Music Monday: Undone

This week's Music Monday is "Undone" by Aranda.

I heard the song probably last week. But I only caught the end. I typed it in my notes on my phone and actually forgot about it until Saturday night. Any time I hear a new song that I like I make a note in my phone then check it out on iTunes and see if I want to get it.

As I said I only caught the end so I couldn't remember what it was about. Before my minute and a half preview was over I had already decided this is my song! I even tweeted that I had my Music Monday song before the preview was done.

I had heard of one of Aranda's songs before and thought it was good but never checked it out. After hearing this song and previewing their first album from 2008 I was sold. In fact as I started writing this I was downloading it. This song came out in July and I have yet to find anything about a new album coming out but if it does I am sure it will be great.

This song is AMAZING! It is a song that is so inspirational. It is about feeling helpless and like your whole world is crushing you. The singer talks about fighting the fear inside and asks "will you rise above the pain or will you simply come undone?"

It is a great song for anyone struggling with the things that life is throwing at them. Sometimes we feel as if we are suffocating and we can't take anymore. But we just have to fight back and not let our burdens drag us to places we don't want to go. Just give the song a listen and know you can fight from within and rise above. You don't have to come undone.

Enjoy!

My first blog post!

Well, here it is. The moment that only a couple people have been waiting for. My first blog post. A few months back I noticed a friend of mine on facebook had a post that was a link to a blog. The title seemed interesting so I figured I would check it out. I was blown away by how honest and brave it was of her to write about something that was a very personal subject. I really didn't know that much about her but I knew what she was refering to and I thought it was amazing that she could be so bold. After I read some of her blogs I started reading others. I found some from runners and other athletes and musicians. I became inspired by alot of the things I was reading. Something that I never shared with anyone, until I told my wife Staci, was that I always wanted to be able to write out my feelings. When I told her I am not sure she thought I was serious. I rarely even say what is on my mind, how could I ever put it into words on a computer. Well, here goes nothing. I originally plan

Music Monday: 100 Million Miles

This week's Music Monday is 100 Million Miles by Monster Magnet. This is one of my favorite running songs. It's really been my mantra for the last few races I have run. I just finished up the MRTC Road Race Series. This year has been a lot harder because I have been dealing with more pain and injuries. This song reminds me that I just have to keep pushing and that when I am done running I can rest and recuperate. I also love the steady beat of the drums. On a easier run I sync each step with each beat. On my harder days I sync my right foot to each beat. That means a lot of turnover! The song is not about running but the chorus and drum beat make it a perfect running song. "Hey, there ain't no pain! 100 million miles away!" Enjoy!

My new tattoos

I just recently got my tattoo finished and added a few. I already had the letter N with my wife and kid's names in it. I just added the latest (and last!) addition to our family and added a crest. The N was pretty plain for a reason. I really wanted to get a tattoo with the names in an N but I really wasn't sure how I wanted it to look. I went to a shop and the guy that helped me didn't really help me much at all. But I knew I at least wanted the names and the N because the names line up perfectly. The two Ss line up and the two Es line up. I decided that I could get that and finish it later somewhere else. Probably a good idea. I kinda toyed with ideas for what I wanted to do and got close to getting it done. And then the surprise. We had Olivia. So now I have to find a way to get her name on it. The idea for her name came from a hat my Grandfather had given me a few years ago from our family reunion. The second N in my last name has a tilde above it. The hat had one o
