My workout today can best be summed up by quoting the famous philosopher, Dick Greyson who once blurted, "Holy burning biceps, Batman!"
Ryan, my trainer and closet crack pipe smoker, today revealed my laughable upper body condition. By the end of today's session, I felt like a limbless cast member of "Kill Bill." Saturday's day of rest cannot arrive soon enough.
After my run yesterday, I felt surprisingly energized. In the afternoon, I went for a long walk around the town and was reminded of this simple town's beauty and elegance. I many ways, St. Andrew's is a microcosm of Boston. St. Andrew's and Boston's vitality derive from their inordinately high percentage of college students and their proximity to the ocean. Both towns are rich in education, culture, architecture and history. But I continue to observe one significant difference between St. Andrew's and Boston. The people here could give Bostonians a lesson or two about friendliness. If you visit here, it will be one of the first things you will notice.
Not much for today, I'm actually too bloody tired to type. I know, it's a lame excuse. I am sticking to the plan however and that's what counts.
At the moment, I remain,
Devising yet another plan, this one, to "Kill Ryan"

I love it - GO RYAN! let me just tell you that you can think as hard as you'd like, but you will not come up with a plan to "Kill Ryan" - as much as you may despise him, you're looking forward to yet another day of torture. ha ha.
I wish I was there to enjoy the simplicity of life over there with you - sounds amazing! And I can't tell you enough how proud I am of you - that you're sticking to the PLAN. You ROCK!

Hi Mike,
I love getting your updates. When you come back, lets go for a run along the Charles! However being the whimp that I am, I have a few condidtions: it must not be too early in the am, it can't be raining and snow is certainly out of the question. Let's book a date now for May!
Glad you are enjoying yourself and are spending your time as you wish to spend it.
We certainly miss you!
