I Suck At Ghost Town

With the snowfall yesterday, I decided to be daring and take the recently fixed treadmill out for a little jaunt. I thought it would be an interesting test (not just for the treadmill repair, but for me as well) since I could not make a full mile the last time I decided to run... which was well over a month ago.

Needless to say, I changed into some running clothes and just started running. To my surprise, I ran quite well. I completed a mile well under the expectation I had set for myself for not having run in some time. I was not even breaking a sweat (proof that running on a treadmill is vastly different from running on the road). Regardless, I was pleasantly surprise by the run.

Perhaps this will motivate me to run more. Even with my son (Braden), who passed away a while ago, I always had this vision in my head that I would be one of those parents who ran while pushing our baby in a jogging stroller or something like that. Unfortunately, I never had that opportunity with Braden. This time around, the thought is still a possibility. (And for anyone curious, our baby is named "Ori" this week... in honor of four navel oranges.) But we'll see how things go with Ori.

Anyway, yesterday Karen and I also watched the next movie in her Netflix queue: Ghost Town. Now I suck at Ghost Town.

(The video below is a trailer for Ghost Town.)


Apparently, we have been on a Ricky Gervais run of late (having watched "The Invention of Lying" not too long ago as well.) The movie is about a very unfriendly dentist who ends up being able to see dead people. Truth be told, I thought the movie was okay. It was entertaining.
