Next Stop
So…earlier I said that the mile time goal by June was 4:40…
Technically, it was only once. More importantly, by no means was it ‘official’. Additionally, I’m not near the weight that I wish to be, and I’m not nearly as tone as I would like.
Basically, the goal isn’t over. In fact, I firmly believe that it has only begun. With the weather becoming MUCH nicer outside, and the hours of daylight becoming longer. I have no excuse. My break is over, my legs need stretched, and there is so much built up that needs to be let loose.
Old Goal: 4:40 Mile by June
New Goal: 4:40 Mile by June [Consistently]
One and done is never good enough.

I’ve got some insomnia I’d like to share…
For those of you who are active, and then suddenly are not for a few days; you know this curse. The days that you’re not active, the night time is your curse and you cannot fall asleep. It’s a vicious, evil cycle.
So, it’s been a while since I’ve been floating around here, and I’ve got some decent reasons why:
A. I’ve been busy
B. I’m getting ready to start writing a book, literally. The website that I run, FilingThePapers.com hit 10,000 views a few weeks ago. I decided that when that moment came I’d admit to everyone that after my trip to Guatemala in June, I would start writing this book. Like the site, it’ll be about the recovery that I’ve gone through over the past eight months since my wife left me [by the way, she’s now engaged…].
C. I’m now the director of the first professional women’s soccer team in the Kansas City area. I’m not making this up; this is a team that is going to be within the WPSL [Women’s Premier Soccer League]. I’ve already filed a LLC [Limited Liability Company] with the state of Missouri, and now I’m looking for a place to play, a tournament this summer, and we’re aiming for kick-off in the ‘13 season! Oh, the name; Kansas City Shock. Get excited! Read up on it here, under the titles ‘WPSL’!
D. Traveling: I’ve gone to Dallas, Texas and back; twice within the past month. I’ve flown to Maryland in February for a wedding, and I’m going back next month. I’m also going to Guatemala in June to host a soccer clinic in Guatemala City, Guatemala. I’m also heading to Reno, Nevada in August and November for soccer coaching sessions, and I’m flying to California in December or the annual WPSL convention. Somewhere in there I’m driving to Colorado just for a break.
D. Oh…and by the way…
…that mile time happened also.
Come on, admit it; you missed me ;)

Instant reblog every time
BLESS THIS MOTHER FUCKING POST.pwnd.
i wish i could keep my temper this well and respond to homophobes like that. instead i just end up yelling and getting frustrated
I love when people attempt to justify ‘lunacy’ of Christianity by Old Testament means.
Go ahead, follow the chronology of books to Genesis, where God created woman for man.
Flip over to Moses speaking laws in Deut. where God informs no man to lie with another.
What’s that? The Old Testament says to stone and kill for rather…strange actions?
Well played.
Flip forward a few years where Jesus preaches the idea of loving one another, but to resist temptations of sexual immorality; including homosexuality, since it is God’s commandment.
Don’t miss that spot where Paul, after time of Jesus speaks to not be deceived by sexual immorality, including homosexuality, in 1st Corinthians (6:8).
In the beginning God said no, later Jesus said no, even later Paul the Apostle said no.
Homosexuality=No
By the way:
Dear “Christians”: Stop judging and try to love like Christ did. Tax collectors ring a bell?

Phase II
Oh yeah…it’s that time of the year…
Phase II
As you’re aware, the previous couple months I took a breather, and really…just relaxed. I’m reminded of several college athletes that I knew growing up, they’d go at it 3/4 of the year, but for a 1/4 they just backed off.
Today is January 31st. It’s been roughly two months since I went out and tried to bust my butt out there.
As February 1st kicks in, it’s time to begin our decent upon Phase II of my own strange program.
Overall Goal: Hit the 4:40 mile time by the end of June 2012
‘Shallow’ Overall Goal: Have a decent set of abdominal muscles to boot.
With 4:40 in mind, I did depart this evening after work [and downing a Chai Tea Latte] and hit the pavement. A mile later I was bent over dry heaving, puking, and everything in between. A mix of lunch [Subway] and mucus seemed to overwhelm my body. It was awful [I’m still coughing]. We’ve been experiencing some seriously high temperatures for January up here [60-70 degrees…literally], and I wanted to take advantage of the weather [as will be the case tomorrow]. Really the biggest loss over the past two months has been the VO2 max, my lung capacity has decreased substantially.
Easy fix: Long. Distance. Runs. It’s been a while since I started cranking out the crazy hard miles for duration’s unknown.
After finishing, I did peer down to view the time:
5:37
That’s less than a minute away from our goal for June.
I’ve got six months.
Let’s the good times roll.

…so…
Yep, attempting to spread my wings into the dating life again…
Fell crashing back to earth.
One moment while I go crawl back under my rock.
Pressing on. Refusing to give in. Fighting the urge to became standardized, and realizing that fighting back is the only way to end my problems. If I was born to run, now is time to act like it.
