"Salvation Army Board...

Oh my. Thanks, EKG! 
He's the reason I chose to attend TAMU (and is an even bigger A&M sports fan than I
). My role model for being an Aggie, a Christian, a husband, and hopefully one day, a father.
I love that man.
ETA: But I did NOT pick up the running gene from him Idk how (or why) he does it. Dude's a machine when it comes to cross country, though.

I just don't think it gets any better than that, friend.
You're blessed.

There are 2 types of veterans Tbird, those who run even more after they get out, and those who pretty much don't ever run again. Most of us are the latter.

Mrs. T and I will most definitely be joining y'all in the latter category in a few years when we get out. She has knee issues that keep her from running like she wants to, and I just hate running
Would rather lift weights and play baseketball.Posted on 2/5/14 at 2:05 pm to TbirdSpur2010
There is only one good reason to run. If the guy chasing you has a bigger gun.

Hey ... what's the story behind the 4:19am alarm?
Why not 4:20?

I was already out of the house when he started doing that, but I'm pretty sure it's just something he does since my youngest sibling was born on April 19th he's always been an early riser, though. When I was in high school and was taking dual credit classes @ McLennan Community College in Waco, I used to tag along with him to Baylor's Rec Center when he was working for their ROTC detachment. We used to get up at 4 am for that, though, iirc.
Plus, he gets a little OCD with numbers He likes the number 19 because his birthday is Feb. 19th, and his favorite time of day is 3:37 because if you look at it upside down on a digital clock, it spells his middle name (well, my middle name too, I guess ).
He's quirky. Now y'all know where I get it from :lol:

I'm the exact same way.
I love him even more now.
