Long aweful flight home yesterday.  I should have just waited and taken my normally scheduled direct flight home today.  Obama was in Miniapolis and screwed up all the flights.  We sat on the tarmak for 2 hours waiting for AirForce One to finally take off.  That guy just messes things up everywhere he goes.

So, I was pretty sore after sitting on the plane all day yesterday, but I was already on East coast time and up at 3:30 this morning so I just did a longer than normal elliptical session.

At least you're staying fit. No thanks to Obama!!!!

No, unfortunately I'm so fat and out of shape I'm embarrassed to tell people I'm even a runner. :(.

It will all come back together someday Rob. Just keep doing what you can, when you can.

It's amazing how much little things can keep your motivation up. Like the last two nights I was stuck at parent-teacher conferences until past eight and I was cranky that the long days were screwing up my running schedule. So whenever I'd get a couple minute lull between parents, I'd knockout a few push-ups and sit-ups next to my desk. I think I got a couple hundred of each in and this morning I'm a little sore. But at least I feel like I did something positive.

I know there's not much you can do when you're stuck on a plane though.

Maybe I should start doing pushups on the plane. When ever I fly to China there are always little Chinese people doing Tichi in the hallway. I make fun of them in my mind but think it's probably a really good idea!
