Get Fit Slowly

Here’s a little tidbit that you probably don’t know about us.  Until yesterday, JD and Mac have never actually worked out together!  Isn’t that crazy?  Two guys who co-write a fitness blog have never worked out together.

From time to time, JD and I get together for a “business meeting.”  Originally, it was supposed to be monthly.  But we live more than an hour away from each other.  Also, I have kids and a wife:  JD has cats and a wife.  These things make it difficult for us to hang out a whole lot.  We used to hang a lot.  We’d play video games, read books, eat Good N Plenty and bridge mix.  But we’d NEVER work out together and we were fatter.

But yesterday, we got permission from the cats, kids, and wives to hang out for a bit.  So JD drove the 1+hour down to Salem and we met at the park for a nice 3-mile-run.  We talked while we ran.  It was nice to see him and to hear how he’s doing.  It was nice to hear him talk about how he’s feeling happier.  But the nicest thing about the afternoon was getting out in the chilly November sunshine and breathing the fresh air.  Did I mention that there was sunshine…in November?  It was awesome.

Then we went out for a meal and talked some more about GFS, GRS, politics, blogs, exercise, and all kinds of stuff that interests us.  And instead of getting fatter we stayed the same.  Because two guys who co-write a fitness blog worked out together–finally!
