While focused on young girls, this film from Dove is eye opening and interesting.
Take a look:
This is a really good video, it says so much through the words and faces of the young girls. If we don’t change he message we are sending to kids, obesity isn’t the only problem that will reach epidemic proportions.

Look for my newest book review on CompleteRunning.com. This time around I reviewed a book by Andrew Sheehan titled, Chasing the Hawk: Looking for my Father, Finding Myself.
Here is a teaser:
The author of this book, Chasing the Hawk: Looking for my Father, Finding Myself, is Dr. Sheehan’s son Andrew, a self described alcoholic and drug abuser. This book is more than just a chronicle of growing up in large family in the shadow of a famous father. This is the story of…

Today I had a follow-up appointment with my Radiologist – that’s right, I have my very own Radiologist – to check on the stent that he placed in my aorta in February 2006. You can read about the whole thing here. Everything from that procedure is fine, no issues, everything looks great. However…
The CT scanologist (or what ever they call people who read CT scans) did notice is that I have a Bone Cyst on my left femur near my hip joint. This is, not coincidentally, also an area I have been having some pain while running. My radiologist told me to follow-up with my primary care physician and see what’s next. If you have no idea what a bone cyst is – I know I didn’t – you
can read about them at the following links:
Mine looks very similar to this one.
I’m not really sure what this means at this point. I’m trying not to panic and think the worst, but it’s hard not to. I guess I just have to follow up and find out – good or bad.
Wish me luck!
***Update!! I had an appointment with my Primary Care Doc yesterday (10/18/06) and he referred me to an Ortho (Bone) doctor for further evaluation. As a bonus, the doc I am going to see is also a sports medicine specialist. Hopefully, I’ll get some good information from her – not till November 3rd however. I’ll keep you posted! ***

I wrote an article for CompleteRunning.com detailing my recent marathon experience. I’m not going to put the whole thing here too, but I’ll give you a little taste:
On Sunday October 1, 2006, I ran my first marathon. The experience was exhilarating, exhausting, intense, fun, and rewarding. My family was there and supported me throughout the race and, without them, my finishing would have been in doubt. I struggled for the second half of the marathon (the hard half) and the positive words, cheering, and love coming from the crowd literally pushed me through to the end. To all the people (my family included) who spent the better part of a beautiful fall Sunday cheering on
thousands of strangers, I wholeheartedly thank you.Upon crossing the finish line…

I heard rumor that my dad found my blog!
Dad – I hope you know how much your love, understanding, and patience has meant to me over the years. You are the best father, grandfather, and friend anyone could hope for. I can only hope that I can be as good a dad to my kids as you have been to me.
Love you!
That’s my Dad, Mom and Alex (my son) on vacation this summer – they are the best grandparents too!
