Finally Mused

I teeter between thinking writing a blog about myself for the world to see is either narcissistic or purely a means of notifying my family, friends, and supporters of my slightly unusual lifestyle. Whichever you choose to believe, please know I am grateful for all of you. I have some wonderful news to share.

Let me sum up: On January 22nd, I ran into my best friend after not seeing her very much over the past several years. On Feb 14th I had a pretty serious knee operation to remove part of my torn medial meniscus and repair the other half, and the doc also performed what is called a 'micro fracture' procedure to help repair my badly damaged cartilage. The subsequent six months (physically) have been difficult, but that's the easy stuff to deal with. The exciting news is that in five weeks I will be marrying that girl I "ran into..."I proposed to her on June 22nd.
(one lucky dude!)
Additionally, I've been back in the saddle now for a few weeks after several months of just trying to not eat my weight in ice cream every day, and I will be making my first race post surgery the 2011 Beach 2 Battleship in Wilmington, NC on Oct 29th. In 2008. I won the inaugural half distance as an amateur, and Setup Events is kind enough to bring me back this year. I have since acquired an elite license, and I will be racing a pro this go 'round. If all goes according to plan, I'll be racing as a married man, traveling and racing with great friends from Chattanooga, and hopefully having an amazing time in a great city.


Please stay tuned for wedding pictures, race updates, excellent music selections, and whatever happens to tickle my fancy.

Congratulations! Is that Lane? OMG!!! To cute!!! I'm glad your knee is feeling better. I raced last summer with a partially torn lateral meniscus in my left knee and it was not fun. It took about six months and lots of physical therapy to heal. I can't wait to see you back in action. I raced at the Hy-Vee, 5150 championships last weekend and was so inspired by the pros. You are lucky to be one of them! Email me sometime. I need running advice! michele254@hotmail.com - Michele (King) Kisel

The observation essay – this is one of the most tricky crafting assignments higher college and faculty learners
can obtain. Although it is not as challenging as producing a study
paper, producing an observation essay on a particular person or a environment can pose serious problems
to pupils. The sad truth is that pupils you should not really
know how to create such a paper due to the fact lots
of of them really don't have an understanding of what
an observation paper is supposed to glance like.
In other words and phrases, college students do not have substantially working experience creating observations, using subject notes,
and then producing a complete paper in good academic structure.
