My training schedule

Here's a link to my training schedule. I'm training for the Great Turtle 5.7 mile run on Mackinac Island. I plan on sticking very closely to it. You'll notice that it has me running 182 miles including the race between now and October 21st. That's a lot of miles. I've been thinking about looking for some sponsors to help me pay the registration and hotel. Do you think this is a good idea or not?

Kayaks

Dan and I have talked about how great it would be to have a kayak for a couple of years now. I took a couple of pictures in the U.P. and am posting them here for him.

There are actually 3 groups of kayaks in this picture. There is the obvious group. Then if you look between the two sailboats over by the shore you can see another group. And then on the left side of the picture up by the shore is a 3rd group. The picture below is of the kayaks that still haven't been launched into the water.

This summer's guilty pleasure

It seems that every summer I get wrapped up in a t.v. show that I'd rather not tell others about. A couple years ago I watched Big Brother. Last year it was Rockstar: INXS. I hadn't found one this year and was happy. Until last night. This one may actually be more embarrassing than the others. Ok here goes. Last night I watched, and I plan on continuing to watch, "Who wants to be a Superhero". This is a "reality show" where they compete to be the world's next superhero. The winner will be featured in a Stan Lee comic book and will have a movie on the Scifi channel based on their character. I even have a favorite that I'm cheering for. Major Victory. The show made me laugh out loud while Steph was trying to sleep next to me. Good stuff.

Anniversary

Well I've officially been doing this for a year now. I'm still not sure how many people actually read it but it's been fun anyways. I'll keep doing it for now and we'll see about the future.

Happy Anniversary everyone.

Things here are crazy

The past two weeks I've done youth trips in Ohio and the Upper Peninsula. This week is VBS. Things are crazy. So I'm giving you this link. This game is a ton of fun and actually made me laugh out loud. Enjoy!

Running

I'm still running but it isn't as often as it was before. Summer is a really busy time for me. Yesterday I ran 5.3 miles in 55 minutes. So I need to get faster but I'm pretty sure I can finish the race on the island.

Kings Island

We were at Kings Island with the youth group on Friday. On Sunday 27 people went to the hospital after Son of Beast broke. It was shut down all morning Friday and we were among the first to ride it after it opened. I think the idea that I could've been hurt makes the ride even more exciting.

Here's the story

My pirate name

Steph and the girls went to McDonalds and got game pieces for the Pirate game. She wanted me to check online to see if they won anything so I had to go to playatmcd.com and register. They didn't win anything but the website game me a pirate name. It's fierce and scary. I'm catfish Paul.
