Downed Computer

My Computer is no longer working. In fact I'm writing this from a laptop I barrowed from work. My daughters were in our room with food and drink (which they're not supposed to be) and spilled a whole cup of water on our computer. So today I'm taking it to Best Buy to see if it can be repaired or if I have to try and get a whole new system. In the meantime I found this really cool video, or it found me.

Nipple Gaurds

I've been running again for a little over 5 years. I lesson I learned hard was to always wear nipple guards on long races. When I first started racing I was told about this and warned that if I didn't do it my nipples would bleed from the constant rubbing on the shirt. I scoffed thinking that people were joking with me and pulling my leg. That was until a particular run in December a couple of years back. I ran the race and my nips wear burning but I didn't know why until a woman passed me pointed to my chest and said "Oh I feel for you". I looked down and noticed two read spots where my nips are; Lessoned Learned. When I was getting ready for this years marathon I realized I forgot my nip guards and was pretty distraught. I was staying at a friends house and his wife offered me her pasties ( I think that's what they call them). From what I understand woman wear them when they wear dresses that they really can't wear bras with. I really had no choice so I accepted the offer. Hence the picture below. It's hard wearing flowers over your nips but they worked great.

BAck in AZ

We're back from the east. It was a fun trip! I just looked at the video below on my other post and I look pretty creepy in that opening shot. OOOF!

Anyway the marathon went well, I ran a slow time but I have to say I really enjoyed the run. I ran with an old running buddy and it was great running together and catching up on things during the run.

We also visited some old friends in PA where we got to play in the snow! That's right it had snowed 10 inches the day before we landed so we had a blast. Snow ball fight...Woo Hoo!

It was a very hectic get away. We landed in philly drove to staten island, drove to PA, drove back to NYC, drove back to north east pa and drove to Philly. OOF!

It was nice to go back, I was getting very home sick for the trees and season change and other things. We woke up the first morning and were pretty excited to find frost on the car! I was telling my wife "are we strange or what?" Being there, I feel, grounded me again. I feel much better now and have a greater gratitude for where I live now as well as the northeast USA.

It's funny usually the marathon is the zenith of the trip but I think this year it wasn't and I'm pretty happy about it. It was also my wife's birthday and we had a great time celebrating and just being with the kids and showing them NY. I think the highlight of my trip was when I was on the beach with my kids and I realized just how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful family.

To my wife, Happy Birthday Honeybun, I love you. And to my kids, I cannot put into words just how much I love all of you and how much you all are a part of me.

Hope you enjoy the pics...
