Berbee Derby 2009

On Thanksgiving morning, I ran a 10K - the Berbee Derby in Fitchburg. I haven't done a lot of running lately, so it...was...rough! I'm honestly just glad that I finished the race without passing out.

My time was 55:39, almost 10 minutes more than my last run. Nevertheless, it was fun and I can see doing this run every Thanksgiving. It's really a great way to start the holiday weekend. Now if I can only get Amanda to run it next year...

Packers vs. 49ers

On Sunday, Zach, Shawsy, Jerry (Shawsy's brother-in-law) and I went to the Packers-Niners game. When we got to Shawsy's, he gave me a Punch in the Face, but he made up for it with a cinnamon role from Windsor Breads. Oh baby!

The game was entertaining and the weather was unseasonably beautiful. Green Bay played well for the most part - although they almost blew it - and won 30-24. Check out the highlights here.

Even more entertaining than the action on the field were the people in the seats around us. They spouted an abundance of cliched coach speak, and at the same time provided us with more "that's what she said-able" material than you could possibly choke down...

Before heading home, we stopped at Stuc's in Appleton for calzones - big freaking yum!

New Mexico

In late October, my staff and I went to Albuquerque for a conference. While we were there, we saw a bunch of cool stuff, ate a lot of good food and had a ton of fun. For photos and videos from the trip, check out my Facebook page.
