Photo Finish

With 2008 coming to a close, I just couldn't help but post this famous photograph of me getting edged out by the great Michael Phelps. What a close race and a disappointment, but kudos to Michael.

Bush In Iraq

Last Sunday, I was in Iraq visiting the troops. I heard President Bush was going to be making an appearance so I stopped by to listen in. I am sure many of you have seen the video multiple times and noticed me in the background catching the shoe. What the video doesn't show is after I caught it, I threw it back at the journalist, which knocked him out, allowing Secret Service members to contain him.

Checking Out

Today I was released from the hospital and given permission to exercise lightly. I don't think the doctors appreciated me popping wheelies down the hallway. Thanks to my good friends Jim Harris and Joe Novicky for lending a helping hand.

Serious Fall

This past weekend I ran in the NEO Trail Club event URINEO held at Mill Creek Park. You can run as many 8.3 mile loops around the park as you wish. I started at 5 AM, without a light, and only the full moon to guide me. Unfortunately during the first loop, I tripped on a rock and went down hard. After examining my hand, I was surprised to see that a nail on the trail pierced through my right index finger. I knew I would need surgery, so I finished my 50K then ran over to St. Elizabeth's to get it removed!

Ouch!

These doctors were great! I didn't feel anything!!
