I'm not used to eating breakfast, I usually have lunch, a snack and dinner. Mountain Dew used to be my breakfast. Now it has to be something, just not oatmeal or a clifbar. probably cheerios and a banana. We'll see how the rest of the week works out.

Running and Nutrition
When I signed up for this, I thought the hardest part was going to be the fundraising. I've been into this for almost a week and now I think it is going to be getting my diet under control enough so I can run a couple miles a day and then progressively more.

First group training session.
I recently signed up to run a Half Marathon in Vegas to raise funds for the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America. Today was our first group training session. I think I did really well for being a non-runner.
I managed to run/walk for about 2.5 miles. I ran more than I walked which is great for me considering its been at least 13 years since I've done any serious running.

Super Awesome Chicken Recipe!
So, Camille and I have been cooking a lot more at home lately and this is one of the new favorites of mine. I think that just because of this recipe, i'm going to have to plant some rosemary in the garden this spring. We haven't tried making the potatoes with it but usually make something else for the sides.
Rosemary Baked Chicken and Potatoes
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
¼ cup chopped fresh rosemary or 2 ½ teaspoons dried
¼ cup fine unseasoned dry bread crumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 ½ pounds chicken
1 pound small red potatoes
1.Preheat the oven to 425. Line a broiler pan with foil.
2.In a small bowl, combine the oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the fresh rosemary (or 1 tsp of dried).
3.In another small bowl, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan, pepper, and remaining 2 tablespoons of rosemary (or 1 ½ teaspoons dried).
4.Place the chicken on the broiler pan and sprinkle the bread crumb-parmesan mixture over the chicken.
5.If the potatoes are very small leave them whole; otherwise, halve them. Place the potatoes around the chicken.
6.Drizzle the rosemary oil over the chicken and potatoes and bake for 20 minutes.
7.Reduce oven temperature to 375 and continue baking for 30-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender and chicken is golden and cooked through.
Even if you don’t make the potatoes, the chicken is awesome.

Ghost stories
I was up late last night there's nothing better late night than channel suicide. As I was flipping channels I saw what I instantly recognized as Bobby Mackey's. A local country bar complete with mechanical bull.
It turned out that the show was Ghost Adventures on the Travel Channel. Now I don't really believe in ghosts and really don't care for ghost chasers on TV. you can't really tell what's real and fake without being there yourself.
I had heard growing up that Bobby Mackey's was haunted but never actually heard the full story. there was a book being passed around about it but I never caught the name. Last night I got the full story and the book is called Hell's Gate.
I got the chills several times last night while watching the show, probably more because it was cold and the producers of the show last night did a good job of providing suspense without really coming off as fake.
wasn't scary enough to give me dreams of any sort though. It looks like the crew from ghost adventures is even coming back for a ghost hunt and party in January too. But with tickets going for $259 each, you won't be seeing me there.
