Running for American Cancer Society I'm hoping to raise money for the American Cancer Society and maybe inspire some others to get out and run. It's been a powerful force in my life since my first marathon in 2005.
Let's do it again in 2012 and raise more than $2000 for American Cancer Society!

First and foremost – we raised $1,739.70 for the American Cancer Society – we beat last year’s total by $180+ ! Thank you! That’s $3,294.39 in two years. Which also means only $6,705.61 to go until I’m 40 or before I turn 41! Here’s some photos – and a link to the full slide show. [...] [...]
Surprisingly – especially to me – my hammy held up through the entire marathon. The bad part of this was that I was not as mentally prepared to battle the battle I had in store. I figured it would be a battle of patience, limping and cursing. Instead it was a typical marathon battle of [...] [...]
13 miles of running – not including race day Attempted to rest and sleep more Notes – Hammy acted up on my last mile of training – literally I was on the last mile and it cramped up. I don’t know what’s going to happen with it on Sunday – I was able to keep [...] [...]
Here’s the list of miles and the people who they are dedicated to. This list consists of the first 26 people to donate and was randomly selected with a SQL statement and a table variable. Thanks to everyone! Mile Name 0 Erika, Abbie and Jake 1 Doug B 2 Pedey 3 Mom and Dad 4 [...] [...]
This is what happens when you say that you’ll shave your head for $400 then, out loud, state that you can always shave your head if it’s a bad haircut. One thing lead to another and my co-workers decided I would get the Brian Bosworth haircut. The irony is that I was the one who [...] [...]
Thanks to everyone who donated – We’ve exceeded all the financial goals. I’m not saying if you came here to donate that you can’t – please do in fact – but thank you to everyone who has! It is awesome. I’m working on a few things, including a video of tonight’s shenanigans with the clippers, [...] [...]
We’ve got one week to go until Race Day! As the Czar (an old football coach) said in a letter to us, “I can’t wait!” – honestly that’s all his letter said and honestly, I can’t wait. Here’s the break down of the money for ACS. As of 10:30 PM on Sunday, 9/26/10: $1,554.69 – [...] [...]
40 miles of running – I was scheduled for 30, but with missing so much last week, I needed to get more in. 1 – 14 mile of bike ride, two sessions on the bike trainer for 40 and 45 minutes and I lifted weights once Notes – Hammy is feeling good. I don’t know [...] [...]
I’ve been battling my left hamstring for the last week and a half, thus I cut my miles down last week. In theory, it might sound like a nice break, a time to recover, etc, but what it really means to me is that I’ve got a heckuva a lot of energy to burn – [...] [...]
15 miles of running – I was scheduled for 56, hoping for 60 3 Swim sessions and I lifted weights once Notes – I attempted to run Tuesday morning, made it 4 miles slowly, but I my hamstring wasn’t ready to run. I spent the week on ice. I swam Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, then [...] [...]
