Today was the 28th Annual Columbus Marathon and 1/2 Marathon, and it was a packed house course with a full 10,000 runners participating in the race. Despite living in Columbus for the past eight years, this year was the first time I’ve ever watched the event. Watched a marathon? This year’s race course brought the runners right to our doorstep, quite literally. Even though the race didn’t actually start until 7:00am, the pre-race activities started early with the race volunteers setting up a water station in our front yard around 6:00. I was on the porch, relaxing...
This past weekend we celebrated one of my favorite holidays - St. Patrick's Day! I've blogged about St. Patty's before, but this post is more to share some pictures of the day's events than anything else. We started the day off by meeting up at Timmy & Julie's place over in Grandview for some several pints of Guinness - and you know how I loves me some Guinness! By mid-afternoon The Buckeyes had moved on to the next round of the NCAA tourney, most of the party guests had arrived, and I had several pints under my belt... so naturally it was time...
Sorry for the lack of updates lately... I've been a bit busy with other stuff. Anyhow, Riley got on my case during last week's game so I figured I better get some updates out here. Lightning vs Got Beer Two weeks ago we faced off with Got Beer and maybe their name was just too much for us to handle, or perhaps we were lazy after our comeback win the week before? Who knows - but we lost! I think the final score was 3-4 in favor of the bad guys. I did have goal #3 in that game and...
You heard right, after an embarrassing 4-2 loss to The Hood the venerable Team Lightning came back to life with a 1-0 win over Got Beer FC Thurman. I can't remember who had the big goal in the game (sorry team) but I do know that we should have scored at least 4 more. I had two easy shots that I totally choked on... or as Carli would say, I have "pee-pants in the box syndrome". In my opinion the game ball (if we had such a token) should go to our goal keeper, Greg Carlo. In such a low scoring...
This past week's match pitted us against Deacon Blues (I don't know their current standings as the league web site is down). It was a hard fought game by both teams, but the good guys were able to prevail! Game 5 - Lightning vs. Deacon Blues The final score was 3 - 2. I tried to keep track of the scoring a little better this week, but this weekend was a rough one so my memory is a bit grey... so correct me if I get this wrong. Scoring for Team Lightning: Mike Oster Steve Riley Mike...
Four game and four wins - that makes for a pretty nice season so far! I know I'm a bit late in giving an update this week... hell, kick off for game 5 is in less than 3 hours. Game 4 - Lighting vs. Panthers It was another great showing by Team Lighting as we overtook the Panthers by a score of 5 to 1. Seeing as it's been nearly a week since the victory I forget exactly who scored, but I think it went something like this: Pete Mike Oster Steve Riley Me (w/ Christy...
Another good showing by team Lightning tonight. We rolled to a 3-0 record with a 5-0 shutout over K.O.A. I didn't have any goals nor assists tonight, but I did have to leave the field due to injury... twice. In the first period my teammate (Steve Riley) had a line drive shot on goal that I blocked with my... umm... nether regions. Ouch! A little rest and Gatorade on the sideline and I was good as new. During the second period I was down in the corner, scrapping for the ball when an opposing player took a powerful swing at...
Lightning, the co-ed soccer team that Carli and I play for, is off to a great start for the 2007 Indoor season. For those who don't know, we play year round here in Columbus. During the spring and summer seasons we play in a couple of outdoor at various parks around the city, and in the fall and winter we play indoor at All-Stars Family Sports (up at The Continent). We've started off our '07 (winter) indoor season with a bang. Last week we defeated Got Beer by a score of 7 - 3.This week we squeaked by TFS Thunder... Thunder...
