware my wife and I are big movie nerds. I am not a big horror movie fan but we recently went to see 28 weeks later and it was perhaps the best film I have seen since Pans Labrinthe. If you have no seen either of these films check them …
Back in the sadle
After 3 weeks off from running I picked it up again today with a short 2.5 mile run over the bridges. I am primarily wanting to focus my training on cycling over the next few months while working on my running pace (I hope to get my miles per minute time down to below 10 …
half marathon
This weekend my wife and I did a practice run for the 1/2 marathon we are doing in Nashville next weekend. We ran 10 1/2 miles of the 13.1 miles and walked the rest. While walking out the last 2+ miles I realized that the walking hurt more than the running and have decided to …

Pain and Suffering
The 1/2 Marathon I signed up for is fast approaching and I am not ready for it. I was fully intending to train hard for it and run the entire event but it looks like I have just run out of time and will not make it. I will finish but I expect it will …
Good Friday
I thought every Friday was a good Friday. In my humble life they are. The work week is over and the I have 2 days off from the hell known as my job. Do I really need the son of a fake “god” to make it a “good” Friday? Fuck Christians and fuck Jesus even …
Lord T and Eloise are coming
Went on a short run this evening around the 2 bridges. Not a very long run but it was more than most people ran today. My wife and 2 of her friends left early this morning for a weekend trip to NYC. Looks like the boys have the weekend free. Saturday night there is going …
