Orange County Eco Mud Run - Part 1

2010 Orange County Eco Mud Run

I have officially committed to participation in the 2010 Orange County, CA Eco Mud Run. I believe this is run 2 of 4 in the series, but I will be doing this one. My training regimen should adequately prepare me for the grueling course that will consist of hot California sunshine, mud, tunnels, obstacle course, cargo net crawls and walls to jump. I plan to train to the unique requirements of this race by, training on the treadmill, running on the beach and some obstacle course work. I will also commit to watching my diet. Time to run = 32 days.

This will be one of many posts in a series to document a champion and his endeavor, hardship and success, and a mighty support team. I have set some attainable goals in which to measure my success:

Achieve a body mass index (BMI) of between 18.5 - 24.9. Currently 25.62
Lose 5 pounds.
Finish the race.
Have fun.

Huntington Beach, CA Bans Beer Pong

The city is to ban alcohol games for new businesses downtown or those renewing their entertainment licenses. “It’s an alcohol game that encourages excessive drinking,” said police Capt. Chuck Thomas. “We did not believe that type of game was in the best interest of the community.”

I only pose one question. Will this prevent people from drinking excessively? Really?

Pardon Me, Sir Have You Seen My T-bag

I was golfing two weeks ago in beautiful Southern California. We were standing by our carts waiting to tee off. No lie, a man walks up and asks us if we have seen his t-bag. I could barely contain my laughter. We all looked at each other to assess how funny the situation was. Then my outspoken friend told him it was on his nose. At first, I wanted to be respectful; I was raised better, but my humor got the best of me and my friends shared in my dilemma as we laughed loudly. The man, now realizing the alternative meaning to his question, and playing it back in his head as he looked slightly upward, was completely embarrassed, but laughing at himself.
