So at 3:00 this morning the night light from my 4 year olds room woke me up, I got up and looked in and couldn't see him in his bed so I started looking around the house in the usual spots, bathrooms, other kids rooms, basement, but I couldn't find him anywhere. I started freaking out and was just about to wake everyone in the house for a massive kid hunt. I went back in his room and he was at the head of his bed curled up in a tiny little ball covered in all his blankets, pillows and stuffed animals. The furnace must have blown his door open.

Anyway, the point of that story was that I had lots of extra time this morning.

Went to the gym, got in the hot tub for a few minutes, it was really hard to get motivated, jumped in the pool, swam 48 laps in 55 minutes (pretty good for me) got back in the hot tub for a few more minutes, changed and went to the weight room for 50 minutes of lifting. Felt like I got a really good workout, but I'm pretty tired now.

I just noticed I have Zero followers visiting my blog, Geez, I stop running for 2 weeks and everyone gives up on me, you people are ruthless...

You get like a billion motivation points for actually doing a workout AFTER going in the hot tub, and not just taking a nap!

They keep the pool so cold I have to over heat in the hot tub first so I don't go into shock when I first jump in.

i agree -- i would have no motivation to workout after a warm hot tub on a cold morning. nice job with the swimming. i didn't give up on you because you aren't running -- i honestly just don't have time for blogging these days. which is why i am blogging instead of working...

In my eyes you're a follower, just not according to Fastrunningblog. :)

Rob, I know how you feel buddy. I think I got like two comments on my last marathon! It didn't bother me as much as it would have several years ago. You have to remember that this is an experiment of one and in the end it's really up to you to get out of it what you want. To look back at how far you have come, all the weight you lost and the challenge that entails, well I tell ya you have my respect man.

Thanks Steve, I actually wasn't really upset about it, I was just trying to be funny. I have noticed that the more active I am on the blog the more active my blog becomes. My work schedule is very streaky so sometimes (like today) I have lots of time to waste. Sometimes I barley have enough time to get my entry in. So I can only blame myself that people don't like me as much as Jake and Allie :) Oh, and they win races which for some reason people think is cool.

Oh! and thanks for reminding me I used to be fat!
