Numbers:
Type of exercise: Walk
Distance: 3 miles
Total time: 51 minutes
Average time per mile: 17 minutes
Listened to:
1st & 2nd mile: Future of Forestry - Twilight Album
3rd mile: Eminem - Mosh, System of a Down - Toxicity Album
Thought about:
1st mile: “huh, this isn’t so bad. nice weather, not too hot at 7:30am. i really wish Bruno (our dog) would stop stopping to sniff everything.”
2nd mile: “why the crap does my shoulder hurt? i think i need to invest in better shoes. boy, i’m glad i dropped bruno off after the first mile. must keep sweat out of eyes. for being such a big guy, my ipod earbuds seem to slip out of my ears an awful lot… do i have small ears?”
3rd mile: “this freakin’ sucks. why doesn’t my shoulder hurt anymore? alright… this sucks, but i refuse to quit. i can’t believe i won’t have to ask for a seat belt extender when i fly to florida in six months.”
Finish: “i bet i could have done four miles…”

Keep it up, Josh! Brent and I are both totally excited for you and anxious to watch that weight melt off of you. :-)
Brent - I don’t know what to say. You are more than a good friend to Josh and I sincerely thank you.
Pete - you are such an inspiration to my son. Thank you.
Josh - you are such an inspiration to me. When you were young, you looked up to your parents. What a blessing to be able to look up to my child.
…and one more thing…..
If you don’t want me sending sappy mom stuff, call me instead of making me read about you on your blog!!!!!
:)
Meh, I don’t care… I’m all about sappy mom stuff… you just better not mind other people reading your sappy mom stuff ;-)
As an old 80’s rap guy used to say:
YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYY! (Biblical Translation Phil: 4:13)
I will have to tell you about joint vs muscle pain someday. There is a difference and you will experience and get over both.
I like that lap belt objective!
Now the next time you walk that same route try to finish just a little faster. Even if it is only 1 minute faster.
YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYY!
HA! Did Pete see my comment here?
