Hey, once a Texan, always a little bit Texan.

It’s interesting though, since I left California, I don’t see nearly as many serious speedsters on the road. I was actually surprised by that, especially when I was driving through Montana. All that wide open space and a 75 mph speed limit and you’d think everyone would be doing 85-90 or worse… but mostly not.

Wow, I somehow missed everyone’s comments here. Not sure what is up with that - but thanks, Cynthia, for commenting - it alerted me that there were folks here leaving their thoughts!

On Texans: Oh man…I knew I would catch some flack for that one….And yeah, so long, Minnesotans, dontchyaknow.

Careful what you say about Texans!

Besides, being a Texan myself, I can tell you that it is the Minnesotan drivers who are good at hitting things. To be specific about it, having driven through that states, I’m pretty sure that ROADKILL Bambi must be the Minnesota state animal. I’ve never seen so many large dead things by the side of the road in my entire life… and I was born Texan and grew up there.

See, now I’ve turned off the Minnesota readership for you as well, LOL!

[…] other note to my credit: Regular exercise has definitely taken root. I ran another 3.5 miles this morning, which makes another 3 sessions […]

I just finished week two of the plan, and then looked at week 3. Man, this is going to be a tough week. I’ll be glad if i can get past day one!

Hmmm, just tonight I took a 2 mile walk with my husband (a 230 pound man), 2 of our 3 daughters, and our two dogs. We walked on a busy, 2 lane, country road here in West TEXAS. All the drivers moved way over to the other side of the road, and they waved hello at us, too. Maybe you haven’t really spent enough time in Texas, or at least rural Texas.

I’m glad you’ve fallen into an exercise routine. I’ started the walking daily mostly for the sake of the dogs. The Dog Whisperer is right; dogs behave better when they go for walks every day. I keep thinking I’ll get up early and ride my stationery recumbent bike, but for now it makes a lovely valet. The aforementioned 230 pound husband and I are going to start the 100 pushups regimen, too.

What a classic title and great read as well!

I’m on week two of the pushups plan now, and so far so good. My arms are definitely feeling it!

@Andrew: Yep, I think something might be wrong with me. . .I woke up this morning and immediately did my push-up challenge for the day and 60 crunches for good measure. I think I may be possessed.

@abileneblues: My sister is moving from College Station as we speak (she’s somewhere between here and there), but I’ve never been to Texas…all just supposition — Thanks for hangin’ in there. I will try not to make blanket statements about anyone’s state anymore.
