Ironman here I come
So yet another transformation has come as a result of this union with my wife nearly 4 months ago. I now go to Bally's and work out. To those of you that know me, this may come as a shock. I feel bad that I keep presenting these disturbing jolts of news to my friends. When I ran into My Cousin, er, Friend Vinny last week told me how he couldn't believe that I now actually READ for fun! Most people like him were surprised that I can actually read.
Anyway, so here we go again. I work out. I run. The other day I ran a mile, without stopping, for the first time since High School. Granted it took a hair under 11 minutes, but I did it. Like I said when I posted my 2005 Reading Material, this may not seem like much to some of you but it's huge for me because the closest thing I do to exercising is curling bottles of High Life.
My wife is a runner. Loves to run. Why, I don't know. There are many things that just puzzle me about her. Another is how she eats pizza four times a week, but that's another post. I, on the other hand, do NOT enjoy running but it's worth it because otherwise she's on my case. Plus she's a nurse and knows my cholesteral is high so that's a double whammy on the nag...I mean...lovingly suggesting factor. So we'll see where this running takes me...

Running huh? Yeah, I've run before, I'm not crazy about it but, it sure as heck beats walking!! So, Al's Run in September, run a little, walk a little, and then hoist some Miller products at Summerfest after the run?
Pizza four times a week? How does she stay so thin?
Mmmmmmm ... I wish I could eat pizza four times a week.
I'll be waiting to read that post! :)
Good thinking D. If I were to take part in Al's I would definitely need some Millers after!
Erin,
Yes..average 4 times a week. Sometimes less, but sometimes MORE!
Sounds great, I would love to run, but I hate it! Pizza 4 times a week sounds good though :)
Good luck! I've only been able to get off my ass and onto the treadmill 1-2 times a week lately. Horrible, so I'll live out my running dream through you. haha, that gets me out of it. Nice post. I don't know how Kirsten stays so thin either with all that pizza! Good for her! See ya this weekend
