Where's He Been?

I'm sure that's the question many of you have been asking. Because, believe me, I know that the millions (and millions!) of you out there have been waiting with bated breath to see what's been going on with me.

Not a lot.

Well, technically speaking I guess that's not true.

I practically gave up running for a bit. Suffered some shin splints in June, and then pretty much stopped running.
And then I signed up for a marathon and have started again. I signed up for the Illinois Marathon (April 11,2009). Training so far has gone well, though I'm only about 3 weeks in to the training program. I must say it feels really good to be running again. I won't say that I'm back to where I was when I ran the Pig, but I'm on my way. It's amazing how little time it takes to lose all the progress you made from running. I'm sure it will take awhile to get it back. I guess maybe the secret of running for me, at least the sticking with it part, is to have a race or event to train for. Oh, and once again, my awesome sister will be running with me even though she swore she'd never run another marathon.

Thanks, Sis!

My world changed a bit in October. I got an iPhone. Man is it an amazing little thing. As a matter of fact, it's what I'm using to update this blog right now. Guess now there's no excuse not to update.

I've been playing Xbox a bit lately, mostly online, but some on my own as well. I'll chat more about that in a later blog, but my gamertag is vudurob. Feel free to send me a friend request.

Guess that's about it for now, so I'll holler at you all later.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I turn 40 today. But that's a tale for another time.

Later all, and keep running.
