Family fun day!
Today was a special day. My wife took off work since she has been doing crazy overtime for the last few weeks and needed a day to recharge. She is doing a charity walk pretty soon that will be 13.1 miles two days in a row. Today she wanted to walk….far. We decided to walk out our front door and walk to the 4 Mile Run Trail and walk that to the Mount Vernon Trail. As we walked we saw many different kinds of birds including geese and we saw fish jumping through the surface of the creek leading into the Potomac River. 
We walked about 10.5 miles today in 3:19 minutes. Not to bad considering we stopped a store to use the bathroom, we stopped to watch the fish and we slow walked at the sailboat marina. It was quite a workout despite not causing me to break a big sweat or have me panting out of breath. My leg muscles were burning!
I still had energy to lift at the gym this afternoon. I weight lifted for 56 minutes doing exercising including bench press, leg press, overhead press, cable flies, triceps push downs, cable curls and straight bar curls. It was good!
Dinner tonight was full of protein. My wife baked some tilapia and I steamed broccoli and made some cous cous with raisins in it. Dinner rocked! 
I had to douse the fish in hot sauce, it is the only way to eat it! Unless of course it is pan grilled. The day was great and it was a pleasure to enjoy the whole weekday with my wife.
On a seperate not a family member got hit with bad news, they got laid off. We hope he will fair better than I have so far. A company would be a fool not to hire him! Best wished on the hunt, and enjoy the time off.
Here is a funny thing sweeping the net, The Cinnamon Challenge! Try and eat a whole table spoon of cinnamon. Oh yeah and video it so we all can enjoy it! Here is an example:
