Madness In The Middle Kingdom

When watching the Lethal Weapon movies (yeah .. I watched ‘em … you ALL did) I loved the fact that 75% of Danny Glover’s speaking part was encompassed by the line “I’m gettin too old for this sh*t”. Someone should be telling Sly Stallone the same thing about Rocky 6. Hey he is fantastic shape for a 60 year old guy but he IS a 60 year old guy.

Anyway my point of this entry is to update anyone who cares on my run in the 28th Annual GoldRush Fun Run occurring yesterday. The bragging part - I came in 2nd in my age group of 30 to 39 year old males AND there was more than 2 guys competing. The sad truth though is that I was 31 minutes for a 5.2K run which is a far cry from what I used to be able to manage and I never saw the guy who got first place the entire run. I might have been able to get 30 minutes but a lady bailed in front of me about 0.5 K into the run and I stopped to help her. Her friends were quickly on the scene and told me to go on so being the heartless bastard I am - I did. The run ends on a hill about 200 to 250 meters long and it is freakin steep. Unlike last year (33 min) I ran the entire hill this time.

As no photos exist of this particular event I have only this video to spice up this post

My apologies to Queen but couldn’t think of a catchy title. Carter has now entered the world of the three wheeled. Yesterday Gramma returned from WalMart with a special surprise and Carter is loving it - not riding it - but loving it. He had a couple turns of the pedal but hasn’t managed sustained propulsion - yet!

We loook forward to many spill, thrills and chills!
