Updates

Sorry I am the lamest. As in I can't seem to update my blog regularly if my life depended on it. Lets do a run down of updates shall we?
I am up to 80.6 lbs gone. Completely forever and ever gone. It rocks. Did I say I lost EIGHTY POINT SIX POUNDS yet? I lost 80.6 pounds!
I have a new job. It is just like my old job. In fact it was classified as a lateral move. Location has changed (but still in West Des Moines), and I am very happy with the changes. I miss my old team and the people I worked with but I am beyond excited to start this new chapter.
I am run, run running. I have been training for a 10K. And I have gotten up to 5.5 miles of straight running without stopping. 10K is 6.2. My race is 8/31/13 in MN. I am pretty excited for it.

That about does it for this post. Look for some more updates!

When the terminators take over this is the moment I will look back on...

Did you ever know it was once a dream of mine to be able to "live off the grid"?  I think it would be putting it mildly to say there was a time in my life where took the Terminator movies a bit to seriously, and during this time I recognized that someday because of the takeover of machines I would need the skills to live off the grid. Unfortunately I pay my taxes, do practically everything electronically, and maintain 4 or so social networking sites, including this blog. So not so stealthy with the off the grid living after all. What really hammered the final nail into the coffin was the need to be finger printed as part of a background check for my new job. Now for sure I am stuck in the traceable world. But on the upside I am gainfully employed! So you win some, you lose some.
