But you could’ve run it faster than that, right?

Country Music Half Marathon 2008 Pictures
Here are a few shots from the race.
This first picture shows how dense the roads were. With over 30,000 runners, the roads really didn’t clear up the entire time.

Country Music Half Marathon 2008
I did it! I survived and finished the Country Music Half Marathon. It was an exhilarating experience that was definitely worth the effort. I’ve been training for this 13.1 mile race every since I set the goal back in January.
Here are a few of the details of what it took to cross the finish line.
- 116 days of training
- 234.11 miles of running
- 35 Hours, 7 Minutes, and 58 Seconds of actual running time
- $237 of shoes, shorts, shirts, socks, gloves, and a gym bag
- $58 of Clif Bars and Accelerade sports drink
- $266 for a gym membership, Nike+, and the race fee
- Great friends to train and run with
That’s about it. For those of you I couldn’t talk into running the race with me, that’s what you missed out on—plus the experience.
My official race time was 1 hour, 53 minutes, and 39 seconds.

Edwin Villanueva
Well it looks like someone actually likes the simplicity of my site’s design enough to try it out for themselves. Although I don’t plan to release this design as a theme, I don’t mind sharing what I’ve done. Edwin was even nice enough to contribute to a new book I bought today, Boundaries. Thanks Edwin, and enjoy the new look!

Baby Steps
My wife officially launched her blog today!
She jumped ahead of at least three other people waiting on me to help them set up their blogs and managed to talk me into designing her site with a scrapbooking look. She did most of the work and created all the scrapbook images.
Be sure to visit Baby Steps, and let her know what you think of the site. You can also subscribe once you’re there to keep up with the latest Baby Steps she’s taking.

Monopoly
Spent the weekend playing Monopoly with the family.
This is so much more fun than the old version—probably because you can spend money so much faster!

Sushi and a Sea Urchin
Once again, our sushi chef held nothing back in preparing a wonderful assortment of sushi for the evening.
He even surprised us with a sea urchin (the raw quail egg and sea urchin held in a cucumber on the left side of the plate). This is supposed to increase your manhood, but I wasn’t able to keep it down—great treat nonetheless.
Maybe next time…
