Ran a mile on the Pioneer Park trail after a workout at Anytime Fitness in Harlan, IA. My legs are a little tired, but I'm satisfied with my progress this week. I get to run in brand new scenery beginning Monday in West Des Moines, so I'm expecting to get in some fun long runs next week.
I'm officially excited for football. I usually think football gets too much press coverage during the off-season (and even too much during the season since the sport is largely confined to weekends, yet all seven days of the week [and all 24 hours of each of those days] are devoted to it). But with the Hawkeyes getting some love in all of the preseason polls and picks, it's hard not too get excited. And even though I'm a Packers fan, I really, really, really, really, really (REALLY) want Brett Favre back for the Vikings. When he's playing, I watch. I usually don't plan my day around sports, but there are a few events during the year that get 100% of my attention. The NBA Finals get it. The World Series gets it. The Super Bowl gets it. The MLB and NBA All-Star Games get it. A few college bowl games get it. Packers vs. Bears gets it. A Federer final gets it. Colts vs. Patriots get it. LeBron, Shaq, Duncan, and Steve Nash get it. And Brett Favre always gets it. He's too energetic, youthful, and memorable to not watch--at least that's how I feel about him.
