Our construction field inspector at work had to have hernia surgery.  That means I have to do his work while he's away.  I put 57 hours in at work last week.  Everyday I'd say to myself, "I need to go running when I get home.  It's a beautiful day, and I feel great!"  Then a couple of hours later I'd say, "Ow.  My legs hurt.  I've been walking all day.  And these 10 hour days are killing me!"  So, I didn't run for a few days.  

Today there were no excuses.  I had to get out.  It was 39° out.  That shoulda been an excuse, but then I remembered everybody else in the world.  So I ran, and I felt great.

Good job Burt.

You have some catching up to do. A five mile run will help.

From Burt on Tue, Jan 15, 2013 at 17:13:36 from 71.216.109.214

Thanks DaleG!

Tracy - or maybe you could stop and let me catch up :)

Bien hecho. 57 hours! Are there even that many hours in a week?

Not on the Mayan calendar.

There's an Inca guy in our ward. I asked him about his calendar and he didn't seem to know what I was talking about.
