It's been a crazy few weeks since my last entry. I've got a constant smile pasted on my face with all the stuff happening around me. Some quick notes...

--Finally hit 26 miles in one day! On December 2, I did 26.35 miles in 3 hours & 46 minutes. I believe the old qualifying time for the Boston Marathon was 3 hours, 40 minutes. I'm sure I can work on this time if I work on my pace and try running on a flat area. I'll never forget the run. I traveled from Downtown San Diego, to University past the 15 freeway. From there I made my way into Balboa park and I ended my run on Broadway after enjoying the Convention Center, Seaport Village and the Star of India. Now I feel like I can do anything and my mind is dizzy trying to figure out what to do next--surf? skateboard? snowboard? become a DJ? Words escape me...I didn't get any cramps or suffer any pain. I even went out that night to enjoy some great House music.

--I beat Phil in the Nike+ iPod 120 mile challenge. I did it in two weeks. What's cool with Nike is they declared us both winners after Phil finished his 120 miles. I seriously don't feel like I'm 37.

--I looove to dance. Ever since I danced to Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" for a school show at the age of five, I've been hooked to dance floors. I try to hit one at least twice a week. It helps that I had a great time during the Rave scene. I don't care if the dance floor is empty...just play something with a beat and I'll be happy. Very happy.

--I'm having a great time doing a lot of freelance work. I haven't been able to work on my profile as much--as soon as my schedule clears, I'll have this page done. I've slipped some new stuff in (that you probably haven't noticed). The Newsweek photo is actually a Flash file that loads a random photo each time. Stuff like that....

--I try and make time each day to play a few videogames. Zelda, Phantasy Star, and Ridge Racer 6 are rocking my world.

Oops...I wrote a book.
