6.55 Miles

Yesterday I ran 1/2 of the IVS 1/2 Marathon as part of a relay team with my younger brother (http://www.ivs.org/Results/2007/ivshalf.txt) We didn't win, but we finished, which was a huge accomplishment for me. After all, I had never run more than 3.1 miles at one time before, and the 6.55 miles I ran yesterday seemed to be mostly uphill the whole time. I finished my half in a little under 1 hour and 5 minutes, which is a huge part of us finishing in 167th place. Like I said, we didn't win!

In my defense, Samantha had 12 girls spend the night Saturday night...have you ever tried to sleep when there are 13 twelve and thirteen year olds running around the house until 3am?? Never again, or if Keri lets them, I'm getting a hotel room.

Boo Bears, Boo Cubs, and Boo Notre Dame. A very disappointing sports weekend.

KSW Of Chillicothe

I'm also going to be opening a Kuk Sool Won school in Chillicothe in October. Well, it's an extension of Kuk Sool Won of Peoria, but it will be at the Pearce Community Center in Chilli, and I'll be running it with another black belt from Chilli. Should be a good experience, will save me a couple trips to Peoria every other week, and will put some money in my pocket. I figure that if we can get 30 people joined I should be able to bring home about $500/month. Getting closer to being able to make the house payment on this new house of mine!!

So, if you know anyone near Chillicothe that wants to kick me in the head, send them my way!!
