    I'm slowing down the average, it's true.

    but not as much as these people: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLRH5E3N3iA

      I'm slowing down the average, it's true.

      What the hell did I just watch.

        I'm slowing down the average, it's true.

        Thanks a lot.

         

        There's 2 minutes and 27 seconds of my life I'll never see again.

         

        That was the worst remake of Mousercise I've ever seen.

        Birdwell


           

          My $ is on you for today's meltdown.

           

          I accept your challenge.

           

          I am slow because I am fat. I'm fat, but I used to be obese. I don't like fat Birdwell, but I didn't mind obese Birdwell all that much.

           

          I didn't realize that I was obese when I was obese. I thought I was fat, but I wasn't. My obese was regular America's "big". My current fat is America's "in shape" and Canada's "regular"

           

          When I get fit (American Translation= "way too thin") I will be fast, but 2013 fast, not 1980 fast. 2013 fast is 1980 slow.

           

          I like pie.

            Damn.  That's the runner's version of getting Rickrolled.

            Short term goal: 17:59 5K

            Mid term goal:  2:54:59 marathon

            Long term goal: To say I've been a runner half my life.  (I started running at age 45).

              Nah... I'm PMS, which means I just want to argue endlessly. Big grin

               

              If you're still getting a period, you still have fat you can lose.

                  I still have fat, yes. But like everyone here, I like that fat and don't want to lose it. Smile But I know it's there.

                   

                  Btw, when I stop getting my period, I'll have more important things to worry about than just fat...
