Journey Through Lent (Part 3)

I haven't updated in a while, and I'm not going to lie, I've been receiving some curt feedback regarding my negligence.

So, since I last left off Chris was in the fight of his life refraining from meat and alcohol. Things took a turn about 4 weeks in, when I was forced to buy him some B Vitamins, because he passed out at the gym in the middle of a sit-up. Funny is funny, but I'd rather he didn't pass out while driving or something.

Three days after he got the B-Vitamins into his system, combined with the weight loss, he started to get a little cocky. One night before we were about to go to sleep he said, "You know, I think I should run in the Mother's Day Marathon", so of course I said, "I absolutely agree, just because you've never run one single distance race in your life, that's no reason why you can't train for a marathon in six weeks." To which he replied, "You know I did a 10 minute walk/run on the treadmill today, and I ran almost a mile, so that times 26...I think it's quite reasonable!" So I said, "As do I! I can't think of anything more appropriate for you to do at this point in your life. In fact, the marathon has an online application forum, and I could sign you up right now!" And of course he then said, "Well, maybe I'll just sleep on it."

So, as of yet, it hasn't happened, but my enthusiasm for him to run a marathon, by the end of May, has not waned.

Everyone keeps commenting on how much weight he's lost, and every time they do he sucks in and flexes, and he's like "Oh, really? You think? I hadn't noticed." He also got caught at work flexing in a mirror; he forgot that there was a client in the back, and he was checking out his pipes when she came around the corner. He was in a position that could not have been mistaken for doing anything else, but checking himself out (in fact I believe he was kissing his bicep when she walked in), needless to say, it was an awkward "Good-bye".
