My First 5K

The TV Guide
Posted by: Trent on April 7, 2012| 31 Comments

Welp … I did it! Early this morning, I met my friend Ollie on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to run the 5K portion of the Hollywood Half Marathon. As you may know, I started training in March for my first half marathon in September and decided to run this 5K race to push my training along. Even tho I’ve been running 3-4 miles, I was a bit worried about my first race (I even said a little prayer before the race to the Holy Spearit at Britney Spears‘s star on the Walk of Fame for strength and guidance). I wanted to make sure that I ran the whole race and I wanted to finish with a decent time. I am VERY happy and extremely proud to let you know that I was successful on both fronts. Click below to see some photos from my FIRST 5K today. More »

Harry Saves the Day!
Posted by: Trent on April 2, 2012| 5 Comments

Last month we saw a bunch of photos of Prince Harry of the United Kingdom touring parts of the world in celebration of his grandmother Queen Elizabeth, II‘s 60th year as reigning monarch. The photos we saw last month (HERE, HERE and HERE) were all very fun, very lighthearted. Today we get to see previously unseen photos from that tour that are far from fun and lighthearted. While in Brazil, Prince Harry played a match of polo and during the game, one of his opponents suffered a scary accident. Harry quickly jumped to aid his fallen compatriot and lend a helping hand … proving, yet again, that Harry is a hero. Check out the photos below and see for yourselves. More »

Magic Johnson Buys The LA Dodgers Baseball Team

For $2 Billion Dollars
Posted by: Trent on March 28, 2012| 5 Comments

We’ve got some very exciting sports news creating quite a stir here in LA today … it was announced late last night that an investment group lead by LA Lakers basketball star Earvin Magic Johnson put in the successful bid to buy the LA Dodgers baseball team which is up for sale. Johnson‘s group’s bid of $2 billion dollars was not only the highest bid put in for the Dodgers but it is also the highest bid any group has offered for any sports team EVER in North America. For years, the Dodgers have been plagued by the personal drama of the current owner Frank McCourt and his wife (who’s nasty divorce put the Dodgers management in jeopardy). With Magic Johnson as a new owner, it looks like a bright and exciting new era of the LA Dodgers is about to get underway. More »

Good Boy
Posted by: Trent on March 13, 2012| 2 Comments

For years now, we have seen photos of David Beckham sitting courtside at LA Laker basketball games mostly watching the players in action but sometimes watching the Laker Girls cheerleaders, well, in action. Today is no exception … Becks attended a recent Lakers game here in LA at the Staples Center and for the most part, he managed to keep his eye on the ball and off of the Laker Girls. I guess after years of honing his skills, he’s finally managed to figure out a way to stay out of trubs when attended LA Laker games. More »

Birthday Lurve
Posted by: Trent on March 5, 2012| 3 Comments

Last month the Beckham family celebrated the 7th birthday of youngest son Cruz David. This weekend, eldest son Brooklyn Joseph celebrated his 13th birthday in style with his dad at an LA Lakers basketball game. Altho the Beckhams are truly a soccer-loving family, they tend to have a strong affinity for basketball. Clearly Brooklyn is a fan because he decided to celebrate his birthday with his dad Becks courtside at the Staples Center. Not a bad way to turn 13, I think. More »
