Hey Bart, you guys are so skinny - Don't they feed you over there in Belgium?

Just teasing of course - I'm just jealous because I haven't been in shape that good since second grade - and now one of my legs weighs more than your whole body.

You look like you finished strongly and not even breathing hard. Congratulations on your athletic prowess.

Now, go sit down, relax, and put on some gentle music. You make me tired!

Julian

Great picture Randy. And finally a picture of a person who looks more like a human being than these athletic string-beans we have been looking at in the past few posts.

Motor cycle racers, triathlon runners, my foot. Lead me to the snack bar any old time - we can watch these over-muscled morons strut their stuff over a piece of apple pie with ice cream.

My own (sorta old - same age as I ) wife finished second in her age group in a half marathon a couple of weeks ago. I'm still tired from watching her. She put pictures of herself finishing the thing on the front of the refrigerator, hoping to deter me from snacking - Ha!

I think I'll go out and drive my golf cart around the neighborhood to get a little exercise.

Join me Randy?

Julian

OK Julian, try to sit down now, but Dee Dee Bridgewater makes me rise again and dance!
