Just heard from our friends in Wisconsin that they will be having a baby boy to add to their family. The baby is due in December. Congratulations Carrie and Terry!!!!!

After 11 hours and 5 minutes over three days on court, John Isner of the U.S. finally beat Nicolas Mahut of France 70-68 in the 5th set.

This match broke every record in the books including crushing most aces by a played in a match. Each man is the only players ever to record over 100 aces.

The length of the fifth set alone was longer than the previous record for the longest match.

Just an awesome match and something we likely won’t see again. A great reason not to have tiebreakers in the fifth set!

Unreal! John Isner and Nicolas Mahut have been playing for over 10 hours over 2 days. The fifth set alone has lasted almost 7 hours.

Just amazing. Play will be resumed tomorrow for day three!!

What a sports day so far. After watching the amazing USA soccer match this morning that saw them and England throught to the 2nd round of the World Cup, turned over to watch some tennis.

They were showing Isner vs. Mahut which started yesterday but was suspended due to darkness after the 4th set. They started playing the fifth set this morning something like 5 hours ago! The score is 45-45 in the fifth. This match has set every tennis record possible; length, points, aces, games, everything!

For those who don’t know, the fifth set at Wimbledon does not go to a tie breaker it won’t end until somebody wins two games in a row.

46-45 now…Somebody needs to win so I can watch the Germany/Ghana soccer match.

This time last year, Jenny and I were packing our bags, getting ready to fly up to Green Bay to visit Carrie & Terry and run the Green Bay Marathon which is this Sunday. I wish to run in that 45 degree weather again. I just got in from running six miles in 88 degree heat. I just took a shower and am still sweating sitting here.

Hopefully, Colorado will be nice and cool next summer.

Well, marathon day is finally here and trying to get as ready as possible for whatever may come my way as far as hills, rain, heat and wind. So, I will give it a go and see what happens. Goal time is anything under 3:16 to qualify for Boston. We’ll see if I get close to that, but I will give it a good effort.

So, here is the plan. Run the hills at 7:30 pace, cruise the downhills at 7:00 or better and run the flats at 7:15-7:20. If this pans out, then it will be a great day. Either way, I am going to have to work for this one.

Today is our 14th wedding anniversary!! To celebrate, we will both be getting baptized this evening. Check out the awesome photos from our wedding. Hard to believe we paid something like $700. And people scoff at the price of wedding photography today!

I finally broke down and created accounts on Facebook and Twitter. I did so since most people are using them now. So, I have it setup so that anything I post here will also post there. If you would like to follow me on either Facebook or Twitter, you can do so by clicking the appropriate button over on the left side of the page. Hopefully, they will work right, I think I set them up correctly!
