Oh Fudge

Yeah, I am screwed. So much for the working out plan. Chalk it up to a combo of lazy and intimidation. I also underestimated the task of traveling 26.2 miles on foot. (Yes, I said traveling on foot, not running). I was given my official time limit, 10 hours. I think this big boy is walking it. I am just too out of shape. That's what 4 years of excessive drinking and no exercise does to you. Let's just say that if you have met me anytime after about 2001 or so, you would be surprised to see my prom pictures. I was a sexy bitch! Now I need to get back to it.

Well yesterday I finally started working out, and I think I am finally going to stick to it. I got an extremely sobering call from Victor. He just ran the half marathon in KC. For those of you that don't know Victor, he probably has about 5 inches of height on me, and I probably got about 40 or so pounds on him, and he is in better shape than me. He said the half marathon was brutal. And I was surprised at what he said the worst part was. He said he wasn't extremely winded, but his feet were killing him. So I am going to actually start preparing. I figure that if I can walk 4 mph, I will finish in about 8:30. I walked for about an hour last night, and at least I wasn't winded. But I can tell my body is rusty. Hopefully 2 months of walking and maybe even some jogging will knock enough rust off. So I decided to walk around Wayne Newton's house last night. He lives about .5 miles from me. I kinda feel bad for him. He has this huge chunk of land. I don't feel bad for him for that, but when he got it 10, 15, 20 years ago, it was the middle of nowhere. It was probably all nice and quiet. But now there is shit all around him. He is across the street from 2 gas stations and a Jack in the Box. If you want to see his chunk of land, go to google maps and enter this address: 3351 E Sunset Rd Las Vegas, NV 89120. Then click on Satellite and you can see a picture of it. I don't know if that is his real address, but it works for this exercise. It is the land that is on the SW corner of Pecos and Sunset. By the way, google maps is fantastic. I highly highly recommend it. Anywho, I was walking around his estate last night. Nothing interesting there, just that I felt pretty decent after it. The only problem was that I was bored as hell. I think I need to steal Marla's ipod when I work out now.

We actually won another softball game a few weeks ago. We have 4 games left this season. So far through 3 seasons we are a combined 2-36. Pretty frustrating. We should've won last week. We were winning by 3 going into the bottom of the last inning. Their tieing runner was on 3rd, and our shortstop fielded a grounder. End the game, right? Nope, how about throw away the ball, tieing run scores, and winning run moves to second. Ouch. You know what eventually happened.

By the way, I didn't think I was coming home for Thanksgiving, but it looks like I am now. Start planning Wednesday Night. Also, Turkey Bowl XIV. Wow, XIV.
