I'm Not Crazy 'Cuz I Take the Right Pills Every Day

I've decided to get fit. I need to. I've been doing so much of nothing physical for oh, the past two years or so, that I feel like a mound of mashed potatoes. I think what triggered it was that while a cohort of mine and I were trekking about on some aimless mission for work today and stopped in to Panera Bread to get a sandwich and salad. We were waiting in line and I saw this woman I used to run with when we were training for the OKC Marathon. She looked good and it reminded me of all the fun (and some of the pain) I had when I was running and how good I usually felt afterward (I can't say I always felt good...I came home and puked the first time I ran for four hours straight).

Anyway, I take my vitamins, minerals, oils, try to eat healthy, etc. But, dammit, I don't get enough exercise. My cohort with whom I was lunching is very health concious and has been inspiring me as well. He's running at least three times a week, so I'm feeling guilty that I'm not...ok, maybe that's not the truest definition of inspiration, but whatever blows your skirt up, I guess.

So, it's time to get movin'. The days are getting cooler (only 95 and humid as hell here today) and Fall is just around the corner -- primo running weather. I'm also considering trading in my mountain bike and my wife's mountain bike for a road bike. I don't think I've ever taken the damn mountain bike off road anyway.

What do you do for exercise? Drop a comment and let me know. I'm always lookin' for new things to try. I've been doing WAY too many 12oz curls lately, so let me know how you keep in shape.
