Dear Abs, See You Soon? Your Friend, Pete

I haven't seen you in a few years, where have you been?

2 posts in under 24 hours?

It was after 1 when I published the last post, and I was debating on shutting 'er down and going up to bed, or to go for a run.

I had to psyche myself out to do it since it was so late and I was pretty tired, but I'm more grateful for doing it. I told myself that this is the year that I make a return to the ring, but I've got to get in shape first and I've still got a long way to go. Skipping out on my run would mean another day that I'm not closer to the target.

I think that the last time we saw eachother was that time when the whole gang was together - 10k Run, 10 Rounds Pads...and Brown Rice and Grilled Chicken was there too!

I found that once I was a little warm, I didn't know what I was holding out for the whole time. Man, Nike's slogan of "Just do it" is so simple but holds true. So, I did it...and I feel better now. But I've got this runner's high that isn't going away anytime. Hope I start to crash before the sun comes up.

Will we see eachother before the summer? I know that you've been busy hanging out with your friends Cheeseburger, Pizza and General Tao, but I was hoping that we can get together and hang out awhile.

June, seriously?

That was the last time I posted.

In short, a big WTF for me...so many things have happened since then.

In sum,

Lex is now 11 months old, I'm on parental leave until the end of February (afternoon naps!), I turn 30 in a couple days, Southside still kickin' ass, Wes won another belt last October, Chilean miners, American Idol is back, Dre and Detox this year (!), and it's 1 in the morning and I am f'ing tired.
