Black Friday Rule

Appropriate in more ways than one...

"I want to believe in myself once again 

So I dream of a man whose hopes never end"

Taking a challenge from Mr. Zack Arias, the guy inadvertently responsible for getting me into photography.

Internet break 2012.

Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit passwords changed by Laurie. I've also blocked some sites on my router.

"Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout"

See everyone in 2013. I've set some running goals, I've started a photography project (per the challenge) as I'm getting pretty bored taking portraits of just myself and Laurie, and a lot of a lot of stuff that doesn't involve sitting behind a computer.

Diet Cleanse/detox - I hit 170lbs on the scale today. Ooofa. Yeah, I know, I do this every year and this year was no different. But, in Sept. I weighed 147.

Running - I'd like to get back to 30+ miles per week...race a few 5k's back east. The good thing is, I did a Turkey Trot this year, and my time was much faster than last years Turkey Trot time, so, I'm starting from a little better place this season than last. I'm pretty sure a majority of my running over the next few weeks, will be more hiking than running, and probably slow at that. If anyone feels like a slow hike up a peak, or a flat run at 10:00 pace, please, drop me an email (yes, I'll still have email)

Photography - My project involves portraits of athletes that depicts significant parts of their lives that aren't running. Kids, family, other hobbies or interests, etc.  Contact me (Yes, I'll still have email or cell phone) if you're interested in participating. In exchange for your time, I can take some family/kid Christmas card photos for you (that will surely be better than any retail outlet or your own camera).

"So next time you see me, don't ask for my name 

For I am the King and sure long may I reign"
