DOUG ON THE GO

Doesn't it always make you feel better when you go for a nice run or a good work out? Sometimes it can really clear your mind and give you a good sweat.  After my run yesterday I was drenched with sweat but totally worth it.  The good news is when you eat just after you run your adrenaline is still pumping and it helps break down the fatty acids, more so than just eating without exercising. 

 I try to run three miles every other day, seems like here of lately its only been a couple days per week because my sleep schedule is so jacked up and sometimes I feel lethargic when I get off and just want to grab my blanket and sleep.

 

Off subject for a moment, I'm watching the news and they are showing birds on the Gulf coast covered with oil... so disturbing. It's a shame the rig blew up in mid April and there's still no stopping the leakage. Tragic. 

 

In under 12 hours I fly to Indianapolis on AirTran and I still haven't packed. When I checked in yesterday I was the first person to check in for both my flights so I got the seats I wanted right off the bat. Advice: Always check into your flight soon as your allowed.  The middle seat sucks and that's one place you don't want to be stuck for a few hours.  Even though I cant wait to head up to Indy, it's hard to get motivated to pack up. Don't believe me? Check out all the clothes on my bed. Kind of embarrassing!  Packing is the only part of a trip that I don't look forward too... or the laundry when I return!

 

So I totally forgot yesterday that Joan Rivers was performing at the Florida Theatre. When I got off work yesterday morning I sent Matt a text to ask him if we could get tickets to the show and we did.  She was ripping on Jacksonville and how ugly the buildings are, Tom Cruise, all the way to Gary Coleman.  I know its a comedy act but some of the material may have been a little bit in bad taste or too soon. 

 

Joan holds nothing back on her stand up routine and I havent laughed that much in months, it was great therapy. She performed for almost two hours.  We tried to get in her meet and greet line to meet her after the show but security were being real sticklers about it.  So after the show, we waited out by the limo. We were going to see Joan Rivers dammit!  People couldnt believe I was going to see Joan Rivers perform but she IS a legend. Shes like 77 -- she wont be around much longer!

 

Have you ever been to a Joan Rivers performance? It' s a must see!
