Robin commented this morning about a pace car for for the Talladega 500. This made me think of my work truck. This truck is a fantastic conversation piece at business networking events. I have a lot of fun with it. It’s really funny when people slow down on the interstate because they believe that this is a cop car. Hellooooo, the lightbar is yellow. Also, I have a lot of people ask me for directions. It happened again this morning at St Vincents when I went to workout. A lady flagged me down, and then laughed when she read the side of the truck. I had no clue where she needed to go. Every day is an adventure in this truck. Oh, and yes, the light bar works. Everybody asks me if the lightbar works.

Okay, today I did a real workout. First, I started with a 12 minute warm up walk. Then I walked three flights of stairs. Next, I did three sets, twelve reps each of squats with no weights. Then I did three sets, 6 reps each of calf raises. After that, I swam ten laps, and finished it off with stretching. Today, my legs were sore. It wasn’t too terrible.

Tomorrow I am not exercising so my legs can rest. Wednesday, I’ll tackle arms. I might tackle core on Thursday because the gym will be closed on Friday.

Friday and Saturday I hope to get some walking in. I really want to start walking a mile on Tues, Thur, and Sat.

My friend Kevin Charles called me this afternoon to tell me how glad he was that I am doing this lifestyle change. Thank you Kevin. I hope to see you on Labor Day.

Also, thank you to everyone for your comments. I am overwhelmed with support.

Have a great Tuesday everybody.
