4-5 blocks?

I had a blister as big as my fist after 2 blocks.....

Unbeliveably, all we did was eat out, and I had a bacon cheeseburger at our favorite little diner everyday for BREAKFAST, and I STILL lost a couple pounds when I weighed myself at home when I got back...apparantly, walking a lot is GOOD FOR YOU!!!!! :idea:

OK ... heres a thought for you then.

Why don't you come to Gen Con isn Queensland 2008. The benefits are:

1. Gaming

2. Lots of beaches with associated scenery

3. Al and I can set up a training program to get you back in shape so I don't have to hear anymore complaints whinging about blisters the size of footballs.

:wink:

Yikes!!! That first one of me you can almost see all the way up my pantleg. Thank goodness I wasnt wearing a kilt or going commando.

Not that I ever "go commando" mind you. It chafes.
