Not really. I wish I were a runner but I'm not. Not yet anyway. Years ago, (God I sound old when I use that phrase) I think it was in the 80's, I watched one of the first Ironman Triathlons on ABC's Wide World of Sports. I was fascinated by it. It was well before the race had the popularity it has today. I can remember the people literally crawling over the finish line. I was just awestruck (is that a word?) at the dedication and passion that those people had. It was just amazing. A little while after that I actually told a guy I worked with that I was going to train for one. Yeah right. I don't think I took one step towards that goal. I suck.
Anyway, now I read about triathlons and marathons and the people who compete in them on their blogs on the Internet. I must say that I think these people are just awesome. They are so passionate about their sport and it is so inspiring. Who knows, maybe one day...Yeah right. Right now I get winded putting my socks on. I suck.
I am however, starting "The Abs Diet" tomorrow. I read the book months ago but never really got going on the diet. Hmm. I've only done that about 100 times before. I suck. Anyway, I've been talking with my wife lately about my eating habits and she's going to help me out. We went shopping this morning and spent a lot on the food. Gotta have the food in the house or you're in trouble! Who knows, I might even be able to meet some of my goals. I really need to do something about this. And then? Maybe I won't suck anymore. ;)
