Want to spread the word about my older bro. He's coming up in the EDM world very slowly. Artist name is Alastor:

He makes more cheesy stuff with Gareth, and more trancey and deeper stuff with Jerome. Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond play his tracks on their radio shows sometimes.

damn really nice. second track is REALLY HYPE; had to put my headphones on for that one & really turn it up.

should put that in the music subforum too.

It was a good fight overall, loved the brawl towards the end, but at the beginning I loved guerrero's pace and how he was controlling garcia, he would use the uppercut as garcia would duck a lot but then garcia holded and moved a lot which i didn't like, not because I don't like garcia, but because it's not entertaining, garcia didn't want to rumble guerrero until towards the end they engaged, but garcia kept through loopy power shots or power hooks which didn't feel timed, but guerrero put up a good fight, but he had that issue of missing alot of his punches when he jumps into it.

ya very good fight.. I had it 7-5 Garcia or 6-6 draw, really close.. definitely not 8-4. I thought Guerrero won the first 5 rounds. He was by far the aggressor/effective puncher in the early rounds. But then in round 6, everything changed. Guerrero slowed down and Garcia got a chance to relax and setup his shots.. Garcia hit him with some SERIOUS shit, surprised guerrero didn't go down at some point. So I thought Garcia won rounds 6-11. Finally, I give the last round went to Guerrero.. great 12th though, so much heart by Guerrero.

Garcia was doing his Mayweather imitation, he looked good doing it (in the second half of the fight).

Really nice fight though! Loved the miniature belt for his young daughter, hahah!@#@



Actually one of the coolest moments i've seen at the end of a sporting competition ^^

enjoyed the fight, khan is mandatory to face them but angel has other plans.

hope khan gets the fight, people always leaving him fightless.

shawn porter vs keith thurman on 12th march. I would like to see shawn porter against danny garcia.

i hope thurman wins, I love that dude!

- miles 5, 6: 6:57, 6:57

-- this is when I was wrecked.. well some of mile 6 too, so mile 6 & 7 were impacted.. slowed a bit and eventually it worked itself out
- miles 8,9,10,11,12,13: 7:07, 7:18, 7:48, 7:08, 7:48, 7:28
- miles ~rest: ~6:19
 
- good run but also very annoying: wore my other non-friction socks which allowed some rocks to get in while running, had to stop for 3 cars who just wanted to run me over, stomach was wrecked at the end of mile 6 and during most of mile 7 (lost ~1.5 minutes on that i bet), lots of tree debris on the sidewalk, ran against alot of wind.. so that being said, definitely a good run, maybe even great. hehe!

so, very happy about that run.. i'm pretty sure I could have PR'd my 10k too if I hadn't had that stomach issue.. I'd love to get my half marathon under 1:30:00!

legs felt good throughout, so they have basically adapted to that distance.

legs achy afterwards, right knee slightly too.

I like these long runs. They've always been my "bread & butter" in terms of running. I wonder if running multiple (2-3) half marathon's per week would be the perfect medicine, or break me down. When I boxed, I ran multiple times per week at close to two hours, and didn't break down any. I'm nearly 10 years older now so that factors in. Also i'm focusing on pace more, so the intensity is higher overall. Might try running 2 or 3 half's next week. Also, why half? I'd like to creep it down into 1:2x:xx's and then 1:1x:xx's.. so that'd be just over an hour of running for 13.1 miles, that's dope.

1:19:00 would be sick: http://www.walkjogrun.net/training/marathon-pace-calculator.cfm?distance=13.1&distanceunit=m&duration=1%3A19%3A00

tomorrow = REST + BBQ BRISKET & MAC/CHEESE + NFL PLAYOFFS + STRETCHING. 

pc!

mind blowing. the reactions of the other dudes are great.

ya the reaction is great.. I probably would have gone nuts too  . that broad jump is INSANE.
