TRAY NING. IT’S A CHINESE SONG.

Somehow I pulled a muscle in yoga yesterday. Serious training for the NYC Marathon starts in 2 weeks. Although I was on my bicycle all day every day for an entire week, I feel bloated and out of shape because I haven’t been running. Therefore, I must run. Back spasms or not. (Not to mention my left thigh is still black and blue and miserable from my SpreadEagle face plant in the midnight half two weeks ago).

The show must go on. I’m about to put on my shoes for a nice 10 miler followed by a nice happy hour.

Tips to remember when full-marathon training….

1. Don’t increase weekly mileage by more than 10% per week in order to avoid injury.

2. Keep the long run pace SLOW (1:00-1:30minutes per mile slower than marathon goal pace). It’s about the actual amount of time spent running, not the amount of time per mile.

We put the RUN in DRUNK!

See you at the finish line (bar).

JOE ELLIOT ON HAIR NATION!

Next Friday, Joe Elliott of Def Leppard will be in the Hair Nation studios with me for one hour!!!

CAT SWEATERS

Things are much “cooler” when you know about them before someone else. Happy hour is more interesting when your friend hasn’t heard about the new amazing life changing television show you’ve discovered about homemade sweaters for stray cats.

“Hey, have you seen this new show called Cat Sweaters.”

“Yeah I totally DVR it.”

does not make you as cool as

“Hey have you seen Cat Sweaters?”

“No, oh my god, what the hell is that?”

See, now you’re cool because you were there first! You are a real fan! You DVRed Cat Sweaters 3 days before anyone else in the bar!

(In the case of rock n roll, someone will always have been there before you. Get over it. Be a fan for yourself, not to prove it to someone else.)

I’M BACK!

It was amazing. I rode my bike for 8 hours per day for an entire week. I laughed, I nearly cried, I ate way too many Fig Newtons and drank way too much Gatorade. I took many pictures and met many new friends. I took a weeks worth of shits in porta-johns. (Which I learned to love. No flushing means less waiting). I saw a monster truck full of kids wearing masks waving confederate flags out the window. I took offense to this for multiple reasons, but mostly as a straight man, I’m offended that they assumed everyone that participates in the AIDS ride is gay. Not to mention, where I come from it’s legal to carry concealed weapons and I can kick your fucking ass so get out of the truck and take off your masks you pussies.

It was an enormous commitment and it cost me quite a bit of money including an unpaid week off of work, but it was worth every minute. I will most definitely be doing this ride again, although I’m not so sure it’ll be next year.

After a week and a half on the road, peddling my bicycle down the coast of California trying to change the world one mile at a time, I’m happy to be back in good old New York City resting my aching body.

There’s no place like home!

6 PACK ABS IN 3 DAYS!

Every fitness magazine has a headline every month about how you can have a washboard stomach in 5 easy steps in 7 days or less. The truth is the only way to get abs in 3 days if you become bulimic, and that’s not a good look. Read the magazines, learn what you can, take them with a giant grain of salt (which will make you bloated). The very next month the cover will say 6 Pack Abs in 180 days!

Listen to your body, do what what works for you, don’t make yourself puke.

 

PROM!

FIrst of all. Thank you all so much. We raised nearly $600 last night and you should all be proud of yourselves! On top of it, for those of you that didn’t make it, the air conditioner was broken. The entire night there were more people outside on the sidewalk cooling off than there were inside.

We had an amazing time. And it made me realize one thing, people care more about getting wasted than they do about the fucking theme of a party, but that will never stop me from dressing up like a god damn fool.

Congratulations to Ian Eldorado and Niko for winning King and Queen!

 

TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY

It’s 7:00pm. I just got home from a bike ride with a member of Team Drunk Diet. After a swift 61.5 miles this cock sucker decides to tell me it’s his birthday….

We rode up to a shit bar in Brooklyn and the celebrating began, and it didn’t stop until the two of us, the two ladies, and the entire bar was sufficiently wasted. After getting caught in a New York City rain shower and having to move things inside, I went back out to check on my bike as soon as the rain had stop. To my drunken delight, the kids standing next to my bike were smoking a joint which was passed to me. I took a few hits and went off on my marry way. (My theory about weed is this, never buy it, but never turn it down if it’s free. Stick with that and you’ll have a healthy relationship in with the marijuana in your life.)

It is now 7:00pm and I’ve found myself at home, shit drunk, with a wet bike, and extreme hunger. Therefore I will give thanks for such an amazing day and retire to my Sirius/XM radio and a giant heaping plate of food.
