Second City Comedy
Very Entertaining and Funny. A friend and I had a very good time. Ate dinner at Macaroni Grill beforehand. I had ';Mama's Trio" Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Cannelloni. I had one glass of wine
and a beer later. I woke up with a horrible headache.

New York Marathon?
I'm going to share an email I sent to a friend today and part of my dream last night.
"Speaking of New York I had a dream last night about running what I assume was another Marathon, a friend of mine who hasn't ran a Marathon but is a avid runner (been running for 18 years) was running with me. My dad was there cheering me on too and there were some weird visuals along the road like a dead female lion or giant wild cat of some sorts beheaded floating in the sewer on the side of the road. WEIRD and disturbing! I woke up shortly after that. For some reason when I woke up I thought about running the New York Marathon. This may of occured during the dream I was in the half awake half asleep stage. I haven't heard about the New York Marathon other than I watched the later part of it this past fall. Haven't really thought about New York other than you and your family being there. I saw an ad for a Men's Health Urban triathlon (run, bike, stairs) I have been contemplating about.
I was curious if there was any symbolism to a lion being in my dream. I found this except from Webster's Dictionary Ten Thousand Dreams Interepted.
"To dream of a lion, signifies that a great force is driving you.
If you subdue the lion, you will be victorious in any engagement.
If it overpowers you, then you will be open to the successful attacks of enemies.
To see caged lions, denotes that your success depends upon your ability to cope with opposition."
Maybe I can see the lion as a force I conquered by me finishing the Marathon that is why she is dead on the side of the road being washed away in the sewer.
Oddly enough my dad showed me an article in Wall Street Journal about Tour De Everywhere about Multi day Bicycle Tours like Tour De France poping up all across the US. There is even one planned for Missiouri next year WOOHOO!. It made mention of Lance Armstong in the title of the article. My dad told me that he heard that Lance Armstrong is going to run in the New York Marathon this fall. I looked it up http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=2414546 on November 5th. Oddly enough I get 5 days extra vacation on Nov. 1st. I have a lot of respect and admiration for Lance Armstrong. He is one of my sport idols I guess you could say. Many signs pointing to me to running in the New York Marathon."
I'm sitting on the submit button! I filled out the application and got to the last page where it says $116.00 in non refundable processing and entry fee will be charged. WOW that is a little high and its unrefundable unless I'm not accepted then I get $107 back. This race hosts 35,000 people in New York so I can see why the high cost. I think I might think on this a little. I went to the site just to check it out thinking I better apply sooner rather than later especially with Lance's announcement. Because everyone doesn't get to run in this you have to be accepted. I'm going to think about this and look into it a little more.

New Addition to the Blog Del.icio.us Links on Right Sidebar
I had been checking out different blog tools to easily share links. I looked at blogrolling.com and del.icio.us which were both advised by different friends. I went with del.icio.us because it has an easy to use plugin for your browser (I use firefox) they seemed to be more professional and a better packaged product than blogrolling. I had a lot of difficulty adding links to their system. Del.icio.us is easy because I just click the tag button on my browswer I can add notes and tags which my visitors can see.
Check it out!

D Day -1 - Pre Marathon
Well I haven't blogged in awhile because I've been busy dating and rather depressed about the workout/training for the Marathon. The injury I received from the St. Patricks Day run has persisted. I went to the Dr. and he confirmed a couple weeks ago I had tendonitis. I still have it and its not any better. I haven't trained much at all since the St. Patricks day run because of it. I ran 4 miles Wednesday and my right knee began to burn about 1/2 mile into the run and continued to burn up till mile 4. The burning progressively spread up my leg.
A week after the injury I was icing it like crazy. I even have these ice packs that stay cold for 8 hours(kind of) and I would strap it on my knee and go to bed. I have one strapped on my knee right now.
I'm going to take 3 advil an hour before I begin the run. I'm contemplating walking at the beginning then doing a run walk, where I would run for 2 minute walk for 2 minutes. Then maybe after 5 or 10 miles or when I'm sick of doing that I'll do my flat out run. Of course I don't want to look like an idiot in walking at the beginning of a Marathon. I'm going to wing it. My original plan was to run the whole thing (WHICH I COULD OF DONE!) in 4 hours and 30 minutes or better. I'm pissed because I spent 6 months training for this and then it went to shit. I ran 20 miles I could of ran 26.2 no problem damit! I'll be lucky to finish under 5 hours. People walk Marathons in 7 hours. Professional Marathoners run it in 2 hours. An average Marathoner runs it in 3 - 3 1/2 hours.
A lot of people said don't bother, I shouldn't run, think about my longevity, don't be to bull headed or macho to stop if it hurts. Tomorrow is going to be painfest 2006 I'm not stopping until the tendon pops off or snaps. Me and the Iliotibial Band are going to go a few rounds mano a mano.
