AM: 2.5 mile warm-up on the treadmill and then weights. Lifted pretty hard and since it's been a week I will, no doubt, be sore tomorrow.

PM: Went to the gym this evening to rack up a few more easy miles while watching the Broncos vs. Steelers. I have been a skeptic as is my way, but I am now completely convinced that Jesus is directing the passing arm of Tim Tebow. Except when he clearly isn't and Tebow looks like a bad high school quarterback. But Rothlesberger's a twice acquitted rapist right? I guess if I were Jesus I'd side with Tebow too.

We'll see what happens next week when Tebow once again goes up against God's nephew- Tom Brady.

I love rooting for him... its like the perfect made for Disney channel movie. Bill Simmons says that we are watching what will become the movie "Fourth-and-God." Brady vs Tebow is NBC's dream matchup next weekend... b/w that and the Olympic Trials, what a day for doing a long run and then laying on the couch all day!

Weights = Strong injury free runner. What weight exercises have benefited you most do you think? Quads have got to be my wek point for sure..

TEEEEEBBBBOOOOWWWW! (and I'm from Denver, so I'm not just on the Tebow bandwagon).

You see the SNL clip on Tebow?

Jon - of course I did. You didn't think I could make up the God's nephew line do you?

From Jake K on Mon, Jan 09, 2012 at 12:26:44 from 155.100.226.54

Does everyone realize that Tebow threw for 316 yards yesterday. 3:16! You can't write a movie script better than this :-)

From Rob Murphy on Mon, Jan 09, 2012 at 12:37:02 from 205.127.70.66

Jake - yeah and he only completed 10 passes.

From Jake K on Mon, Jan 09, 2012 at 12:41:28 from 155.100.226.54

Why bother with precision 8-10 yard throws when you can BOMB AWAY? There is also more time for divine intervention on the really long passes.

You take what the defense gives you! The Pitt defensive coordinator should be fired!! A defense that works 90% of the time & gives up the big play the other 10% is worthless! Oh, and they should have rested Big Ben last week too ...
