Sweat levels - sweat of the brow Now that's how you get home! Fun ride. I had some stupid teenagers yell at me. They didn't realize they were quickly approaching a red light. I caught them at the light and mysteriously their window was now up. They're lucky I didn't hear what they said or I would have had a nice conversation with them. Instead I yelled at them to keep their window up. Then as they passed me again the window was down, and I yelled at them to roll it back up.

Sometimes I wonder if I took the top 70 quarter milers in the US and they raced me relay style on my bike to work, would I win? Not today. Today was humid, so I took it nice and easy. I didn't want to be in danger of going above a sweat level of 3.

I did not want to get the goose egg for the week, so I went out running. I just took it nice and easy. Here's the real story. It all started on Mother's Day. We made breakfast in bed for my lovely wife. The problem was, I have so many kids, and each one wanted to make her something. So we ended up making her far more food than she would be able to eat. Waffles, pancakes, scrambled eggs, egg mcmuffin, oatmeal, cereal, and some kind of marshmallow creation my 6 year old made. So on Father's Day my wife decided to return the favor. I had eggs benedict, pancakes, sausage patties, sausage links, bacon, chocolate milk, tomato juice, Tampico, oatmeal, and scrambled eggs. I'm sure there was more. I did my best at eating all of it. That's when I noticed the chest pains. I wasn't sure if I had a small heart attack, so I've been taking it easy. Then it started to feel the same as when I strained my rib cage. So I thought maybe it happened when I wrecked my bike. Anyway, I'm stupid for not going to a doctor, but Chuck Norris would never go to a doctor. With Michael Jackson dying this week due to heart failure, there's one thing I can learn from him. That is don't trust the girl next door. She might not be your lover, but she could be a girl that claims that you are the one.
I did the first 3 miles on my own.8:47 average. Then I took Katelynn out for a run. She did 0.63 miles at a 14:59 average.
