As a preface to this story I wanted to share that at the start of this year, I could barely run a mile. This past August 14th, I finished my first ever half marathon. I traveled thirteen point one grueling miles through the streets of downtown Chicago along with over fifteen thousand people.
Had great seats last night so I got some great shots. I'm putting these out under creative commons share-alike non-commercial license.
This year I decided that I was finally going to get into really good shape. So I started with a couch to 5k program, and jumped right in. This along with working with a personal trainer, I've made humongous strides in my physical fitness.
Well C2E2 is over and done with. But oh man, was it a blast! Aside from a short time at a comic/manga convention in Florida years ago, this was my first time at a true comic con.
Inspired by a similar post on KevinRose.com, I'm setting out my goals and resolutions for 2011 here. So next year I can come back to this post to see what I've actually accomplished.
Last week I took Dani for a date night down to Navy Pier to see the tall ships festival. Being from Boston, she had see tall ships several times in her life before, but this was a first for me. It was a really neat experience.
