Half Marathon Results

My half marathon yesterday went very well. I completed it in 1:52:58 which is about 8:40 seconds a mile. I trained to get it under two hours so I was very happy. I finished 33rd in my age group and 240 out of 600 plus people. I looked at my watch and I ran a total of 276 miles and over 50 hours of training for this race.

My next race is going to be the tobacco road marathon on March. I am going to do the full race. Training starts in two weeks!

Best Animated Feature is...

I saw "Up" the other night and seeing as though Pixar has won 4 out of the 6 awards I doubt they will lose this one. I enjoyed this much more so than "Wall-E." The animation continues to improve with each year and the plot of "Up" was more enjoyable to me than was "Wall-E." It follows an older man as he struggles with life without his wife and fulfilling his dream of going to South America. He is content to let the dream die with him until he assaults an employee of the construction company trying to buy his house. As he begins, he realizes that he has a little boy who has been bothering him to get his last badge for his boy scout troupe. They both make the trip and encounter several adventures like a giant bird and talking dogs. I give this movie a 3 out of 5.

5 Reasons you know your run was too hard

#1-You started your run after 7 am which means the humidity has started to grab hold of you

#2-You have not been training on hills and then decided to stretch your long run out by an extra mile to 9 instead of 8

#3-Your dry fit shirt is so wet by the end of the run that you can ring it out

#4-You make the brilliant decision of eating a huge burger, fries, 2 pieces of b-day cake at Red Robin the night before

and #5-You drink 16 oz of G2 and a whole bottle of water when you get home and you still have lost 4 lbs of water weight

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

I went and saw this movie at the Drive-In in Henderson last week. 5 dollars for 2 movies. It was a lot of fun. Cheap food and drink. Ashley and I probably spent 20 dollars for two large popcorn, 2 drinks, and a candy. Anyway, on to the movie. I have read all of the books (twice) and I had higher hopes for this movie because I felt that the Harry Potter series was getting better with each movie. I thought this movie was pretty terrible. I was definitely disappointed. I know they can't put everything in the book in the movie but they even added scenes that made no sense at all. I still can't figure out why they did that.

The Harry Potter series has garnered only 6 nominations through the first 5 movies. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (#2) and "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" (#5) did not receive any nominations. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" (#4) was nominated for art direction (losing to "Memoirs of a Geisha"). "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" (#3) was nominated for for music score (losing to "Finding Neverland") and visual effects (losing to "Spider-Man 2"). I don't expect this to break into any of the major categories either. I would not see it again and I'd give it a 1.5 out of 5.
