The Amazing Race is an American reality game show in which typically eleven teams of two race around the world. The race is split into roughly twelve legs interspersed with physical and mental challenges, and require teams to deduce clues, navigate themselves in foreign areas, interact with locals, perform physical and mental challenges, and vie for airplane, boat, taxi, and other public transportation options on a limited budget provided by the show. Teams are progressively eliminated at the end of each leg; the first of the last three remaining teams to cross the final leg's finish line win US$1 million. As the original version of the Amazing Race franchise, the CBS program has been running since 2001, and has completed broadcasting its 22nd season, with the show renewed for its 23rd. Numerous international versions have been developed following the same core structure, while the U.S. version is also broadcast to several other markets.The show was created by Elise Doganieri and Bertram van Munster, who, along with Jonathan Littman, serve as executive producers. The show is produced by Earthview Inc., Bruckheimer Television for CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios. The series has been hosted by veteran New Zealand television personality Phil Keoghan since its inception.
I continue to run in memory of my close friend's battle against cancer. Dom who passed on August 15, 2010 will be sorely missed by those who knew and loved him. I will continue to run in his honor. Thank you for supporting this journey.
Caritas envisions a community where there is respect for all individuals, hope for those experiencing poverty and opportunities for self-reliance. The organization provides a service continuum for those experiencing poverty that begins with a safety net and links them to resources to achieve self-sufficiency.

On a day like Thanksgiving, where we all need to pause for a beat to count our blessings, the Thundercloud Race serves a great cause and this year included more than 21,000 runners making it once again the largest 5-mile race in the state of Texas. Last year more than a quarter of a million dollars was raised through the race for Caritas, this year that record was broken once again.
Pre Race: With a later start time (9:30 a.m.) it was a pretty low-pressure morning. I woke around 6:30 a.m. to a late alarm clock. Hopped in the shower to loosen up the muscles, had a bagel and Clif Bar chased with gatorade and was ready to make my way downtown to find parking. The trip was uneventful and I was able to secure one of the final two parking spots in the Hooters parking lot across from Run Tex about 1/4 mile from the finishing chute. Perfect.
I kept my sweats on and walked over to the finish line along Auditorium Shores. The starting line would be on the Congress Avenue Bridge just up the hill and around the corner. Whenever I can I like to walk the closing sections of a course before my warm-up so I can visualize the final 400 meters and pick out the spot where I am going to start my kick.
I ran into a runner friend of mine and we decided to run our warm-up together. We walked back to our cars, dropped our clothes and I switched into my race flats. We started our warm up on the Congress Avenue Bridge and ran the first mile of the course up Lavaca. Covering the opening hill that would pull runners up close to 100 feet in the first mile. We spun around at the top and jogged back down to the start area about 20 minutes before the gun.
Just before 15th street we hit the opening mile in 6:07. I decided that over the next mile and a half of rollers I would back off pace just a bit or our race was going to be over before it ever got started.
Finally at the start of mile 4 we gained a little of our momentum back and started to pass a few runners in front of us. Turning south along the frontage road of Mopac (Loop 1) we enjoyed a nice downhill stretch before turning left on Cesar Chavez and making our way back toward the Congress Avenue Bridge. Unfortunately the wind would be in our face during this section, so the benefit of the downhill terrain was tempered just a bit by the headwind.
I made the last turn and two runners who had been alongside me on Cesar Chavez had been dropped on the bridge. I was all alone as I saw Scott up ahead and the Andy hit the finish line. 400 meters to go and we gave what we had to the finish. The final mile came in 6:08.
Post Race: Initially I was a bit disappointed with my time as I felt like 30:30 was a reasonable goal, but as I met up with Scott and Andy and talked about their feelings about the course and conditions, I started to feel a little bit better about things.
As results were posted our performance became a bit more clear as we took 2nd place in our Age Group, 65th overall, which was good enough for a Turkey Trot trophy and $20 worth of gift certificates to Thundercloud Subs. With a Thundercloud across the street from our new office location starting on December 10th, those should come in handy for sure.
There are far worse things in life than missing a goal by :20. At the end of the day, we have a whole lot to be thankful for. I even had a special helper in the kitchen this year to help me carve the turkey. Kitty Cat on the cheek and all.

If the court finds such pattern or practice, any person of such race or color resident within the affected area shall, for one year and thereafter until the court subsequently finds that such pattern or practice has ceased, be entitled, upon his application therefor, to an order declaring him qualified to vote, upon proof that at any election or elections (1) he is qualified under State law to vote, and (2) he has since such finding by the court been (a) deprived of or denied under color of law the opportunity to register to vote or otherwise to qualify to vote, or (b) found not qualified to vote by any person acting under color of law. Such order shall be effective as to any election held within the longest period for which such applicant could have been registered or otherwise qualified under State law at which the applicant's qualifications would under State law entitle him to vote.
