Only 9 more REGULAR days...


until Letha and I are on vaction. The Bahamas, Florida and another trip to Universal Studios...I'm so freakin' excited. This will be Letha and I's first vacation since our wedding. Of course, I'm not counting the trips to Indiana for weddings or quick trips to New Hampshire...but I think it very well deserved.

On another note...I have lost 23.6 pounds since February 24th. I have been getting my body in shape to go to the beach...of course I still another 18 pounds to go before I am at my goal weight, which is the lowest I have weighed in my adult life. But little steps will get me there...
I'll make sure to post pictures of our vacation when we get back...

Some people are CRAZY...

but these guys are NUTZ!

On Thursday I got a call from a manager in the city that told me about this movie. Letha had read a RUNNER'S WORLD article about one of these guys. It sounded crazy when she told me about it, but it was nuts to watch the movie about their journey. We only saw 90 minutes of their journey...but it was awe inspiring. To see what they saw (even small portions) was amazing.

They had planned to run 80 days and averging 2 marathons a day...I have done 2 half-marathons (a year apart) and I don't want to do another one EVER. But to do 4 times the amount I did...a day for 2 and a half months? Then we you start the journey...it ends up taking an extra 31 days. They averaged a 9-10 minute mile for 4300 miles through 6 countries.

It was a very inspiring film to watch and I don't run. Letha found it a lot more inspiring and has decided that she wants to do another marathon at some point down the road.

Here's the trailer to the film:

Chicks and Lightsabers?
