I no longer have the time, motivation, and inspiration to keep up with this blog nor do I think it is fair for anybody that still comes here expecting any kind of updates. So, I decided to officially "go-out-of-business" if you will. I will no longer be posting here. Now, this does not mean that you cannot get the news from the Lunas anymore. That is because my wife still has the time, motivation, and inspiration to do it all! Go to <a href="http://amyrluna.blogspot.com/">her blog </a>for news about us including our now 1-year old daughter!<br /><br />I promised Amy I would do some guest posts on her blog every once in a while, but who knows, maybe I'll re-activate this blog one day :)<br /><br />So long,<br />-DanDluna2http://www.blogger.com/profile/15575543632718140565noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397447879904242786.post-59410196095354690212009-09-12T07:31:00.000-07:002009-09-12T07:47:35.765-07:0026.2 Miles!Tomorrow is a big day for me. Marathon day! <br />While running yesterday for the last time before the actual race on Sunday, I was thinking how excited and nervous about this whole marathon thing I really am. I have those butterflies in my stomach I used to have when a big swim meet was coming up back in the days. I pretty much have been an "athlete" my entire life, swimming a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ridiculous</span> amount miles, lifting, running, and doing everything else we did at 5:30 am before others were even awake. But I truly <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">believe</span> that a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">continuous</span> 26.2 mile run will be the hardest physical experience I will ever go through. Amy reminded me yesterday that while running the marathon will be very hard, she gave BIRTH, and that is in a whole other level of difficulty! So around mile 20, when I will be feeling exhausted, and will want to just stop running, sit down and cry, I'll make sure to remember January 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">nd</span> 2009, when Amy was going to a very long 12 hour labor.....the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">SuperUltraIronman</span> if you will. That should help me keep going.<br />Next week I will be letting you know how it goes.......have a good one.Dlunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11967992068271615293noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397447879904242786.post-91029122392437513432009-08-22T06:31:00.001-07:002009-08-22T14:13:19.448-07:00I see you..........Good Morning everyone!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz2r32G8ufjpTj4zpXbGwrJYDM8pwJlcseBZH-uqplEgq4X5XGFnPLvG4Eo-Fw-spmP1_Jczc-94hnrSuoEZ7iLFwseFuPe0l0eFxU1ixGhzryI6K2_q9FgiqebX6kjXAG4wZNJ3qJH_nR/s1600-h/CIMG3172.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz2r32G8ufjpTj4zpXbGwrJYDM8pwJlcseBZH-uqplEgq4X5XGFnPLvG4Eo-Fw-spmP1_Jczc-94hnrSuoEZ7iLFwseFuPe0l0eFxU1ixGhzryI6K2_q9FgiqebX6kjXAG4wZNJ3qJH_nR/s400/CIMG3172.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372780467274014610" border="0" /></a>Dlunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11967992068271615293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397447879904242786.post-73031515041029172242009-08-07T15:35:00.000-07:002009-08-07T15:57:12.372-07:00Do you know how hard it was to.........take this picture?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzDIrMwtbyYfjZ9bRC44ai0_Fbg11OSXI6cVyD1hV1gSYv_SUYSUPq5jY6JaJAc7XindXBotQqYQhNvr7GM59Sr3_VA7aPGmZvE6VWRtZ4gTo1GQ5Ox9kCfwyl2hAONrzcru3hG7H4KUnw/s1600-h/CIMG3078.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367355688399435394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzDIrMwtbyYfjZ9bRC44ai0_Fbg11OSXI6cVyD1hV1gSYv_SUYSUPq5jY6JaJAc7XindXBotQqYQhNvr7GM59Sr3_VA7aPGmZvE6VWRtZ4gTo1GQ5Ox9kCfwyl2hAONrzcru3hG7H4KUnw/s400/CIMG3078.JPG" border="0" /></a> Well let me tell you....Gone is the time where we would put Claire in a chair, couch, floor and she would sit there, smile, and pose for the picture.

St. Louis Half and Full Marathon races took place in downtown St. Louis this last weekend. I had trained over 3 months for this event ("the half"), prepared myself for everything I thought I would face on race day, bought the right pair of shoes, shirt, shorts, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ipod</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">nano</span>, armband, and there I was, in the middle of 17 thousand other runners just waiting for the gun to go off. The atmosphere would have been perfect if it wasn't for one small detail....it was raining! But I was not about to let one "small" detail (I thought) soak my goal, so here you go: </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><strong>Mile 1:</strong> I had to make sure I did not go out too fast otherwise I would pay for it later. 7:45, perfect! I was at a conversational pace observing the views of downtown. Rain still coming down.</div><div align="left"><br /><strong>Mile 2:</strong> More of the same....same pace, more rain, dodging puddles!</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong>Mile 3:</strong> At this part of the course, we went around the Budweiser <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">brewery</span> and the smell of hops and barley was in clearly in the air. I missed the mile marker but I'm assuming I kept up the same pace.</div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><strong>Miles 4-6:</strong> Not much going on. I was feeling strong besides having to go up a couple of small hills. The half-way mark was getting close. </div><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="left"><strong>Mile 7:</strong> I took my head phones off and scanned the spectators. This is what I saw: </div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326970626937652802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYOntR7ocR-woAsxvsILt4nuoJRP9JM9hhXyZKfbSYaBsgjCqGaEgdU911t4c_hbN8N7YaDLkopEC5oqjUgRJe90sbIFocF-9wDZ5yNib_R9qpLcDYXj1_fHaq-cmKa7CacfqL-JMY6HYE/s400/rah,+rah+sis+boom+bah.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><em>Amy and Claire cheering me on! Claire was wearing her runners "bib"!<br /></em><br /></p><p><strong>Mile 8:</strong> Energized by my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">personal</span> cheerleaders, I probably had my best mile. Under 7:30! However, this is also the mile where I realized a couple of things: 1) I REALLY needed to go to the bathroom...I had been holding since mile 1 (so much for staying hydrated and drinking lots of water prior to the race). 2) The rain was not letting up and my shoes were now soaked and heavy. I started to feel blisters forming on both my my feet, and I still had another 5 miles to go. </p><p><br /><strong>Mile 9:</strong> Bathroom break. That's right, I stopped at a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">conveniently</span> positioned porter-party next to the course path. This added about 45 seconds to my time, gave me some much needed relief, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">officially</span> made me an <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">amateur</span> runner.<br /><br /><strong>Mile 10:</strong> At this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">point</span> I had realized that this was the farthest I had ever ran before. I did not have much left to go, but I was starting to feel the race on my back. My feet hurt. Rain still coming down.<br /><br /><strong>Mile 11-13:</strong> These were <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">kindda</span> of a blur. I don't remember much of them except that I just wanted to get to the finish line. I knew my pace had slowed down but I was still on target to make it under my goal of 1:45.<br /><br /><strong>Finish:</strong> A quick sprint to cross the finish line.....official time.....1:44:32, success! Under the rained I started to make my way back to my car. I finished in 558<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">th</span> place out of 8533 half-marathoners. Not bad for a first timer! A special thanks to Amy, Kelly and Claire for coming to watch me!<br /><br />Here are a few pictures taken by Kelly.<br /><br /><br /></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326966790581072946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_D0-lvj53gVjyUqTncOkxPv-drIIXiLnTWmYOuNHfyu2-DEIEH4TLXvAuASfm1RrPdCWPcWQNJ6MdN28gj6DgD5HTZydH4ccr8FGzm3DH_DUyco9pea1xM9M5d_ddkFnK16_a2lKnB8QI/s400/good+luck.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"><em>Claire giving me some pointers before the race</em></p><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326966790871596658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimSE-UhZCXuiJpMPPWC5aeo6Jz6fD3byBv65I4GNCB91rjszIiTj9ANHyvkoN4qOIwpHL-obADHmBw_k0Gl0bFgNWEsGb14lan5DqLM2z-5i5O2p5f0fF6zRlw3RxfXDNgUfxumsfzzqPI/s400/Run+Dan+Run.jpg" border="0" /><em>About half-way through the race.</em> </div><div align="center"><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326966796512005890" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQMr3Eu_yqwF1HxLNxmVxOnb-16gBSlSlDZRruYGi9UIvxf9LWzDPA7c1LbkYqF7QVKqzaAdRE7EAe-BpIeJ94UTlrQ-2IQkOD51tAg26anBDAjKpvyTFQl1WPLP_tkggFrzkaKrILZdp5/s400/running+buddy.jpg" border="0" /></div><br /><p align="center"><em>Her "bib" says "daddy's future running buddy"</em></p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"><em></em></p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5326966800269794850" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhGjMu4iNKpae_KqjZFUXIsf4-3v4CJwferthQEImi40CZao6g5VrLNKafzeG-aAZdDjkEOiGqnBQ4e1Oqq9NgJtdI816CJsqHONtONhkIzCQ-15U8poGJZQMSZ4Ox70HyAQsxZQkvB-tJ/s400/the+aftermath.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><em>The end!</em></p>Dlunahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11967992068271615293noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-397447879904242786.post-7859274787529219812009-04-13T19:11:00.000-07:002009-04-14T06:39:50.016-07:00The Half!It's has been 3 months now since I decided to train for my first half-marathon. Claire was only a week old and she slept for most of the day. Amy and I were still in our parental leaves from work so finding time to go to the gym was relatively easy. My motivation? I had a few....lose weight, get back in shape, run a marathon, find another hobby....<br />30 pounds lighter and a couple of chapped nipples later, I now find myself only a couple of days away from running the 13.1 mile distance. To be honest, my initial goal was to simply finish the race, but as my training went on, I started to feel stronger and more confident. Averaging over thirty miles a week was not easy at first, but it feels pretty routine now. My new goal is to run it between 1:40 and 1:45, but to do that, I need to make sure I don't get caught up in the adrenaline kick of the first couple of miles.<br />I will be blogging about my race next week, so stay tuned.<br /><br />See<a href="http://www.gostlouis.org/"> Go!

The article featured animals like "Marcel" the monkey from FRIENDS, "Lessie" the famous collie, and of course, "Benji". Three different dogs have played the Benji character in the movie series that started being filmed back in 1974 all the way to 2004. Well, if the producers of Benji are looking for another replacement for the part, look no further that your good old DEXTER! Check it out, I'll let you be the judge in this audition.<br /><br /><div>Benji, the original.</div><div><br /></div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316885044229928818" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 286px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPvu-kfezxeNm530BC9jOSTkxvezUKj1qp1gSOyj_sK9Ur_c7tBSfpwlQ6Mpp2Sk_Lw4FH05SwZ-2nnTFBm_zDNjzz7mYxEtWCmcw0j1e7_Qz5GG4nF8TUSAGvlDg2TE4JAOvvHNP7wI/s400/Benji.jpg" border="0" /> </div><br /><br /><div>Dexter, the impostor!</div><div><span style="color:#ffffff;">.</span></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316886768302985650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 367px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq_rvsWBz7h6km3drgG1lqgsJKguZdPRm31qko0vvaCV4NlcfmAm31ezx0geGjwkSfeDQjiAqDoiauWX8FQJXwWhm7mjzdCTBO7z_UiMwS06H0tk6-WjdL_DMe5QnM1_E5qMcvigz0C4o/s400/Fun+winter+005+-+Copy.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><div></div>Dluna2http://www.blogger.com/profile/15575543632718140565noreply@blogger.com3
