Just Not Fit.
Whilst I was away in the U.S. I tried to exercise. Honest. I worked out in the hotel gyms. I even went out for a run one time. Just because I only went at a snail's pace, and blew up a calf before I got back, I still went for a run. It was cold, I tells ya! So all up, in two weeks I did around 6 sessions, so it wasn't too far off what I do at home.
But today I paid for being out of fitness. One of my colleagues and I went for a lunchtime run. I made it just over 20 minutes in before my body just started to give out. I had to stop and walk, feeling quite lightheaded. It took another 10 minutes to recover enough where I could do a slow jog back to work. It took another hour after that before I felt somewhat normal again. My whole body felt like a dead weight for most of the run.
Then tonight, I had Taekwondo. Most of the session involved sparring. This is when you fight one on one with other participants. Its all non contact, well, its supposed to be. I still managed to get kicked in the arm, which was protecting my face, which meant I smacked myself in the head. This was all due to being so unfit I couldn't protect myself properly after about 3 minutes! I only felt better when I got home and opened a box of chocolate chip cookies.

At least you are trying! That's more that can be said for lots of us.
You'll catch back up now that you are on your normal schedule.

Do you know that here is the US we are so fat that we consume like 9 billion extra gallons of fuel a year?
Also, when you click on Painter Beach Girl's link on your blogroll, you go to a porn site... complete with boobies.
HAHAHAHA Doesn't chocolate chip cookies make everything better!!!

Kristin: I bet Painter Girl doesn't even know .. it's a form of hijacking, poor thing :(
As for excercise .. pass me those cookies ...
I've removed Painter Beach Girls link. As much as I like porn, its not really appropriate nor a recognition of PBG's original blog. A shame that they took it over.
Ummmmm cookies. And yeah, i agree with Lisa up there, at least you are trying! I walk around my huge office building at work on my breaks and that's the sum total of my exercise. *sigh* I like your idea of a workout Angry Cookie Loving Dad.
Shocking about the whole porn links....
