Back to training

This morning for the first time in a long time I got up and went for run. I'm very excited to be back and training for another triathlon, or maybe a half marathon this time. Not sure on the when or were but plan to do something with my training this winter. I was also starting to get fat again, and training defiantly fixed that this last time.

The greatest day in history!

9 years ago today was one of the greatest days in American history in my opinion. September 12th, 2001 was a day that made us all look at our country with love, pride, and hope. We looked at our family, neighbor, and friends with open hearts. We were compassionate and respectful to people we know, and people we had met for the first time. On this day 9 years ago we were all the people we should be and people we could all be proud of.

9 years later we are a complete disaster!!! Our country today looks a lot like the campus in a movie called PCU. We are so good at pointing out what is wrong and different about each other we don't even see what is good and similar about us. Our country is full of hate, greed, and self absorbed people that would sooner step on you than help you up. We all have our hands out looking for a quick buck and we will do anything to get it. I think reality TV has proven this over and over. What happened to hard work, respect, dedication, and love for your fellow man. On 9-12-01 we were not, black, white, or brown, we were not Christian, Mormon, or atheist, we were not Republican, Democrats, Green party, or Tea party members. We were proud heart filled Americans, that would be glad to help a stranger or the neighbor you had never met.

I know I'm not talking about every American, some our still the same people they were 9 years ago today. My point is good people are not the majority like they were that day, they are a rapidly diminishing group of people that are hard to find. Yesterday there were lots of shows dedicated to 9-11. Today I wanted to make sure we recognized the day we had all forgotten, a day we should be very proud of. A day we should model our lives after.

One year closer to forever!

8 Years ago today I married an amazing women. She is not only my wife, she is my best friend. It seem like everyday my love for her grows deeper and deeper. Everyday I look at this beautiful woman in bed next to me and wonder how I became so lucky. I'm hardly perfect but I know that I'm a better man because of her. I can't imagine my life without her. She fills my thoughts, my dreams, and my heart with her smile everyday.

I love you Kristina Mitchell, for all you do for me and our family.

Updates!!!

Last night we had our first full game of the football season and we won big. I think it was 58 to 20. Our actual first game got rained out last week in Bullhead City. I love coaching football.
Last week I started a new position at my work. Last week was crazy busy especially going into a short week. I don't work less I just work 1 less day on top of learning a new position. I put in 60+ hours and I'm ready to enjoy my 3 day weekend. That's all for now I'm ready to spend 2 days with my family with no school, work, or football.
