D-DAY IS HERE....

That's right...Today's a day that will live in infamy....It's the day where I start my SUPER BOWL WEEKEND!!! The start of something great and where champions are born! These last two weeks have FLOWN BY! I've been featured in articles that have been displayed form local Tucson stuff all the way to ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=caple/090129&sportCat=nfl). Let me just tell yah, it's been one WYLD RIDE, and it's only beginning. Should that clock count down to 00:00 and the Cardinals are the victors, our lives as fans will have changed FOREVER. We will be the ones that teams will be trying to knock off that thrown. We will have gotten one of the biggest monkeys off an organizations back. We will have done what CUBS fans have hoping for over a century now. We will be in that ELITE club of members that can say that they are SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS!

Look for the Kid walking down that Cardinal Red Carpet dressed in his SUNDAYS BEST!

Another News Shoot....This time in HD...

Just finished a news shoot for KVOA NBC Channel 4 this morning. The spot will run tomorrow after editing today, and will run through all of the Channel 4 Broadcasts, and will be online at KVOA.com. That marks my final interview.....well.....you never know what will pop up......until I get to Tampa tomorrow. The party starts then. My flight leaves Tucson at 12:30 en route to Orlando with a quick stop in Dallas. I cannot believe that the day is already here to fly down there. You talk about an amazing trip....This is going to be EPIC! My friend Dave's girlfriend picked up their tickets yesterday, they got club level 201, so they too are now totally set!

As I've been going over all of the late breaking Cardinals news I came across a couple of great stories. One about Darnell Dockett that talked about how his mother was killed. Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com talked to him more in depth about it and he talks about that if his mother hadn't have been murdered, he probably wouldn't be who he is today. It was a tragic incident, that changed and shaped his life. (http://www.azcardinals.com/blog/post.php?author=1&id=1599)

The second was a poll conducted on ESPN.com's sports nation. I went ahead and submitted my vote for who I thought would win, and I was SHOCKED when it came up 50%/50%!!! The United states is absolutely DIVIDED on this one. They have a political state by state breakdown that shows the Midwest-western region of the US showing Cardinals as the majority pick....And the East coast mainly picking the Steelers. That is absolutely CRAZY! Did I mention that sample set is over 350 THOUSAND votes!

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K my friends.......

T-MInus 4 Days

I'll start with last night....well early afternoon...I'm ticked because my damn iPhone started acting up yesterday...There's definitely a hardware problem somewhere in there, since when you squeeze it or push to hard on the touch screen and it does it's best impression of a tickle me Elmo doll.....well...without the annoying giggle..

Thankfully, it still receives and makes phone calls, plays music, and gets my internet and email. Which is basically all I use it for. And it's a good thing it functioned as a phone, or I wouldn't have gotten to do the Phone Interview with The Press Box (http://www.thepressbox.org). The Show is scheduled to play on Thursday, so when I get the link, I'll update it here. I'm doing another radio show tonight, this one is my own personal show that I do with the The Champ of Sports Talk (http://www.thechampofsportstalk.com). The Champs been on injured reserve for the past few months, but we plan on putting together a GREAT show to talk all about the NFC Championship game, and my preview of what to expect this coming Sunday in Tampa. I'm also scheduled to be a guest on the Carey Sisters Radio show Thursday night. They are live on in Las Vegas, and you can here their show over the internet at http://www.thecareysisters.com this Thursday evening. I'm telling ya, it's as if I'm having my own blitzkreig of Media Week, AND I"M LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

This week also started a new schedule of running. Today was 12x300m hill repeats. Tough workout, and one we haven't done in a VERY LONG TIME! In fact, I think it was sometime back in August...I had just started my trianing blog....and I think I was running somewhere in the 1:30 range per set. Well....that was about 35 pounds ago and a WHOLE LOT OF MILES ago....Totally a different me. Today I ran all 12 sets in 1:15....Okay....the last set I ran in 1:12. Yeah.....Totally different me. The month of January really took an unexpected turn. My half marathon got overcome by NFL Playoff Football.....Something that's NEVER happened before. So, I ended up reducing the miles, but increasing the intensity of my workouts. Instead of slogging along at a 8:45 pace, I would run my mid week workouts at 8:15....Just not as long. And it's really paid off by allowing my body a full month of recovery without sacrificing my cardio!

But, as soon as I get back from Tampa, that will all change. It's time to exit that cycle of recovery, and start banging out the miles. There's a half marathon in March that I am going to target, and NOW IS THE TIME!!!

So, until tomorrow.....TRAIN HARD and LIVESTRONG!

T-Minus 5 days!

Not that I'm keeping track or anything, but in 5 short days I should be hopping on a plane and heading EAST! This isn't a short trip by any stretch of the imagination. It would only be worse if I happened to live in San Diego or Seattle....So, when it's all said and done, it's two legs, Tucson to Dallas, Dallas to Orlando. We get into Orlando about 8pm local. I'm also going to be missing my first ever flag football team. Honestly, the kids could probably coach themselves, but.....We know I'm not letting that happen. I do have a couple of parent volunteers to keep the gears grinding while I'm gone. Hopefully, we'll be 2-3 when I get back....

My running is still going strong. I've cut back the miles in January so that I could give my body a little recovery period, but next week that all ends. I'm going to be starting the progression back up and need to work towards a mid March half marathon. Starting as soon as I get back from the Super Bowl XLIII trip, I'll get back to logging tons of miles. Until then, I'm keeping my cardio up, and working on some strength training until then.

Today is going to start being what will be a busy week for the team. This morning they fly off for Tampa, and tomorrow begin the circus known as Super Bowl Media WEEK! I plan on hosting my own media week....Today I've got a radio show interview planned for 3pm local AZ on www.thepressbox.org! They were looking for a DIEHARD Cardinals fan to give insight on the upcoming matchup. Should be a great interview, and I cannot wait. On Thursday AM, I'm going to be on LIVE TV in Tucson. Our local NBC affiliate KVOA contacted me and want me to do a live spot at 7am. So I'll be hading to theier studios to get the GEAR ON, and talk about being a DIEHARD Cardinals Fan who's making the trip to TAMPA!

And we'll see if I hear from the Ellen Degenerous Show. Apparently, they're looking for the most DIEHARD Cardinals and STEELERS fan. Look no further man...Search over! When you'bve got two hallways dedicated to you at the teams stadium.....Who else can say that....She has no other choice then to seelct the KID!

We'll see how that turns out!!! Until then...ROCK ON, TRAIN HARD, and LIVESTRONG!
