I'm Back!

So my other passion in life is also my other full-time job. I am the Coordinator of Football Operations and Equipment Manager at the local Community College. I have been getting workouts in but now that fall practice is in full swing I am working six days a week, 10-12 hours a day with two of those hours consisting of practice in the hot African summer sun!! I will get in as many workouts as I can and update with stats at the end of this week. I guess you could consider practice as my second workout of the day LOL.

26 miles 385 yards

As I am fast approaching my 40th birthday I have started to review things I had wanted to accomplish in my life. Given my decision to improve my health and fitness, activities that fall in this arena have been in the forefront of my mind. It's time to cross two more items off the bucket list. The weekend prior to my 40th birthday I am going to go skydiving. It is something I have always wanted to do but was unable to most of my adult life due to physical limitations. Now that those barriers have been busted through there is no time like the present to hop in a perfectly good airplane and take the leap!! I have also always wanted to complete a marathon.

Family fun

Jason Heath & the Greedy Souls

Spent the day with family and had a great time. This afternoon I visited my brother and his family which includes my nephew Asher, who is soon to be the cutest three-year old on the planet! It was nice to catch up and I was also able to visit with my cousin Kim who lives near them. Then it was off to The Echo in Echo Park to catch the record release performance of Jason Heath & the Greedy Souls, a band that my cousin Will is a member of(he's the tall guy on the right playing the stand up bass). Their sound is a bluesy, folk and rock combination that is very unique and they are very good. Thier album "Packed for Exile" is available Tuesday. You can check them out here.

Light it up!

Took a Hike

So I'm on vacation and since I have really wanted to get out and so more, I decided to visit a local spot in the Angeles National Forest and go for a hike. I had a really great time. see the pictures here.

Get fit and get out!

So one of the reasons I wanted to improve my fitness is to get motivated to do more things. This weekend I gave someone a ride to the airport on my way to a birthday party. I had about an hour or two to kill so I did a quick internet search for things to do near the airport. I stumbled upon a really cool spot. The Automobile Driving Museum.
