Valentine's Day Gifts - What about Him?

A lot of money is being spent trying to remind all the guys that Valentine's Day is just around the corner. You can't watch TV or listen to the radio without hearing about the special gift that will bring a smile to her face.

But what about the men? What would make the perfect gifts for him? I thought I would take this opportunity to share a few of my top desires for all the ladies that are looking for that special something other than aftershave.

#1 Is a WII game system. I understand, this may not seem like a great valentine's gift for the ladies but it is perfect for the man in your life. With a little creativity it could be just the thing you need for a romantic evening.

#2 Another great gift idea for a man is an IPOD. What a great way to fill the evening with soft romantic music.

I hope this short list has inspired all the ladies with some great gift ideas for that special man in your life. As for me, I off to stand in line at the flower store.

RUNNING SHORT?

I went to the bank today to cash my check and withdraw some cash. It was not a huge amount of money, less then 5,000 dollars. When I handed the lady at the bank my withdraw she looked at the request and said softly. Wow! let's see what we can do we are running a "LITTLE SHORT".

In the current economic environment you can imagine the panic this comment caused within me. She went on and was able to get the money quickly so I'm not sure if she was referring to being short in her drawl or that the Bank was running short.

It makes me think about how many things we take for granted, like being able to get our money OUT of the bank.

Testing Galloway Method #3

Last week my long run in the Galloway training method was 13 miles. This is the longest run of my life and I half to admit that the last two miles or so were difficult.

The next day, I felt great with almost no tenderness or soreness. I have one more long run to go in my training program for the Detroit Free Press Half marathon, a 14 mile run next week.

It's hard to believe that just a few short weeks ago I ran my first 5k race and now I am in position to complete a half marathon. This rapid progression has kept my motivation high and allow me to remain injury free. I'm not across the finish line yet but it now seems like an achievable goal.
