Today is my daughter, Ashley's, 17th birthday! Please join me in wishing her a Happy Birthday! We took her out for an Italian dinner. I had meatballs and salad. It was delicious. We had alot of fun. Today I had some time to think (took the day off) and I started thinking about a concert I attended on Friday with my son, Matthew. Matty got invited by a hockey friend to go see As I Lay Dying (a Christian hard core band) at the Grove in Anaheim. I went along to chaperone. I actually like the music, but was not impressed with what I had heard on MP3. The concert itself was incredibly good. The music was very powerful and the band was extremely good live. However, what struck me is how hard the crowd was working during the show. Here were a bunch of kids who probably would never want to touch iron at the gym and they were busy moshing. Yes, they were pushing and shoving each other around. They even did crowd surfing! I was amazed at how much my leg strength came into play while this was going on. You see, I love being up front when a good band is playing, but with this band, up front was the war zone! I had to use my leg strength to avoid being pushed down by the many people pushing and shoving. Who would have thought that I could use my weight training at a concert? |

Today was a nice interval cardio session on the step mill. 30 minutes with the heart rate bouncing between 145 BPM and 105 BPM. What a fun time! |
