west monroe homes for sale: Half Marathon Training: One Month Away From the Monroe Parks Half Marathon
- 10/06/11 08:04 AM
I've been a little lax on my training blog lately. Maybe all this running has gotten to me. Maybe I've just been consumed with other things. Whatever the case, I am still training and I am still learning alot about myself and about how chasing a goal persistently relates to pretty much everything in life. Since beginning my training, my 10 year old daughter has taken an interest in running and has been participating in Cross Country at Claiborne Christian School. She recently placed 9th in a 2 mile junior varsity event; a 5th grader among 7th-8th graders! I'm so proud of … (8 comments)

- 09/28/11 08:41 AM
Perhaps you've noticed that listings aren't just flying off the market these days. Price is usually the first place we look when a listing seems to be languishing, but there are also other things that we can look at to improve the chances of a quicker sale. Tips To Move That Listing 1. Encourage your sellers to offer to pay buyer closing costs and prepaid items such as taxes and insurance. This can make a major impact for buyers who are trying to scrape up a downpayment or who are very close to their loan limit. Other incentives could include paying … (0 comments)

west monroe homes for sale: Half Marathon Training, Week 5: Back to the Grind
- 09/08/11 07:26 AM
Well, I must say that I did enjoy my "down week" last week. I ran a total of only 12 miles for the week. No runs were longer than 3 miles and I only ran that distance twice. I discovered a website that helps you plan your routes without having to use your vehicle and odometer. It's at www.mapmyrun.com just in case you're interested. This week, it's back to the grind and a decent increase from 2 weeks ago. My 3 mile run on Tuesday has increased to 4 miles. I will run a total of 15 miles this week with … (3 comments)

west monroe homes for sale: Half Marathon Training, Week 4: Getting Faster and Stronger
- 09/01/11 11:55 AM
I've gotta be honest. I'm still a bit skeptical about being able to run the whole 13.1 mile race in November. Don't get me wrong, I'm making tremendous progress. For instance, my Day 1 time for 2 miles was a whopping 48 minutes! That included several sessions of walking over the duration. Exactly 4 weeks later, my 2 mile time was 19:30 and 2 days later, 19:01! I'm definitely feeling faster and stronger. Still, in the back of my mind, I keep asking myself,"Can you really do this?" Back up a few days to Saturday when I ran 5 miles with … (0 comments)

west monroe homes for sale: Who Do You Listen To?
- 08/22/11 10:46 AM
Everywhere you turn, someone is vying for your attention. Tv, radio, newspapers, social media... it's everywhere and it seems as if everyone's saying something different! Unfortunately, it's usually all negative. The talking heads seem to always be trying to turn their negative news into negative reality. Can things REALLY be this bad? Everywhere? I'm not so optimistic that I don't think that things are bad in some places. I understand that the negative news does come from at least a shred of truth. It definitely IS bad somewhere or these undesirable news stories would just go away. However, just as the … (1 comments)

west monroe homes for sale: Running In The Wrong Shoes!
- 08/15/11 04:06 AM
In case you missed my post last Thursday titled Half Marathon Training, Week 1 , here's a link to catch up. While I truly am training for a half marathon and will be blogging about my experience, I am attempting to find parallels that relate to business. Last week, after I had run 2 miles on Monday and 3 miles on Tuesday, I visited a brand new Monroe, LA business called Fitright Active. The owner, William, was extremely helpful and even stayed late to help my wife and me. He put us in a pair of "neutral" shoes and put us on a treadmill. … (20 comments)

west monroe homes for sale: Half Marathon Training, Week 1
- 08/11/11 04:19 AM
I know what you're saying. Why is a 41 year old real estate agent training to run a 13.1 mile race? I find myself asking the same question after the first 4 days of training! I'd like to blame it on pressure from my wife who has run a half marathon before, but secretly I do have somewhat of a desire to do it. I'm not a total newbie to running. About 7 or 8 years ago, I trained for a half marathon. Due to a 3 week trip in which I intended to train but did not, I decided not to follow through. I … (2 comments)

west monroe homes for sale: Back to School, Back to School...
- 08/09/11 06:26 AM
It's that time again. Time to break out the school supply list and start picking up all those necessary back-to-school items. Back packs, lunch boxes, etc. are in great demand this time of year and the supply has long since begun to dwindle. A great way to fill your school supply list and keep your sanity is to shop discount stores BEFORE peak hours. Yes, this may mean hitting the 24 hour super store at 4 in the morning to avoid the heavy crowds. Just be sure to fill up on coffee beforehand! Another possibility is going the online route. Although … (1 comments)

I've been a little lax on my training blog lately. Maybe all this running has gotten to me. Maybe I've just been consumed with other things. Whatever the case, I am still training and I am still learning alot about myself and about how chasing a goal persistently relates to pretty much everything in life.
