Yeah. Im running 16 miles tomorrow. I took the day off tomorrow because I just needed a little break. I am off 2 weeks from my master's program and I thought I would take a day off and enjoy a three day weekend. So what do I do, I plan a 16 miler. I am supposed to run this on Sunday, but I decided that since Mrs. H and I have a party to attend on Saturday night, there is no way I will feel up to

Yep. You read that right. Motorists suck...to me...a runner. I've been running a long time and I can't tell you the number of times I've almost been taken out during a run. Tonight was no different. A lady was looking to cross traffic at an intersection, and as with most motorist, was only looking one way when leaving her stop, and she wasn't looking my way. Fortunately, I've learned the habit of

So I ran tonight. Uggh...I wouldnt call it running so much. I would call it 'wading through mud.' Ive taken almost three weeks off from running. Ive run once in that time. And I havent cared. I really haven't. I love to run. But lately, I havent cared whether I run or not. Is that bad? I suppose it is. I ran so much this spring, that I think I became burnt out on it. So I gave it the old college

So today was a beautiful day in Northern Ky. It was warm, sunny, little or no humidity; an all around great day. So Mrs. H. and I worked most of the day on the closet remodel project that we have been working on for a while. We are almost done. We have a few more panels and then trim to put up, and the closet will be finished. I am excited for this to happen.So we decided to head out to dinner to

These are just a few pics that Mrs. H and I have taken over the last two days with our new Pentax. I hope you enjoy.

So...my sister asked me if I could shoot her wedding in the fall. I told her I would have to think about it a bit. So i did. Actually, more than a bit. I thought about it for a while and considered the pros and cons of such a venture. I decided that the pros outweighed the cons and said yes to shooting my sisters wedding...still photography that is. I've never shot a wedding before. I have with a

For our convenience, I have set up a Flickr account to store all of our photos in one space. So, if you would like to take a look at our New Orleans pictures, just click on the Flickr badge on the right, and then scroll through the pictures. Enjoy.

So...this is where im at with our master closet. Finishing up the insulation. Essentially, my father and I are looking to complete the rehab of the master closet im hoping within another month or so. All i need to do is finish insulating and tear down some old plaster and lathe. Weve insulated 80% of the room and have run electrical as well. We still need to mount the switch and put up walls.

So Mrs. H and I returned from New Orleans yesterday. We had a wonderful trip. We really enjoyed the half-marathon, and more importantly, the much warmer weather. Also, the lack of snow was a treat. We got to eat at Mother's, which was featured on Man vs. Food just recently. We had some great seafood at a restaurant in Belle Chase. We got to watch the Cavs and the Super Bowl on Sunday, and then we

Yep. Back to work for me today. It was a fun two days off. The snow is here to stay though. We arent supposed to get above freezing for a week. So Cincinnati, the White Death is here to stay for a bit.I sure could get used to working two days a week. I worked Monday, Today, and then I'm off for vacation tomorrow to New Orleans for a week. I CAN'T...and emphasize CAN'T...wait to head south for a

So I didn't have work today. The snow won. Which I don't mind at all. It was a nice day to hang out with the dogs and get some housework done. The dogs and I got out in the snow today and played. I took them on a long walk today and I let them play in the snow. I think Rhoda and Sherman both enjoyed themselves.Unfortunately, for tonight, we are supposed to have some bad ice, which we are getting

So today is a pretty big day for me. I end two terms today. I got the opportunity to teach Intro to Broadcast production which the final project was due today. As well, I am in school working on my Master's degree. My Managerial Law class ends today also. So, I'm ending two terms that I'm involved in on the same day. The fun thing is, if I teach next term, my new Master's class as well as my new

I went running this morning. It was my long run today, a week out from the race next weekend. I ran 11 miles today in 1:20:00. A 7:15 pace. Not too bad. I felt good this morning. Everything was working properly. I'm good to go.It was a mostly uneventful run, except for one little story.I get to mile 5 or so. Im pacing out pretty well, when out of nowhere a local policeman pulls up from in front

So Mrs. H. and I are one week out from our first race of the season. I ran 5 miles in 35:30 today, and I felt good about that. That was followed by jumping rope, abs, arms, and back. I felt great today running, and feel that I am almost ready for my 13.1 next Sunday. Im running 10 tomorrow, to see how a double digit miler will do. I just wish, it was a little warmer outside.I finished today a

So this is a little diddy that I shot two years ago for my city of Bellevue, Kentucky. We were entered into a contest to win a big prize from Ikea to upgrade our storefronts. I shot this and entered it into the contest. We didn't win, but it was fun just getting to shoot a video and meeting some great people in the community. Its nice to watch it again and realize how nice my town is.

So...Mrs. H. has a soft spot for kitties now. Especially kittens. Especially kittens that don't have a home. I suppose volunteering two nites a week at two different shelters will do that to a person. This little kitty doesn't have a home YET! And YET! is very important to ME!. This is the little kitten that has been living in a crate on our third floor for the past week. It's a nice little

So this is our new "child," Sherman. He is allegedly a two-year old Boston Terrier. There are two things wrong with this declaration.1) There is no way he is over one year old and2) He HAS to have some boxer in him...maybe.He is a loving, happy, little dog.He is smart as a whip.He eats fast.He loves his toys.He likes his sister...who may or may not like him.He passes gas like its his business.For

So...I tried out my new Nike+ running stat tracker last nite, and it was exceptional for the most part. What I found out by using it is that Im running MUCH faster than what the treadmill is telling me. I tend to run faster than the treadmill belst, so last nite, according to my new iPod device is that I finished 5.05 miles in 33.18. A 6:36 pace. The treadmill told me that I had only finished

For Christmas, my sis-in-law got me a Nike+ running device. (Thanks Rach). Its a fun little device that is meant to be used with an Ipod Nano to keep stats, track distance, and keep time of a runner's workout. It seems pretty user friendly, if you know how to use an Ipod. I think whats cool about the device is that when you sync it up with iTunes, you can download your stats and post it to the

Mrs. H and I are travelling to New Orleans to run the Mardi Gras Half-Marathon again. We ran it last year, and it was a really good race. The course takes you throughout the city, starting out through the French Quarter, winding through City Park, and then finishing up back downtown. I have a little bit of unfinished business to settle this year. See, at about mile 10 last year, I was cut off by

So I'm working on my Master's Degree at IWU and last night was the last class for this current course. Our final presentation was a team project that we worked on as consultants for a firm that was working to become an IPO. Our presentation went very well and we worked very well together as a team. This was our first team project together, and I am happy with how things went. Let's hope things
