11/11 Update
Happy Memorial Day...Today was a bit of a happy day for me as I found out I was 1 of the every10minutes Pepsi/Mountain Dew promo, winning an XBox360. They sent me 5 shirts & hats in the mail with a coupon for 24 free pepsi product cans and a postcard saying I will soon get the shipment date info. It will have Madden NFL 06 and Need for Speed Most Wanted included as games. Not much has happend with me lately as I have been busy with school and being a photographer for our school's athletic teams-mainly mens/women's water polo. Now that the season are ending and there is just basketball until February I need to search for a job that fits around my 2 college class/days schedule. After sending out a bit of attempts to random companies looking for racing sponsors I barely got any 'at this time we cannot sponsor your efforts' notes, I guess companies get too many and wants some stats but don't seem to care to reply to letters. Thanks NoFear for offering me a clothing endorsement, too bad I couldn't use it.
Congrats Carrie
Congrats to Carrie Underwood on being the newest big star out of Oklahoma and the American Idol winner. Last night I barely got any sleep in looking forward to showing my support at the tonight Leno Show. I had great seats in the lowest row in the middle but was dissapointed when the camera crews moved in and block many of the audience member views so I barely saw her and she barely saw me wearing my Tahlequah (Oklahoma) Tigers shirt and waving a small Oklahoma flag which I was eventually told to put away. Hopefully on my month long trip next week I can meet her sometime at an NSU appearance unless she's too busy with more tv deals.
16.2 Miles of Pain and courage
(Full story will be reposted soon) After starting out around a 10:30 minute mile pace, with the bathroom food and pain breaks I ended up having a 14:55 pace in the 2005 LA Marathon. Finishing in 6 hours, 19 minutes, and 46 minutes I battled knee pains starting at mile 10.
