On your marks...get set....GO!

I decided today that I will be training for a 5k. Thats right, I will be running a staggering 5k. Ok so thats only a little over 3 miles but still.

I started training today by running 1/2 mile. I was able to do such pretty much with ease, but afterwards noticed an increasing burn in my throat of all places. Now I'm not new to running what-so-ever, I loved to run in Reno and Portland but in Vegas its a different story. The air is more dense, it's dirtier, and its dry...the complete opposite of Reno and Portland. So getting used to the difference in the air is the only thing thats going to hold me back but I'm fairly confident that I will be acclimated to it come Saturday.

So watch out 5k here I come, and if anyone else wants in be my guest. You can read about it here.

Billy Crystal?

I'm sure a lot of you baseball fans out there remember when Garth Brooks was trying out to play pro baseball. Every so often we hear about stories like this, and today was no different. In case you didn't know...Billy Crystal will be playing for the Yankees in a spring training game this Thursday. Thats right, no its not some baseball player with the same name...It's Billy Crystal himself.

They say it's not for publicity but who are you kidding. You choke in the post season and rid yourself of the manager who took you places...and now you might be loosing some fans. So what do you do? Get a celeb to play ball for you. Thats what I would do at least. Best of luck to you Billy, but worst of luck to the rest of the Yanks.

If you don't believe me you can read it here.
