on the road again

hello from findlay, ohio! yes, i'm on another business trip, this time at our company's headquarters. fortunately, i'll be home tomorrow. i did a little workout tonite in the hotel's fitness room, then i did some "swimming" in the pool. i said "swimming" because considering how small the pool is, i really don't consider it a workout. it's more like wading and splashing around. plus, the pool was full of kids. and speaking of the kids... there were 3 or 4 boys and probably about 8-10 girls between the ages of around 8-18. from the way they acted, i'm pretty sure they were all related somehow. here's the weird thing. all of the girls were at least 50lbs overweight - even the young ones! BUT, the boys were all rail-thin! i don't get it. do the boys go out to hunt for the food and give it to the girls, like cavemen? are they fattening up the girls so they can eat them? hmmm. anyway, i thought that was strange. there's nothing like being surrounded by a herd of fat, obnoxious girls. i can't wait until i leave tomorrow.
on to other business... wil made a good comment to my last post. i was complaining about my slow 9 mile run, she astutely pointed out that there are so many people that couldn't run 9 miles at all. that's so true. you know, sometimes when we do these runs we just take them for granted. 6 miles here, 8 miles there, etc. for me, i get to the point where i don't fully appreciate that, although i am a middle to back of the pack runner/triathlete, the fact that i am any kind of runner/triathlete means that i am still fitter than 95% of the general public. thanks, wil! sometimes i need a little slap like that...

YAY! I'm glad this helped. You're right, sometimes we don't give ourselves the credit we deserve, and just need a reminder every once in a while. I know I find myself there, too. Glad you're feeling better!

That's right baby! When you look at it like that we are the ELITE!!!
Most times I don't feel like it though... :)
