Da Boys 1st Run??

(Thursday)

I have spoken in great detail about my boys (Crew and Rawley) and how much they mean to me and the bond that we share (a proverbial father by any sense to them). The way they greet me with the intensity and excitement as if I was Homer returning from the Trojan War (read the book The Odyssey, and become as learned as I) every day as I come home from the daily grind. In every essence my kindred spirits, which unfortunately I have inadvertently not giving enough attention to in my humble opinion. Therefore, even after a long day, getting home at 7:45 I needed to make an effort to support there needs, as they have helped with mine.

One of my biggest problems to date is my weight... Or the lack thereof! I know all you flamers are going to say Justin you suck your complaining about losing weight, blow it out of you ass I don't want to hear about it... Well then don't listen. Look there is a healthy way to lose weight, and I am not doing it!! I am just strictly not consuming, I am still having to force myself to eat... not enjoying the process as I usually do, not having the passion to cook (which really bothers me BTW, it was one of my favorite pastimes). I need to take the initiative to do it the right way, so I decided to take Da Boys on their first jog (at least with me). Now they are both runners, to be honest I have 1.5 runners, and we all know who is the half (sorry Mr. Pants), but I have never run with them attached to a leash. So in the pitch black I suited up, laced on the tennies, and strapped up the boys... and prepared for a wild ride!

Now what I figured to take place was a tangled mess stopping every 20 feet to readjust, only to end up walking out of frustration. What took place was odd and unexpected. Guess who was leading the way???? Mr. Pants!! Yes, Pig Pants... Fat Pants. No I know what your thinking, Justin you are just making things up to urge the readers to continue on, to entertain... Come on people I can't make this up, because I know with good conscious your not going to believe it anyway... so why write it at all? CAUSE IT HAPPENED!! And if I gain 1 believer it will all be worth it! I was surprised how everything worked out so perfectly... our fearless leader in front, leading the charge and me and Doobies falling in line like good soldiers. Never did we break stride, never a falter down to the bottom of my hill and back up! Good little pace and work out if I do say so myself.

As we labored back home, I started to realize how out of shape I was, and the only thing that helped me make it was the extra 10 pounds I wasn't carrying with me. Opening the door me and Mr. Pants both panting heavily gasping for that precious O2, we both looked at Crew as he stood motionless as if he just woke up from a nap... Are you kidding me!! That little bastard, just rubbing it in our face! He looked up as to say, "Alright guys we gonna go for a real run now?" Oh well can't win them all... But I did feel a little better about my well being, and I did feel better about spending time with the people that are ever prevalent in my life. Wish that they could read, cause I want to tell them that I love them, and their always on my minds... Guess it will have to wait until I get home :0)!

All there is to do now is pick up the fork and insert into mouth! Overweight is something that just sort of snacks up on you.

- Cheers

PS - Just some random shots of the boys, didn't even want to try a pic on the run, plus it was pitch black anyway!
