Advil, aloe, and alcohol - I hurt.
 

so i did a good deed today. i volunteered for the Corporate Challenge for Kohls. Every year, corporations around here get together and compete in a variety of physical events with the focus on childrens events and children. So i volunteered for the following events: the tug-o-war, the 55m dash, and the 3-on-3 mens basketball.

i showed up today at 9:30am. i left at 6:45pm. not bad, but when you consider that the entire time i was outside, without sunscreen, running, pulling, and counting sit-ups for the kids in three-digit temperatures . . . i hurt. and im burned. my muscles are aching because im not in shape. well, round is a shape, right? i came in 7th in my group the 55m dash [there were 8 people] and my team went 0-2 in the tug-o-war. but its for the kids!

and now, im treating my wounds so i can go back tomorrow and do the same thing. basketball instead of tug-o-war and 55m. my medicine? you guessed it. Advil, Aloe lotion, and a smidge of alcohol.


kill me.

Join my landscaping crew and you'll learn the definition of pain. :lol: At least it was cool today, only mid 60s for highs. But for the past 3 weeks its been in the upper 80s lower 90s non stop for work. On Monday I lifted 92lbs keystone blocks up a hill for 2 hrs strait. Just tryin to make ya feel better.

I feel your pain!! It is a good thing you are doing and you will get your reward for your good deed.

It was hotter than a mo fo today and Jeff worked on my car doing preventative maintenance and I was having a yard sale. I made $190 for 2 1/2 days and have a lot more room now for more stuff :lol:

Seriously, keep yourself hydrated while in the heat like that. I got sick to my stomach because I was so hot today.
