Kick Ass

(Sorry for the cuss word. But, since it seems like no one else is posting, that must mean that you all aren't even visiting the blog. Because, I mean, why would you visit and not post? So, if you aren't visiting, you'll never know I cussed.)

I'm kick ass.

I mean, it's a general feeling I have, but when I am alone at a bar on business travel, and I just finished my second glass of wine and my entree hasn't come yet, the feeling gets really powerful.

For this particular post, I'll tell you I'm kick ass because I jogged 5 miles in 47:13 this morning.

Beat that. (which means, by the way, that you'll need to actually POST in order to beat that.)

Spiderman (and woman)

Vegas, baby!

Sorry for the lack of posts that last few days - it's been hard to find time to post when I've been dragging Keith's butt around Vegas, trying to convince him to go for a jog or get any physical activity. But all the guy wants to do is sleep!


Of course, that's not entirely the truth.


We've had great jogs each morning in Vegas so far, probably going about 4.5 miles yesterday in 40 minutes. Lots of push-ups and trash, talk, too, so the blog has never been far from my mind!


Went rock wall climbing at the Venetian yesterday. Why do I let him talk me into these things?


Mike was at his conference, so just Keith and I climbed. I'm telling you - it was like watching Spiderman and Spiderwoman! Up and down the wall six times, and Keith only cried twice!

(Keith starting to cry after seeing the height of the wall.)

Of course, I made it over the hard ledge climb with no problem whatsoever. At least according to Debbie, who had perfect timing and walked up just as I crossed over - never seeing that I had actually hung there for four minutes before being able to pull myself over!

Keith made it over the ledge, too, but that was just because I was carrying him on my back.

Running late!

okay, bad pun! But, seriously, I am running late!

Wanted to post a link to City Running Tours, though. I'm in Chicago at a conference and joined with this group for a 3 mile run around downtown. So cool! They pointed out all the sites, you didn't have to worry about where you were headed, or getting lost, or anything! Evidently this group runs the tours in DC, Austin, NYC, San Fran, and some other places. It's awesome.

Light it up!

The blog hasn't gone dark!!!

I realize I've been updating my "google doc" but haven't been posting much here.

So... I'm in Chicago at a conference. Did 45 minutes on the elliptical, then 15 minutes jog outside (I got booted off the elliptical for being on it longer than 30 minutes. Jerk.). Finished the morning with 50 push ups.

Can I PLEASE ask for clarification on the photo? I just didn't even know how to ask. What the heck is that? When was that taken? Why was that taken? What were you thinking?

Enlighten us, please!

Anyone home??

While you guys have been dissing me on the blog, I've been busy getting ready for basketball season. I haven't played much since an unhappy incident in college involving my 4 year roommate. I'm sure it was my fault. I finally have the courage to move forward.

Okay, now that's what I'm talking about! The "ratio issues" and jog in Green Bay, that's what this is all about. Of course, this is NOT about eating cheese curds!

Although, I might compete with that world record for sounds the worst but tastes the best! I'm prepping a Boston Butt pork shoulder to smoke tomorrow. Doesn't sound the best, but I do make a mean pulled pork BBQ!

So after posting the kick in the pants, I realized that I've been updating the Google Docs, but not posting it here! Had two great runs this week with a girlfriend who was in town - including almost 4.5 miles last night! Also hit my 100th visit to Curves, and got a free t-shirt. All in all, a good week!

Excuse Me?

Its true! I am guilty. I haven't been doing my part in the posting or the working out. The guilt is accepted. But not the procrastination. I was gonna procrastinate but then I decided I could just do that tomorrow. I didn't get a chance to run today, but I did just finish my 150th push up for the day. I don't think that gives me the points I need but getting back up to speed is a slow process. I do plan to run in the morning in chilly Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is supposed to be in the high 40's in the morning. Should be awesome. I need to run extra cause I ate "fried cheese curds" tonight! Fried Cheese Curds holds the Genius Work Record for the largest difference in how good it actually is compared to how good the name makes you think it is. Yuk name but Yum! Yum! They seem like they should be served only at the state fair. Thanks for the kick in the pants Maureen, I am back on the Schedule. Try not to pressure Scott though, cause I think he has some ratio issue based on the physical space between his ears compared to the lack of matter contained in the same space. And yes, that is why he hears everything in an echo - 0 - 0 - 0!

The point of this blog...

... is to guilt us all into working out. The fact that no one is posting should be the GUILT in this equation, people. And, again, I'm not. the. numbers. person.

Just because Scott and Barbara are hosting a slew of family, and just because Keith's busy at work (wait, Keith's not busy at work. He's probably just procrastinating.), doesn't mean you can't be working out! If I were down there in Texas, I'd round you all up and make you go for a bike ride! Now, come on. Post. Make fun. Put others down. You're GOOD at this, people!

OMG!

I swear, I didn't see this comic in the paper today until after my earlier post.
