Family fun day hiking in Rock Creek Park.
To day was a great day filled with sharing family fun together. We hiked, and then we had a great cookout in the back yard. I over ate in calories and fat content but I was the one picking picking the meal i
Happy Friday!
Today was a day off from work so I could handle some things around the house. I still got up early and jogged with my wife, showered then went back to bed. I was up again at 7:15 am and began rearranging furniture in our computer room. Our computer room is scary. It looks like hoarders have been using it for storage, I had to slide things one way so I could move something else another way. I spent hours getting things where they need to be. After that chore I needed to go back to the computer store to exchange a faulty power supply in my new computer. It was working OK but once it heated up the fan was making a rubbing noise so it was best to replace it now. That turned into hours between the driving, construction!!!!, and swapping out the unit and getting home. Once home though I was able to get online and fire up Diablo 3. The game rocks. Some aspects of the game are not as good as Diablo 2 like individual character development with skill points foe strength, dexterity, etc. Diablo 3 does not have that extra customization so you are not really building your own character as much as you are playing a character. The other thing not so great is you need to be logged into their servers for single play as well as co-op play. That may not sound like a big deal but take tonight for instance, I was ready to play into the late evening but I got an instant message 5 minute warning letting me know the servers were going to be taken down for an hour for maintenance. Well I did not want to stop playing then. If I could play the game local on my machine it would not have affected me. Oh Well, what can you do, you got to play the cards you were dealt.
Oh I forgot to mention, when my wife got home we decided to walk to a local resturaunt for dinner. From there we walked to the Baskin robins for some desert. Hey atleast we walked 2.2 miles.

Today rocked. Work was good, the weather was great, I pedaled in, I had a best time for getting home, and I had a great walk with my wife. We had salmon for dinner and enjoyed TV together. Life is good!
Here is one of the many flowers and plants we saw while out on our walk:
Her is dinner, YUM!
We jogged today! WooHoo!
So this morning we headed out and did a 3 mile jog. I was feeling great and my wife a little slow. you know what that means… I was faster than her today! Well at least in the begining and the final sprint. If we were jogging an event she would have passed me what I slowed down and I would not have seen her again until the finish line, where she would be waiting for me.
So I worked hard all day and then hit the gym. I “took it easy” and did 30 minutes on the eliptical machine. I got home to start cooking dinner and my wife got home minutes latter and decided she wanted to cook me dinner. Who was I to refuse such an offer. She made ground turkey balls seasoned with middle eastern spices and also made us bulgar wheat. It was another great meal!

Today was a really decent day. I jogged with my wife in the morning (but felt really tired and not into it), took a nap once I got home, woke up and went to work. Work flew by and I was lifting in the gym before I new it. Then it was home to some vegitarian lasagna ( spinach and eggplant, YUM!) and TV with my wife. Life is good!
Another week gone by. I feel pretty good about today. This weekend was the first weekend in a long time that was not all about walking really long distances. Today we went out for a 2 hour bike ride. It was a beautiful day, the sun was shining and lots of folks were out. We rode along the Potomac river on the mount Vernon trail. What a day!

While on the way home my wife and I saw something too funny. A Cab Driver was yanking out nose hairs at a red light!
Friday! and I am exhausted, I did not jog with my wife at all this week so I missed out on the bonus 45 min to 1 hour of sleep I would get by laying back down after the jog. I feel like I could have used it this time. It is 8pm and I can barely stay awake.
