My Name is Jonas

Guess what I received...In the mail today? (Yes that is a direct quote from "My Name is Jonas") I ordered my own personal S**t List. So next time somebody gets on my bad side, I can physically put their name on it. First person to go on it: Adam Carlini for ditching practice for the dodgeball club.
I completely gave up on the half marathon thing. 1) I probably would not have been able to finish it, and 2) I have way too much other stuff to do. So my dreams have died after a little over a week. I am dissappointed in myself. O well!
Random Fact: Birds do not urinate, so the urea extracted by kidneys in mammals goes out with the poop as uric acid. Uric acid dissolves in water easily and thus it comes out as white paste.

Let's Get It Started

So, looking down at my lack of muscular definition has motivated me to start actually working out again. I miss being able to climb four flights of stairs and not being out of breath. So starting tomorrow I am going to try to work out 5 or 6 days a week. Hopefully this will all lead up to running the Lincoln Half Marathon on May 2. I'll track my progress here alongside other posts.
Speaking of having a good figure, I heard a fairly interesting story today. A friend of mine was randomly told that she had a good figure today by somebody that she sees fairly often. He contributed it to her using a new bra or tighter shirts. That has to be one of the most awkward things to say. Somewhat akin to saying "you look beautiful tonight." Does he think that usually she has an average figure or what?
Random Fact: Each pound of muscle (1 pound = 0.45 kilograms) burns 75-100 calories every day simply by being.
