Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my Birthday.

I took the day off and everything is awesome. …except the weather here in Eugene which is pretty gray at the moment. But that’s ok, I am beginning to get use to it a little.

I had breakfast with a friend and some good conversation. And in case I didn’t say so before, thank you for that.

I am in week four of the 100 push up challenge, and so far I am hitting all of my goals, or at least coming very close. I haven’t been able to do anything close to 100 push ups since before my shoulder surgery, so this will be an interesting experiment. Check back on a couple weeks to see the results.

Sunday I signed up for the EWEB Half Marathon Run to Stay Warm. All proceeds benefit EWEB’s Customer Care Program to help pay for the heating bills of the needy. By “needy” I don’t mean high maintenance sort of needy. I mean financially challenged needy.

It should be a good ramp up to the Eugene marathon that I will run next May.

It has been a busy month on the running front, wonder what I will get myself into next.

And finally one last bit before I go for a late afternoon hike in the rain. It has all been said before, but here is a quick Top 15 list “Best Things About Being A Guy”.

(in no particular order)
1 Movie nudity is virtually always female.
2 A five day vacation requires only one suitcase.
3 Your bathroom lines are 80% shorter.
4 You can open all your own jars.
6 Guys in hockey masks don’t attack you.
7 You can kill your own food.
8 Your underwear is $10 for a three pack.
9 You don’t have to shave below your neck.
10 You can write your name in the snow.
11 You can eat a banana in a hardware store.
12 With 400 million sperm per shot, in a worst case scenario you could double the earth’s population in 15 tries, at least in theory.
13 If you retain water, it’s in a canteen.
14 Someday you’ll be a dirty old man.
15. You don’t have to curl up next to a hairy butt every nite.
