A Day of New Beginnings
by Matt Jones @ 11:00 pm. Filed under Blue Blooded Opinions, News You Can Use
Today is May 1. When you think of May 1, what do you think of? The beginning of Spring? Derby week? The official elimination of the Kansas City Royals from the playoffs? I actually had no real thoughts about May 1, until recently. But from now on, May 1 will always be a day of new beginnings to me.
You see beginning today, Matt Jones and Kentucky Sports Radio, are about to undertake the start of two large productions. First, I Matt Jones, am beginning a 15 week training session to build up to run a half-marathon in New Brunswick, Canada in August. Now you may read that sentence and think there are lots of oddities held within it. And you would be correct. If you know me, you know that running a half-marathon is not something that you would likely have forseen me doing. I dont like to run and am not in great shape, thanks to a couple of years of having DVR digital recording on my cable. But, I have decided it is time to change that, and training for a half- marathon will do it. Those who know me well insist I wont complete it. The best percentage chance of any of my friends that i will complete it is 30%. But I insist it will happen and May 1 begins the journey.
Okay, I was going to wait until the actual end of the 15 weeks of alotted training time before I brought this back up. However, Matt may be on the actual trip where this distance event ws SUPPOSED to be completed and miss all the fun at his expense I hope this "reminder" will create. While the trip may be completed, 13.1 miles on foot will surely not-unless somehow the metric system up there converts miles to myspace. I held true to not make fun until it became painfully obvious the futility of this attempt. Much like Cystal Pepsi Matt, the time is now, its your tommorrow. Maconvolfan, Mike Jones, Sexual Ninja, and the countless others who personally know our beloved moderator, please feel free to share your thoughts and original odds on Matt's inner Kenyan.
