Booyah.

Being a man is hard work. For some people. Not for this guy.

Anyway, enough on that subject. I realized today that poor September didn't get a blog post from me. She deserved one, but I just had nothing I wanted to blog about. I traveled to a few new cities here recently: Salem and Raleigh. I also spent a few days in Denver. I really liked Oregon. Denver is the slightly more liberal Salt Lake, so I like it, and Raleigh... Well.. It's just not for me. I can't believe I lived in NC for 3 years. Granted, I was young, and lived on the military base, so... It's a different story.

I'm starting to feel Bad for October. Should have given her a better first blog post. I'll make this commitment though. I'll follow up and post one blog while in NY/NJ next week. Then one in Nashville the week after. I've got to post about Ragnar, obviously.

Oh. Here's something cool: I ran 8 miles tonight. In 1hour 25minutes. Furthest distance, and longest time ever spent running. I'm that much closer to getting to a half marathon. I think I'll be able to officially run one by the time late winter / early spring comes around. I'll practice this winter on the treadmill. The goal is 10 miles a week, which I think will soon get pushed to 15. I still hate running, I'm just learning to respect it.

I also applied for a new job! I've been looking for new and exciting opportunities, and one happened to come up at eBay! Win-win! I might be able to do something new and exciting, and I get to stay with the company that I love! Heck, I've been here nearly 5 years, why not try to stretch that out for a few more!

Wish me luck, I really really really want the new position!

Oh, any "you're greats!" "You're awesomes!" would be appreciated. Completely unnecessary, because I know already, but, still appreciated.

October didn't get a bad first post after all!
