Results of My First 5k

I did it my first 5k! I did it in 25 minutes. Which is about an 8 minute mile. I am still training and I am going to do another one next month. We arrived at the race at about 7:30 a.m. more than two hours early for parking but we didn't need to and will not do it again. We signed up. And to be timed you have to zip tie a  little tracker to your shoe. After waiting around for what seamed like forever the race started. It was crazy with almost 3000 people racing. I pushed myself really hard and finished 490 something. I had a blast and will definitely be doing more in the future.  

The Call of Duty Franchise

If you didn't already know I love to play games on my xbox. One of my favorite game series has been Call of Duty. They have released eight games so far. The newest one recently released, Call of Duty Modern Warfare Three made over 400 million dollars in the first 24 hours and 775 million in the first five days. Breaking records for all types of media. And selling 3 billion dollars worth of games as of November of 2009. Call of duty was created by Ben Chichocki. And the first release was in 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_of_Duty

Running a 5k

I like running so a couple of weeks ago I decided to run a 5k on Thanksgiving. A 5k is only 3.1 miles which makes it a good run for beginners like me. I knew since I have never run before that I would have to train. So every day I run and do wieghts. I have been trying to eat healthier and drink lots of water. The event is put on by the YMCA and all the money goes to charity. So you can have fun and help out the community at the same time. I'll post an update of how it went after the race. http://ppymca.org/turkeytrot  

Starting A Business

My brother and I decided to start a snow shoveling business. He come up with the name Penguin Snow Removal. We made some flyer's and put them in our neighborhood. It didn't snow enough yet. But our neighbor who is about move away saw the flyer and asked if wanted there snow blower.



Even though it is older its alot better than using a shovel.

We are waiting for the next snow to be able to use it and hopefully make little money.

Some Cool Pictures From Breckinridge

Karsten trying to act cool.

This fox kept coming up to our back porch and begging for food.

This picture was taken later at night with a longer shutter speed. To let more light in the picture.
