So I started a new 5 week weight cycle yesterday.
Overhead presses: 190 x 5, 205 x 5, 215 x 5. Hooray.
More importantly, I strapped on my HR monitor and went for an honest to goodness run this morning. That was humbling. I'm not in so good shape, eh? But, I have a goal now. One in which peak physical fitness is an absolute necessity. I'm exploring a possible career change, but I'm not going to say much more than that about it. Never know who is reading this stupid thing. At the moment, it's pretty much just a pipe dream; but I think there is enough of a chance to motivate me to get my ass in shape and actually go all out for it. It scares me to think about packing up and moving for another job. We've certainly got our little comfort zone here. But the truth is, I'm no more comfortable here than I was when we moved here over five years ago. I have one of the most meaningless jobs I can imagine. All I do is help rich guys get richer. That's it. They were drilling oil wells long before the advent of computers. I just can't imagine waking up ten years from now doing the same thing in the same place that I'm at now. This job has undeniably been a blessing, but in my heart I feel like it's time to move on. I have no idea when that will happen or how, but I feel it coming. Please pray for us. I believe we're going to have some hard decisions to make over the course of the next year.

That's a good thing, mate. Hard choices make you feel alive. i'll surely be praying for you. You should look for a job here. That'd be fat. And not in snytown.
i've been dying to start running again m'self. Maybe i'll join you. Just found my hr monitor a few days ago, and i'm taking it as a sign.
Prayers be there my brother. I'll follow you on my bike like that fat dude on mike tysons punch out!
