I don't do a whole lot of appearances as part of ABC5 so I was excited to get a chance to take part in such a large event. About 8400 runners hit the roads of Des Moines to complete their race. Some in remarkable time, some had remarkable stories. While I haven't run much since Tough Mudder and my triathlon this summer, today's race made me want to get back at it. I hope the motivation lasts! Besides, one of these days I need to get into wedding shape.
The show does have it lulls. In fact, the 54-minute episodes could be cut down to 40 easily. A lot of small, pointless side stories get in the way of Henry, his wives, breaking away from Rome, plague outbreaks, changing alliances between France and the Holy Roman Emperor.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a stud... until he ages 20 years and he looks old and sickly.
