From the first moment my skis hit the snow in Ruidoso last year I knew I had found a new passion. As we headed back towards San Antonio all I could think about was when I was going to be able to return. Over the next several months I read, watched, and learned everything I could about the sport. My enthusiasm grew so contagious that eventually Sarah's whole family wanted me to plan a group trip for the upcoming season. Given our nieces' and nephews' school schedules our timeline was early January so finding a ski area with good snow was a must. After weighing all the possible options I ultimately...

Coming Soon

Sarah and I signed up to run the Chosen Half-Marathon in New Braunfels, TX in support of her oldest sister's upcoming adoption. We did some basic training but not nearly as much as we would have liked. Our only goal for this race was to finish and both of us did much better than we expected.

When I originally heard that Formula 1 was coming back to the United States I got excited that someday I might be able to go to one of the races. When I learned that they would be building a state of the art track and hosting the race in Austin, Texas my excitement grew exponentially with the prospect of attending a race much sooner than I ever expected. Sure enough almost a year and a half later I was holding tickets for my fiancee and I to attend the Inaugural US Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas race track. Given that neither of us had ever been to a Formula 1 race, neither of us knew...

I've always been a fan of any and all forms of motorsport since as far back as I can remember. From go-karts to Formula 1, I love watching, learning, and partaking in every event I possibly can. NASCAR is no exception and early in 2010 when I realized that I had an upcoming open weekend coinciding with a NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway, I seized on the opportunity to attend! I purchased a cheap ticket on the backstretch through a local seller on craigslist and planned to drive up from San Antonio early in the morning on the day of the race. As the date drew closer however, rain loomed heavily...

Preface: I signed up for the Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon on March 31st, 2009. At that moment I had grand plans of training, exercise, and finishing with a respectable time in the Marathon World. I got off to a great start too, training five days a week the entire month of April. I had gone from never working out to being able to run five to six miles without much fatigue and I seemed to be on pace for big things. Then the day after the Spring Semester had ended, I arrived at the Rec to workout as usual but I was stopped at the door and I was informed that since I wasn't taking summer classes,...

Preface: After talking with one of my roommates (Brendan) who happens to be a Texans fan, we decided it would be cool to check out the 49ers vs. the Texans at Reliant Stadium in Houston, TX. Living in San Antonio, this was the closest place that I could go to see the 49ers play and doing so was something that I have always wanted to do.  Reporting live from Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas! Today's game is between the Houston Texans and my San Francisco 49ers! It promises to be quite a matchup! Updates as the game progresses! Game begins in 25 minutes (Noon)! Update (2:00PM) It's halftime...
