Last night, due to the circumstances and because it is
partly tradition we had Chinese food for dinner after Kelly came home. Our Chinese restaurant is a hole in the wall
dive that has some of the best take out food around. Even her parents, who have a Chinese restaurant
two minutes from where they live drive to our place when they want really good Chinese. I say this because I have eaten there
hundreds of times and never any problems, but last night was something else all
together.
I know that Mexico has Montezuma’s Revenge but what do
the Chinese have? Genghis Kahn’s
revenge? What did I do to make Mr. Kahn so angry that he decided to make my
life so uncomfortable. I was miserable
all day. I don’t think I need to fill in
any details since I am sure you all have been there before. My breath had a slight chalky freshness to it
from all the shots of Pepto-Bismol I did.
Now, with a 4 hour sleep night and Mr. Kahn being angry
at me for no apparent reason I did not get up this morning and commence to my
AM exercise. It had to wait.
Has the day ever gotten away from you? It seems to get
away from me all the time. Even when I
am paying close attention. After I
started feeling better I still had to drive home from work. At roughly 11:30 this morning someone decided
to play demolition derby on I285 south bound and block all 5 lanes of
traffic. It cleared around 1:30 PM just
in time for the afternoon thunder storms to move in and make an even bigger
mess of traffic. Driving home today was
no picnic and it took over an hour.
At home it was threatening to rain. We still had to go out and get something for
dinner. Etc. Etc. Etc. You get my
point. I am sure this is what happens to
you all the time. Bottom line is I wasn’t
able to get in a jog until after 7PM.
I was tired. I was
hungry. I was aggravated. And I didn’t want to do it. The best part was that Kelly was home and was
able to jog with me. Even after I had a
head start not only did she pass me but I couldn’t keep up with her.
Whether it was Mr. Kahn or my own body, I got the message
today and went back to eating Paleo. I
definitely feel better when I eat that way.
Who would hate a dinner of steak and fresh zucchini out of the
garden? Perhaps Genghis Kahn or maybe his
right hand man General Tsao? Either way I have learned a lesson that will
stick with me for two or maybe even three weeks.
Daily Recap:
Matt: Jog, 31
minutes and 2.1 miles after 7PM at a 14:52 Minute pace
Kelly: Jog, 30
minutes and 2.3 miles after 7PM much faster than me.
