I Love Snacks (Behind the Scenes)
As I came walking up the stairs, I saw Little John and he started jumping up and down and smiling. He saw the three bags I was carrying and could not wait to look inside. This is the behind the scenes look at how it went down.

Geno was messing around tonight and put on his full military gear to take some pictures. He’s a real America Soldier.

I Would Run 1,000 Miles
Last January I set goal for myself to keep myself running. I would try to run just about everyday, on the treadmill for 3 miles. Considering days taken off (which were just a few), I did achieve that and more.
Going to the Gym is Boring
There is nothing quite as monotonous as going to the gym, hoping on the treadmill and running for 20-25 minutes. Thud, Thud, Thud. Sometimes it seems like it went on forever. But I would always remind myself that I needed to run my 3 miles, and I would usually make it.
I didn’t always make it though and sometimes stopped at 2 miles, but other times I ran 5 miles to make up for those lapses. All in all it was one long boring run that I pieced together over 1 year and I am glad that I did it.
San Diego to Odessa
For fun I tracked the endeavor on GoogleMaps to see what that long run looked like and as it turns out, I made it almost half way across the United States. Well thats not quite true but the run landed me in the middle of Texas.
Here is the run and what it would have looked like if I choose to Forest Gump it across the US.
Setting Goals is a Good Thing
I must say running breaks you out of the status quo each day and forces you into an uncomfortable situation. Running is not fun. I do not like it but I sure do like how I feel after it is all said and done. By pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone you expand your comfort zone considerably and are more likely to enjoy other things throughout the day just a bit more.
I don’t know what my goal will be this year but I definitely plan on keeping my virtual running trek across the US.
Winter Dreaming
Tu and I in upstate New York. It was a very rural area with plenty of beautiful countryside.

Up Goes the Christmas Tree
We put up Mom’s Christmas tree yesterday. Well, I didn’t technically do anything but Danny, Camille, Geno and Little Camille did the big work. It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, everywhere I go!
Jimmy got his Chucks On
He came running up to me and pointed to his shoes. Then he started shuffling and singing “Oh, Oh, Oh”. Then he started laughing. He did it all night, at least while I was there.
James was proud to be wearing his white chucks and singing “Count to 10”, a song I had written and videotaped for them early this year. Jimmy’s got his white chucks on just like Uncle Frank.
