Mojo Man Lives
Hello, 
If a tree falls in the woods, and no one knows, does it make a sound? If a blog owner never blogs, and then he does, will anyone notice? I've been waiting for many months for a burst of consistant Mojo to strike me but it hasn't happened. So I'm here just to say hi and think in public. Who knows, maybe just typing some thoughts will help...
I have a new tool to help me with my extensive blogging - a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. It's SO much faster than the Pentium3 machine I had been using! Still trying to get this Vista thing to work for me completely, but I've resisted the urge to 'upgrade' to XP so far. Currently installing the first service pack so we'll see if that solves some of the issues.
Weight-wise, I've picked up a few more lbs over the winter. It's to the point now where I don't feel very comfortable running and that is very bothersome. I was going to run the Athens, OH half-marathon in April but realized that it wasn't gonna happen at this weight. So I'm going down anyway to cheer on my friend Kris. I have the pom-poms packed, and am training now to be a bandit and run her in to the finish line! But the Ride for MS is coming up, where I'm going to ride my bike (the one w/out the motor) 200 miles in two days; and I'm thinking about running a HM in Grand Rapids, MI a few months out. So it's really time to get Active and lose this extra weight! I was taken aback recently, by a picture I came across of when I hit goal (175 lbs) about 2.5 years ago (damn - I can't BELIEVE it was that long ago!). Here it is - if you've seen me recently the difference is VERY noticeable. And that has motivated me. We'll see if it's a sputtering kinda Mojo like many of the posts on this blog, or if I can sustain it. Wish me luck!
In other activities, I've gotten much better at pool the last couple years. I joined a league that plays every Wednesday and have a good partner in my buddy Larry. I've doubled my average and it's fun as I'm still improving. Now, I have to rent "The Hustler" and see how I can make this work for me! Every other Thursday is rFactor racing night, with a few friends (computer racing simulation). I own five steering wheels and only two are attached to cars.
And very soon, about a month out, Golf league starts up on Tuesdays. I can't wait for warm weather! It's been a long, cold and snowy winter in Detroit and I want to feel the warmth of the sun! Ah, it's not too far off before I can be rollin' in the pretty car with the top off, shades on, good music playin'...mmmmm...I can't wait!
