....but my all time favorite is the ridiculous ROM (range of motion) workout machine which will give you a total cardio, resistance and flexibility worlout in 4 minutes a day for only $15,000.00....
But I suppose some people might say that giving a whole lot of money to Ironman Canada for the privilige of abusing your body for half a day is a better example yet, To each his own I guess. The examples I gave you all come from a magazine that I think is on every airplane that plies the sky...something called Skymall. You admire all the stuff while you're sitting there bored stiff and then you can go home and order it delivered to your door.
Despite my cynical attitude I do admit that I have more money than brains-but alas- it's not because I have a lot of money!!
I did achieve a few things today other than wasting my time with the onboard magazine. I pretty well completed my workout calendar for the next 11 weeks and I'm quite happy with it.
I also got home in time for a brisk 10.4 km run which I did in just under 47 minutes, and then I did my weights tonite. I don't think I'll ever start to enjoy that part of the training but I need to keep doing it for another 7 weeks. Thank god for Peters help on this one or I would not be doing it I'm sure.
I wish to dedicate day 267 to my high school math teacher Mr Singh, who was one of the very few who realized that my brain wasn't ready yet.
...so on money...
“Money never made a man happy yet, nor will it. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one."---Benjamin Franklin
“Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping."---Bo Derek
...and on brains...
“There is a foolish corner in the brain of the wisest man."---Aristotle
"When you get to your third millionth frequent flyer mile, I think something snaps in your brain."---Jeff Foxworthy
...and on both...
“Money without brains is always dangerous."---Napoleon Hill

I was the manager for Mr Singh's soccer team. He was going to pay me $5 for that. I may the circular coordinates graph paper for him. He was going to pay me $5 for that too. So far I got nothin. Maybe it was all payback for what you put him through!
