So I signed up for the Chicago Marathon back in January. What a dumb idea! and now the training schedule has started and did I tell you I HATE running? I've been running and/or walking a couple miles each morning or evening, on a semi-regular schedule and the best thing I can say about it so far is that it feels so good when it's over. I finally broke through my resistance and browsed around Hal Higdon's site and bought two pamphlets - 1 for beginning runners, the other specifically for Chicago Marathon training.
This whole endeavor is the last of the Big Three Events this late summer/fall:
1. Chinese Family Camp in August (I'm the Camp Director AGAIN!)
2. My WEDDING in September
3. The dang Marathon in October

ok, I'm done ranting. Stay tuned...

My good buddy and comrade in arms Benson has a blog! Everyone's getting into the act, fer cryin' out loud! Benson and I have been thru many transformational adventures, which we will, undoubtedly reveal over the course of fiddling with and tweaking our blogs!

Where to begin? Today, I created myself as the Monkey King! Powerfully mischievous! So, that's why the chocolate cream pie made it into the shopping basket on the way to work. It was in honor of Ruby, who will be leaving us to go to some odd-ball software company out in Redmond, Washington. Then there's Sumeet, ya, well. 'nuff said.
Hey, be a man!
