My first 10K results

Clarendon Day 10K

Arlington, VA

Ran 9/25/2010

Place: 648 out of 1188
Time: 59:14
Mile Pace: 9:32

Not the best results ever (that mile pace is at least a minute slower than my normal 3 mile-ish runs). Nevertheless, I finally did one, and am ready to tackle another one...next year! haha

I love these type of stories:

NBA star does good...try not to get to misty.

The End of OIF.

I still felt my 6 months spent there was for the greater good, even if I didn't totally agree with the war. Remember all who have sacrificed within it's borders. :(

The end of Operation Iraqi Freedom

Who Dat...the President!

Sorry there hasn't been much action on here; but I did want to share this:

The Saints visited the White House today...so wish I could've been there. Or at least hang out by the White House with one of my jerseys on!

Haha...Saints ESPY commercial. Love it!

They are in!

There's still a part of me that wishes I could still be cheering on the US team right about now; but I'll still take this:



Ga Nederland!

Yep, this is sooo like my job:

A pick me up...

So, here I am getting love from Pacers Running Stores again:

"Brian Sell coming to Pacers & Crystal City Twilighter. Best Sell Moustache will receive a ridiculous amount of Brooks gear. You have one month - start growing. This one has Mikey Lynch all over it."

I love the fact my name is getting called out for all of Facebook to see. Now if you Google the guy you can see my dillemma...I can't actually connect my facial hair like he has it connecting on both sides from the 'stache to the chin. I may try though. lol

Rest in Peace girl. :(

Man it seems just like yesterday that I received the news about our dearly departed Puma (even though it's almost been 3 years since he has passed). And now comes word from the family that they had to put Misty down. Now granted I wasn't always the closest to her, since she arrived the year I graduated High School...but a family pet is such much more than the word "pet", they are a unconditionally loving member of the family. Rest in peace dear girl, I will dearly miss going to look for you (or her even greeting me), every time I make it back down to Yorktown to visit the family. I'm so grateful I was able to kiss the top of your head one final time last month. :(

You shoulda known...

...that once I joined Twitter again, that updates to the blog would be infrequent yet again.

Anyways, ran the Race for the Rainforest 5K today here in good old Arlington. Temperature @ race time was a very humid 80 degrees...but I still rocked it, but not with the best time ever. Massive hill near the start/finish slowed me down a bit, not to mention the aforementioned heat. Next on the dockett, 3 races in July!
