Cross-Training Day...

16 Miles on the Stationary Bike and 3 Miles on the Elliptical.

Here is the trophy buckle from my win last Saturday:

James 5:3

3 Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

Wow - that is really impressive.

From Steam8 on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 10:24:10 from 166.70.55.77

Congrats on your win! That is one HOT belt buckle! Nice job!!!

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 10:30:25 from 24.18.125.122

Very nice! You need to put something else in the pic for perspective though, like a quarter or something. I'm guessing that thing is about the size of a dinner plate, but it's hard to tell :)

From I Just Run on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 14:25:41 from 67.79.11.242

Ha ha Steam...It's about 3-1/2" x 4-1/2" but I do have a couple that are so big you can't really wear them on a belt! Althought this one looks like it's gold and silver, it's really made of bronze. I have a lot of buckles of the same size and style that are all "real" 10K gold and stirling silver. They are worth a fair amount but this one is a fairly inexpensive one...but it looks pretty :-)

From rAtTLeTrAp on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 14:39:41 from 24.18.125.122

Very nice regardless of size. It's always good to bring home some hardware from an event so long as we keep it in persective. Interesting scripture to pair that one up with :)

From Rye on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 16:02:49 from 71.209.34.12

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the pic. Good thing that you are lean and that you don't have a big flabby belly. Sure fire way to show off the hardware. I work with a couple of dudes that haven't seen their toes in years.

From SlowJoe on Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 19:26:14 from 74.195.74.62

Wow, nice! Do you ever do any events in Abilene? We have a rodeo but I can't remember what time of year...

From Steam8 on Thu, Jan 19, 2012 at 00:37:25 from 166.70.55.77

If I were you, I would wear that everywhere! It is amazing! I always feel like wearing my medallion from running a marathon everywhere for a couple of days...you really can wear your trophy around and be looking good while doing it! :)

From I Just Run on Fri, Jan 20, 2012 at 09:22:53 from 67.79.11.242

RT,

Yes...I could go into a long explination but I think probably get it:-)

Rye,

But you really don't know, Burt told me when I firt got on the Blog that "I could be anyone I wanted to be on the Blog". That's when I changed my name to "I Just Run". So you really don't know if that's me in the picture or some super atheletic running person I just copied and pasted a picture of.

Slow Joe,

I have been to Abiline many times to rodeos and "team ropings" but not in several years. For some reason the better competitions aren't held there anymore.

Steam,

The "joke" in my family (parents not my family) is that I'm not a "real" cowboy. I don't really live the cowboy life other than the competition part. I only wear boots, hat, buckle, etc when I compete. Other than then I dress pretty normal, You wouldn't be able to pick me out in a croud on a city street :-)
