Retiring Early

Just received this email. Looks like I’ll be retiring early!
If you don’t see any new posts here for a while it’s because my family and I are living on the island I’m about to buy….

San Antonio Rock ‘n Roll Marathon and Half Marathon

On Sunday, the race I’ve been training for finally came.  Because of my 12 Mile Issue, my physical therapist said I would not be able to compete in the full marathon and could only run the half if I promised not to compete and just used the race as a fun, slow training run.  Up [...]

The morning of her delivery was [...]

12 Mile Issue – Update

Yesterday was my first day of physical therapy.  They confirmed exactly what I had suspected – that the 12 mile issue was a result of training that had been ramped up way too fast. Really, that was just a polite way for them to say that I obviously didn’t listen to my own common sense [...]

First Adventure Race in the Bag

Just realized I hadn’t posted a recap of the coolest race I’ve ever been in.  Gotta warn you though, this is a little bit of a long read – so if you’re at work, and bored, sit back and relax.  Here’s your recap:
The race was held at the Flat Rock Ranch in Comfort, TX.  This [...]

I’ve got a 12 mile issue.

It’s an issue with my ankles, knees and hips.  It’s an issue that’s not really new, just different in how it’s started happening lately.  It’s a frustrating issue. It’s an issue that has me nervous about the marathon next month.  And, it’s an issue that I can’t seem to find a fix for.

Obama was right – Beanarita.com is back!

Near Death Experience in Grand Cayman

I hadn’t posted in a while so I thought I would catch everyone up on the latest happenings…
Just got back from a vacation on Grand Cayman Island – it was awesome. White sand beaches, crystal clear water. It was very relaxing and a ton of fun, and I almost died. That’s right. [...]

IT’S A GIRL!!!

What Category Does Beanarita.com Fall Under?

I have no idea. You have no idea. No one else has any idea. But does it really matter?
When I first started playing around with this site, my intention was simply to teach myself a little more about web development and basic coding while providing more technical people with a laugh at [...]

Unicycle Man!

Every so often when I’m riding the trails around OP Scnhable Park I see this guy and am amazed every time.

In the video below, he just rides a simple circular route so I could get a sample video for Beanarita.com. -Normally when I see him he’s flying down the trails, climbing over boulders and [...]

The Music Behind BeanaritaShirts

There once was a band called Cinderleaf…then they were called June…then they went to The Cinderleaf. Then they decided to stop playing…then they decided to stop playing for good (actually announced over the radio that they would never play again)…then they played one more show. And then a couple more.

This weekend I’m hanging out in Shreveport (north Louisiana). Check out the new member of our family:

The wife is pregnant!

In the picture above, the baby is 11 weeks and a few days along. Sorry, the scanner I used is garbage so the image quality is bad. The white fuzzy thing you can barely see above the head is it’s hand. When we were watching this on the monitor at the Dr.’s office [...]

The Dreaded Oink

Ok. Wash your hands more, take vitamins, ignore the media and all will be fine. The Dreaded Oink will pass just like the regular flu does every season.
