Running
January 9, 2007
Well, I've committed myself this year to attempt a half marathon. It would have been convenient to just train for a marathon right off the bat, but doing a half marathon first is probably smarter. I've signed up for the half marathon clinic at the Running Room, which looks like it will be a huge help. The clinic includes a lot of learning via a clinic manual, and it sounds like there are classes as well. The clinic starts in February.
Saturday was my first time outside for a run. The rediculously warm January weather is perfect for being outside, so hopefully it keeps up. My poor body didn't know what hit it... my legs were doing ok, but I had a pounding headache for a day or two.

Lance Armstrong's War
December 28, 2006
I just finished Lance Armstrong's War, which follows Lance through the 2004 season and his 6th Tour de France victory. The author does a great job pulling you into the world of cycling -- the speed, the raw efficiency, the superhuman will. And the crashes, I had no idea. I was fascinated, and it was one of those times you say to yourself, this has always been around and I've never realized how interesting it is. Too bad Lance is retired by now, but it will be lots of fun to watch some of the Tour de France stages this summer.

Pepsi Xbox 360December 11, 2006
To my suprise, Canada Post arrived on Saturday with the Xbox 360 I won in this years "Win Every Hour" contest. (Apparently they work 7 days a week in December!) I'll admit, I did quite the happy dance! Looks like we'll be selling it on eBay and getting a video camera instead. Just like last year, the game that Pepsi advertised as being included with the system wasn't available in time, so they included a substitute game (PGR this time around) and have promised to send Forza Motorsport 2 when it's ready in 2007. Bonus! :)
