Ran 2 miles today in 18:39. Doesn’t sound like much but I haven’t ran more than 1 mike straight without quitting since junior high. So it is a big accomplishment for me. I realized I can push myself. And I enjoyed it, more than I thought I would. Enough to keep running in events and hopefully get to the point where I can go decently long distances.

Also, that time was ranked in the 300s out if multiple thousands of people. So I’m feeling good.

Getting ready to run a 2 mile race. Here is hoping that I don’t pass out!

The Lack of History Channel loves to provide a platform for conspiracy nonsense and there use a 9/11 shower on now. I will report more later.

First, do not do what I did here. Second get a beginners lesson. This is what I did and it was a blast. I would recommend it to any one.

In the video below you see classic beginners mistake, I looked down the whole time which resulted in my crash landing. The key is to look where you wasn’t to go the whole time.

I’ll share more later.

Video upload problems… brb

It has been a tough day of relaxing, reading, and playing in a pool!

We finally made it to North Carolina. The weather is very lovely and the place we rented is beautiful! All for now, I’m off to beach to go running.

Yes it is true. Glenn Beck is starting his own “university” I just found it listening to NPR this morning. Sorry for not providing a link but I refuse to support him in any way. Just google it.

Right now it isn’t much, just a few classes. And from what I can gather it wouldn’t be accredited so I doubt it could offer degrees. Though my knowledge of what it takes to start a “university” is pretty weak.

I can’t help but wonder if Beck’s university gets large enough if he will attempt to get public funds. Such a move would certainly blow the irony meter!

but still unpacking! And it’s going to take awhile.

Step 1. never buy a sprint phone on their release date. Their system sucks! Took 4.5hrs to get to the point where I was home with the phone. Why? Not sure but the Best Buy rep said the same thing has happened for every major phone Sprint has released.

So after the first hour I figured I was there for the long haul. So rather than turn into the dick customer I decided to just chill. The lady I was working with appreciated it and it was more enjoyable for me too. It was funny because one of the other Best Buy reps was surprised by my lack of inaction. I suppose they are used to more illogical reactions from customers.

The whole process consisted of about 3 major steps with each step consisting of anywhere from 10 to 20 sub steps. The process was worse than pulling teeth. The BB rep would click to move forward on one of the sub steps and the page would timeout with the timeout taking around 10-30mins each. But in most cases the data was sent. Then the rep would have to sign back in and attempt the next step and the process started all over again. For 3hrs that was the process.

The next hour was spent with the rep on the phone with Sprint. The last 30mins was trying to purchase the phone. I wish I was making this up…

But I got the phone now and it is truly amazing. I recommend it to anyone on Sprint, especially in a 4g area.
