Website

As you can see, the website has a slightly different look. I tried to clean it up a bit to make it easier to navigate. I hope you like it. I am working on a 4th DVD. Thanks to all of those who have one or all of the DVDs. I just finished up Frightened Fred 4. I had to make a change to one of my backgrounds in the video. Apparently it was just a little too scary for the little ones. Well, thanks for reading. I'll try and start blogging on a regular basis. Keep watching Fred and tell your friends!

Happy New Year

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted. I hope everyone's new year is off to a good start. I've been trying to keep up with my running even though it has been cold out. Now that we have snow on the ground for the first time all winter, I'll have to hit the treadmill and spinning bike more. My new dog "Titan" is turning out to be a great dog to run with. He actually runs behind me or next to me! Our other dog "Tazor" will pull you the entire time unless I come down hard on him to get him to run next to me. At 90lbs, he can do half of the work for me(or my wife) when running up a hill. Titan(5 months old) is only 45lbs, but I believe he will be bigger than his Daddy (Tazor) when he's finished growing.

Hoops

The hoops games have started. Every Tuesday we play 5 on 5 for 2 hours with a game off here and there. I have to say that the running I've been doing is paying off. I barely got winded. It was awesome! I ran 10 miles this past Sunday. Hopefully I can do that again this weekend. I'm not training for anything in particular now. I'm just challenging myself. Conditioning works!

New personal distance record

I ran 10.36 miles yesterday. I kind of amazed myself that I was able to run that far without stopping other than to cross at a crosswalk one time. (15 seconds) The more I ran yesterday, the easier it got and the faster I ran. I don't know why, but after mile 6, I started to pick up the pace. And by mile 8-9, I was running an unbelievable pace. Runner's high? I don't know. This is all new to me. If you know what that means, by all means tell me!

Finished!

My seven ton rock pile is no more! I finished it tonight. A weight off my mind. Next on the agenda, finishing my kid's clubhouse.

Bike Ride

I went on a field trip with my daughter yesterday. They rent bikes and ride the Katy Trail. It was an awesome way to spend the day. The weather was perfect. A great field trip experience for the students. Looks like the rest of the weekend will be just as nice.

I'm learning....

how to be a runner. I've always worked out, but never really liked running very much. I am making progress though. I started in the heat of July. I figured it had to get a little easier as the weather cooled. I ran 7.75 miles today. I like the challenge of trying something new.
