Running kind of behind on blogging today, but I had a reason. I finally am getting back on my workout routine.

My treadmill belt was shot about a month ago. Not like shot as in bullets, but shot as in shit. It didn’t work. I could get on the treadmill and I actually had a helluva workout from it. The problem was that the workout came because I had to try so hard to stay on it because as my foot would hit the belt, it’d stop. So it was go, stop. Go, stop. Every, step. Go, stop. Fuck, me.

So we ordered a new one and the guy was supposed to be out “soon as we can get it ordered.” Seems that that takes three weeks around here, which is weird since he said the belt comes shipped on a two-day service. Maybe the country is just getting more fit this year and people are wearing out their belts running on treadmills and now there’s a shortage. Whatever.

Anywho, the guy came out yesterday and got it fixed. So now I’m back on track. And I stole a great web resource from a friend, as I’m now using runkeeper.com as my way to track all my results. If you’re doing a exercise plan and trying to work out regularly for whatever reason (weight loss, just to feel better, whatever), you should give it a try.

I got a good run in today. It was only three miles in 28:23 with the last mile at 8:19 pace. But it felt really good. It was weird because not running more than once in the past three weeks, I figured it’d be a week before I could be back in normal running shape. So that was good.

And after I got my run on, we had dinner and I got sidetracked by a Holmes on Homes. Go figure.

So now that I’m getting after the blog, I don’t really know what I want to talk about. I guess I’ll just make it easier on myself and put in some of these things that I haven’t gotten to lately but wanted to mention. Take a couple minutes and enjoy. They’re train wrecks, but worthwhile….

—This one defies explanation. I really don’t think my cat can even do this shit, twisting every which way. But when you think you’ve seen the most disgusting yoga-like position, there’s a new one. My jaw was on the floor. And make sure that as you watch it, you keep an eye on the host in the background and his expressions. Hilarious.

—I love this commercial, but did you notice the dogs playing poker in the first 5 seconds of the open? No, then check it again. It’s just like the big famous wall rug. And here’s a cool write-up (even if it’s by a douche-bag) about the whole commercial.

–If this was 1992, I would be worried my name was in here. That’s a helluva tab for one party. I hope it was worth it, although I can think of at least three that I’ve thrown that would have been. 1) High school graduation, 2) New Year’s Eve 1989 (aka Circle Puke) and 3) New Year’s Eve 1992 (at our frat house, the Beer Garden, and me playing one song for six straight hours). If/when I write a book, these will have their own chapter. Hell, they may even come on a separate DVD.

–For all my Nebraska friends, you may or may not like this one, but it is pretty funny. For all my non-Nebraska friends, they’re really not all like this. It was made by a K-State fan, so take with a grain of salt.
