Gotta Go: Tales from the John

They (whoever they are) say that you spend like a quarter of your life in the bathroom. I’m not sure if that includes the time spent taking your small children to the bathroom. That may bump it up to more like 3/4 of your life. What I do know is that we spend a lot …

Give Me My Freakin’ Cheese

The whole, “Who Moved My Cheese Thing,” really irritates to me. Now understand that I haven’t actually read the book and rumor is you can’t judge one by its cover. But here’s the deal. Doesn’t this presuppose that there is something wrong with ME because I’m pissed that SOMEONE ELSE moved my cheese? Why is …

For The Record

Hi. It’s been a while. Since we last talked, I broke my leg, switched jobs and wrote a history of downtown Oklahoma City for a magazine that was worthy of a masters degree. Yet I still have no masters degree and now I can’t even run the marathon. I’m not sure what feat of superhuman …

Endurance Sports Cause Brain Damage

I went on my first long run of marathon 2012 training yesterday. I hadn’t thought there would be a marathon 2012 but then I realized that if the Mayans are right, I’d like to go out with a better marathon time than what I was able to accomplish in my last attempt. Last May 1 …

New Year Resolutions … for everyone else

I’m pretty satisfied in the amount of butt I kicked last year. So much so that I don’t feel the need to resolve to do anything this year. Yeah. I’m bragging. But I did do good last year. I ran a marathon. I visited New Orleans twice. I picked up some freelance writing gigs. I …

And Now I Remember

I started this post yesterday. It was going to be about how my hip hurt so bad I was a little concerned about the marathon. I was juggling my two options, which as I could see it were cutting back on the running to let the hip heal with the possible decline in fitness or …

9 of 52 Weekends: 20 Freaking Miles

When I was in Kindergarten one Sunday at church someone stood up and announced the sign ups for the annual Crop Walk. It was one of those messages that they allow the messenger to give from the pulpit just before the benediction that sometimes also precedes a special collection. Usually I’d just be annoyed at …

3 of 52 Weekend: Bowels, Basketball and Birthday

I’ll spare the details on the bowels portion of the weekend, but suffice it to say that an enema does not seem like a good idea at any age and 6-years-old is no exception. In fact right after Nola said “I’m freaking out!” She said, “I do not think this is a good idea!” Every …

I’m Hard Core and So Is Cassie

My junior year of high school, I ran every morning before school with my track coach. He was in Vietnam, like when there was a war there and not just because an episode of No Reservations inspired him to go there as an adventure travel destination. So you can image that he was pretty hard …
