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.

Isn’t that comforting?

The Big Lebowski: Are you employed, sir?

The Dude: Employed?
The Big Lebowski: You don’t go out looking for a job dressed like that? On a weekday?
The Dude: Is this a… what day is this?
The Big Lebowski: Well, I do work sir, so if you don’t mind…

The Dude: I do mind, the Dude minds. This will not stand, ya know, this aggression will not stand, man.

The Big Lebowski: What makes a man, Mr. Lebowski?
The Dude: Dude.
The Big Lebowski: Huh?
The Dude: Uhh… I don’t know sir.
The Big Lebowski: Is it being prepared to do the right thing, whatever the cost? Isn’t that what makes a man?
The Dude: Hmmm… Sure, that and a pair of testicles.

So, I’ve been dropping my cell phone a lot lately and I thought it might be handy to have CIS or cellular impact restraints. Kinda like airbags for cell phones. Well, that’s just crazy, but what if the outside of the phone was made out of bouncy balls? What do you think?

I don’t know why I do this before I fly or SCUBA dive. I freak myself out a little.

This post is very close to my heart and, as such, may be misunderstood. If you have a country music background, you might get it. Please begin by preparing the following link.

I’m the son of a 3rd generation squatter
I’ve been sittin’ right next to the company’s plotter
I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ keyboard driver
Hoggin’ up the road on my m-m-m-mouser
Chug a lug a luggin’ 5 words an hour
On my Relational Databaser

Three miles of cars layin’ on their horns
Iphone shines like ears of corn
Lined up behind me like a big parade
Little Jerry and road raged jerks
Shoutin’ obscene words flippin’ me the bird (no pun intended)

Well you may be on a boot that’s cold
But that backup runs through my payload
Excuse me for tryin’ to do my job
But this year ain’t been no Microsoft
If you don’t like the way I’m a drivin’
Get back on the internet
Otherwise sit tight and be nice
And quit yer honkin’ at me that way

Chorus:
Cause I’m a son of a 3rd generation squatter
I’ve been sittin’ right next to the company’s plotter
I got 2 boys in the county 4-H
My sweet Daughter wants tacos today
Hay! That’s what I make
I make a lotta hay I’m a DBA
But I’m proud to say
I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ keyboard driver
Hoggin’ up the road on my a m-m-m-mouser
Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 words an hour
On my Relational Databaser

Well I know you got your own deadlines
But cussin’ me ain’t savin’ no time hoss
This high-bandwidth wide load ain’t goin’ any faster
So just smile and wave and tip your hat
To the DBA up on the tractor

Cause I’m a son of a 3rd generation squatter
I’ve been sittin’ right next to the company’s plotter
I got two boys in the county 4-H
My sweet Daughter wants tacos today
Hay! That’s what I make
I make a lot of hay I’m a DBA
But I’m proud to say
I’m a God fearin’ hard workin’ keyboard driver
Hoggin’ up the road on my m-m-m-mouser
Chug a lug a lugin’ 5 words an hour
