Running

You know, if you had asked me 3 months ago, if I thought I'd be running 9 to 12 miles a week, I'd have said you're crazy! But here I am, running every other day. It's really refreshing, sometimes tiring, but always good. I've found if I go running after I take Hayden to school, I have more energy throughout the day, then running at 10:30 at night.

Try it yourself. If nothing else, just go out and walk for about 30 minutes each night. You'll see a difference in how you feel, look and act.

Have a good week!

Mountain biking

So I went mountain biking today with several members of www.macontracks.org.

I had a blast. Here's what happened:

We had a great time this morning. I know I'm gonna be sore. I took one jump and Deb had stopped in front of me and I nailed both brakes and flew over the handlebars. Later, I thought it would be cool to go through the creek. Amy G was coming around the corner about then and almost wrecked laughing at me as I, once again, ate it. Apparently, the trail that used to go through the creek is not really a trail, but had a 2 1/2 foot drop off. I got a well deserved swim! I wish we had a picture.

Anyway, here's me, Deb and Amy G at the end of the ride. I can't wait until next time.



And showing off our boo boos (and mud!).

Charlie Daniels' thoughts on Obama

Guns and Church

Since I identify with the people who fall into Barrack Obama's elitist description about people of faith who keep firearms I'm not very happy with Barrack Obama's recent remarks.


He said something to the effect that us rednecks cling to our guns and our religion when we get frustrated and I would like to take umbrage to these remarks. My faith goes much deeper than his superficial explanation and I love my guns even when I'm not frustrated.


And I am not by myself. I was going to church and shooting guns before Mr. Obama was even born and come from a long line of good people who have been doing it for generations.



To me this Obama blunder only helps reveal the depth of condescension the far left wing of the Democrat party has for the folks out here in flyover country.

Mr. Obama's remarks are insulting to a lot of folks. It's kind of like Abraham Lincoln said, "God must love the common people because He made so many of them".

His remarks make me think that Obama doesn't know the people of this country very well. I'm sure he knows the jet set and the Hollywood bunch,the limousine liberals and the save the whales, kill the babies crowd, but does he think that the ordinary people don't count? Does he think that they're so stupid that they don't know who he's talking about when
he says these things? Does he think their opinions aren't important?

Apparently.

How can a man stand in front of America and tell people what he wants to do for them and have so little respect for a whole segment of the population? In fact, a very large segment. Does that mean that he would only represent the high-minded liberal ideals of the far left and ignore the rest of us?


What kind of Commander and Chief would he make if he doesn't respect the very people who make up the lion's share of the armed forces?


You may say I'm over reacting, but I'm getting sick and tired of him making these elitist statements and saying that he had been taken out of context or some other flimsy excuse.


After his wife's remark about not being proud of this country and his pastor's statements calling America the U.S.K.K.K.A. and his ownstatement about not wanting his daughter punished with a baby, it makes me wonder what kind of a man Obama really is and what kind of a president he'd make.

Would he be an antigun advocate pushing the effort to take the firearms out of innocent citizen's hands? Would he not respect the religious beliefs of America, not taking them into account in his agenda?


I really don't know much about the man and neither does America. He basically came from out of nowhere and as the facts come out little by by little, they don't make a particularly confident picture.


I have a great fear that if our military gets broken by another
president, this time we're not going to have time to fix it again and what that spells for America, I don't even want to contemplate.


Oh well, I guess I'll grab my gun and go to church.

Pray for our troops

What do you think?

God Bless America

Update

Well, I've been horrid at keeping this updated.

I'm down to 222. I'm very happy with where I am weight wise. I may try to reach 215 and then I'm done. I don't want to be as skinny as 191. Sorry. LOL

Hayden started back to school last week and LOVES it! He is doing so well and is certainly being a big boy.

I don't have much to say today. Just be safe and have a great one!
