I got done with a nice 3 mile run not too long ago and I definitely needed it. Today was a pretty crappy day at work so a run was a great way to get my mind off things and put things back in perspective.
I'm also taking tomorrow off from work and I am looking forward to that. Amy and I have tickets to a volleyball tourney in Omaha to watch the Huskers play. There are 4 teams in the tournament and 3 are in the top 25, with Nebraska and UCLA ranked 1 and 5 respectfully. So there should be some real good games.
We are going to stay in Omaha tomorrow night after the first round games and spend Saturday at the zoo before the second round games. It will be a nice break from things before starting a new top priority project at work and classes.
I probably won't post again until Sunday when we get back into town, so I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

I'm Back
I can't believe how long it's been since I last posted and I thank those who have bugged me about not posting. I don't have any excuse really, I've just been lazy about it and did other stuff instead. Mostly played poker online (shhh, don't tell though because the leaders of our great nation have deemed my hobby illegal).
Running has been going great. I went out for a 6 mile run this last Sunday, I made a wrong turn though and only ran 5.7 miles. I may out my runs online and planned to run a loop around a neighborhood. As I go to there I noticed the road was extremely freaking hilly, steep hills too. Hills are not good for keeping my hear rate down. So I look at the road sign and it's named 'Rolling Hills Rd.' DOH! From now on I'll be sure to look at the road names when I'm mapping out the my run.
That run put me over 200 miles for the year (which didn't start until 3/31 for me). I'm pretty proud of that. Counting tonights run my total mileage for the year is 203.1 and it has taken me 31 hours and 55 minutes, or at least that is what I have in my log. Amy also broke a milestone the other day and has logged over 100 miles this year. She started running after I did and had to take some time off because of shin splints.
I have though about my blog a lot and where I want to go with it and I'm not completely sure. I figure that since classes at UNK are starting back up again I'll need another excuse to procrastinate (that's another hobby of mine, and I'm one of the best) so I'm planning on posting regularly again.
I will keep posting about my running but I want to do more than that. I have been listening to books when I run so I'll try and write up some posts about those once in awhile. A lot the thinking I do when I run is about our country and the direction I think we are headed and I'm not a fan of what I see. So I feel I have to share my thoughts and try to someway make things a little better. So once in awhile you'll probably see a post about some of those things. I'll be sure to put something in the first line of the post so you know that's what it will be about right away and can skip it if you don't want to read my rants.
Well that's all for now, I'm glad to be back and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and experiences with you again.
