Boot Camp - Day 1


My cousin and I joined a four-week, five-days-a-week boot camp. Monday, Wednesday and Friday cardio and strength training. Tuesday and Thursday yoga. Today was day one. Day one started at 5am, when I picked up J, who could barely speak English at that time. We started out w/ some stretching and jumping jacks, followed by running two laps around the park. I ran about one and a half. Next we did some wall sits, pushups, climb ups... more jumping jacks, jump rope, lunges. Gosh. I'm pooped! And my abs are killing me.

I'm pretty pumped, even though this is totally going to kick my ass. The trainer did a body composition test first.. with one of those pinchy things. I'm at 25.5% body fat. Which is just above the average, but well above what's considered to be ideal.

Tomorrow's yoga. Umm.. yah. We'll see how that goes. Bet J topples over at least six times. Taking at least one other person out with her (hi).

Low-flying planes

Ok, I know it's been a couple of weeks since the "OMG! There's a plane in Manhattan" debauchery. But, it's still on the news. So, I'm going to talk about it.

One simple question: Doesn't the government have access to Photoshop? Because, by paying some designer (actually an intern would do it for free), you could save 300K and get 30 images of AirForce One flying over NYC. Or, the Taj Mahal, or the Eiffel Tower, or Mars!

God, I'd do it for $20. Or an iced coffee. What morons.

And that, my good people, is why I'd make a great president. Although, I really don't care about alot of stuff. And I'm kinda lazy. Also, terrible at geography. I didn't *know* where Pennsylvania was until I actually drove there myself. (I grew up in NY.)
