Yesterday was another day of the same ol routine. Minus the workout. I took the day off.

I did get an update about the Talladega Halloween Party that I’ll be taking pictures at. It is on Halloween, and this event is well after the Saturday race, so I won’t get to watch any racing (which is good). I want to save the race watching experience for April 2010. Also, I found out that Dale Jr. will be there, and we believe that we’ll be taking pics of Dale Jr in one tent, and the Zac Brown Band in the other tent. Details still aren’t set in stone, so we might end up shooting people in costumes. However, I know we’ll be shooting the concert. No matter what happens (except for rain), it’ll be fun. Here’s the info on the concert: http://www.talladegasuperspeedway.com/This-Is-Talladega/Entertainment/Concerts.aspx — If you have a ticket to the AMP 500, you can go to the concert. So, if you’re reading this, and you’re going to this event, please let me know. I would like to meet you. We have a local “project manager” that is going to give us the details on where we need to be, and they have to send us credentials to get in. But, we do have a firm confirmation that we’ll be photographing the event. Also, I’m still waiting to find out if we can use the pics that we take because I want to post some of the pics on my blog.

Last night I hung out with the running group. A large group (of crazy people) ran 4 miles IN THE RAIN. That’s not for me. Instead, I went in the restaurant we were meeting at, and ate a steak. I was hungry, and nobody mentioned the run, they just said that we were meeting for t-shirts. They didn’t have my size, which is no biggie (pun). I’m used to it. I’ve actually created a shirt “hall of fame” at my office. These are shirts that I’ve been given and can’t fit into. Let’s see, I’ve got the 2x autographed Moses Smith (NASCAR driver) shirt, Wordcamp Birmingham 2x shirt, The Terminal 2x shirt, Susan G Komen Race for the Cure shirt 3x, and Changing Spaces Moving 4x polo. If I could wear the Moses Smith shirt, I wouldn’t wear it because you just don’t wear autographed shirts. Also, the Changing Spaces Moving shirt was given to me by Joe Planson and family. CSMI is one of my customers, and we always joke about my closet office. Their server is in a little (I’m talking tiny) closet with a table and chair.

Back to the meet up with the running group, Danny (our coach) was right about “the group”. I am getting to know the runners better, and their stories are so motivating. Last night, they they were discussing all of the events they’ve been in. Were talkin 5ks, 10ks, half-marathons, marathons, and iron mans. Hearing about all of this encourages me to keep losin and eventually start running. I’m still amazed at how these fit runners love to throw down with beer. I have made an executive decision that I will join in the celebrating after the 10k. Meaning, I’m finally going to have some beer. I’ve been wanting one lately, so I will treat myself after the 10k. The only rule is that I have to walk the entire race.

Finally, this morning I am about to go buy some tires for the truck. One of my customer’s owns a tire shop and they are giving me a deal on a set of Goodyears. It’s a deal, but it’s still expensive.  Also, I’ve already done my workout this morning.

Have a great Friday!!
