As my birthday approaches I begin to reflect upon the events of the past year which has been an incredible year.
Excellent health. Spent Christmas with my family. Laughed and danced with friends. Moved apartments and jobs. Had an amazing New Years Kiss. Fell in love. Lost 15 pounds (15 more to go). Ran my 1st 1/2 and Full Marathon. Shined on stage. Saw old friends. Watched friends succeed and achieve their goals. Ran over 728 miles in the past year.
I am not sure what this next year holds for me but I sure am excited to see what it may bring. I do know that December brings the Honolulu Marathon with the Team To End AIDS. I am running the marathon to support APLA (AIDS Project Los Angeles). I need to raise $3200 before September 24th. So far I am at $860 and Rubios is hosting a fundraiser for me on Wednesday, July 20th at the Irvine Location (Harvard and Main).
I will be donating a total of $1600 myself and any amount you can donate will be a huge help. To donate please visit:

My birthday is Tuesday and for my birthday Fredy and I are going to Sea World and spend sometime in San Diego. I love Sea World and San Diego and I can't wait to spend my birthday with the man I love. Fredy has been an amazing addition in my life and can't wait to see how else he will inspire me, support me, encourage me, love me, and make me smile.

Donate to my AIDS Marathon
Dear Friends and Family,
I've decided to take on an amazing challenge to help in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Over the next several months, I'll be training to complete the Honolulu Marathon, and I'll be raising money to support AIDS Project Los Angeles. I've never done anything like this before and I am ecited to be training with such a great group of people.
AIDS continues to be a devastating health problem in the United States. At last count, 1.2 million Americans are now living with HIV, and 56,000 more become infected each year. Fortunately, here in Los Angeles, we have an incredible organization that is working hard to stop the spread of HIV. They also provide food and home health care so that people affected by HIV/AIDS can continue to live full and productive lives.
I hope you will support my efforts by making a tax deductible donation. To find out more, please visit my T2 Home Page by clicking on the link below.
I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
Sincerely,

LA Marathon Results
On March 20th, 2011 I ran my first full Marathon. I have been training hard for this day and I began preparing for the increased calorie burn starting Friday night by forcing myself to eat a ton of carbs. We went to Cheesecake Factory and I has Fettuccine Alfredo and the Ultimate Red Velvet Cheese Cake. :) Finished that for lunch on Saturday (not the Cheesecake tho the trash will enjoy that) and then on Saturday night had even more pasta and bread.
Woke up on Sunday morning after a horrible night sleep (nerves got to me) and made the drive to LA Dodger Stadium and had some breakfast on the way. Got there just in time to start which was nice since it was so cold we didn't have to hang out in the cold for long. Right as the race started it began to rain and rained pretty much the entire race, luckily the majority of the time it was a light rain but sometime it came down hard. I walked maybe two miles of it and I was struggling to finish. It was so cold my calves were locking up but I will do better on the next one.
Here are my results. Bib # 14951 Division 30 to 34 Male
Clock Time: 4:31:21
Chip Time: 4:23:21
Overall Place: 5014 out of 19,739 finishers
Sex Place: 3943 out of 11981 men that finished
Division Place: 629 out of 1620 out of men age 30 to 34 that finished
Fastest time recorded was 2:06:35 by a 26 year old Ethiopian
Max time recorded was 12:23:19
Average Overall finish time was 5:16:32
Fastest time recorded in my division was 2:14:27 by a 32 year old from Kenya (he wasn't even in the top 5)
Max time recorded in my division was 9:54:36
Average Division time was 4:49:55

One week
I can't believe that the LA Marathon is one week from today. I started out my training back in September in preparation for the PF Change Rock n Roll Half Marathon. Along the way I decided to try a full marathon. Right about now I'm asking myself why I decided to do a full marathon. 26.2 miles. I use to struggle to complete a 3 mile run but now I have logged over 200 miles this year. Crazy crazy crazy.
Anyways if anyone is in LA next weekend come out and support me at the LA Marathon.
It starts at Dodgers Stadium and finishes by the Santa Monica Pier. 3/20/2011

Long Over Due.
I have been horrible at updating my blog lately and mostly because I have been so exhausted. I have been so busy at work tying to keep up with all the projects I am working on and keeping up with all the unexpected things that arise. With 1442 apartments and over 4000 residents there are a lot of unexpected things that arise.
On top of that I have been stepping up my training in preparation for the LA Marathon on March 20th. So far this week I have run 37 miles. Now it is time to start tapering off the miles. I am getting very nervous about my first marathon and just want to finish it. I don't care how long it takes or how much I have to walk I just want to cross the finish line.
My health is doing well. I have been under the weather for the past couple of days. I am thinking it is because the drastic changes we have had recently and I have been sleeping well. I have an upcoming appointment for my regular blood draw and my Dr follow up two weeks after that. I will be switching to private health insurance this month and have to look into how much my co-pay will be or if I can get assistance with that.
Anyways I will update again soon. In meantime I hope you all are doing well and getting tested.
