It's Monday and I've got a few leftovers from yesterday's race. Unfortunately, I'm in a bit more pain than I'd normally expect from a 7 miler. Although I've done plenty of whining about the heat and humidity, no more of that. I've got some blister on my right big toe and some pain in my left foot. I'm sure the foot pain is from failing to wear my orthotics. Strangely, it's the first time I've not worn them since they were delivered almost 6 months ago. Hopefully that pain will be gone in a couple of days.
Also, apologies on skimping out on a link for Fort McHenry yesterday. For my non-US friends, Francis Scott Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner, our national anthem while the Brits were busy bombing Baltimore in 1814. The flag, the city and the song survived.
As for the week in review, my weight has remained fairly constant over the past three weeks, really, varying less than a pound on average. Currently, I'm at 229.7, down 0.4 from last week, a total loss of 184.3.
Exercise wise, I did log 10.3 miles running, one spin class and one Body Pump class.
Last Tuesday, my brother and I took dad to Busch Gardens Williamsburg for a birthday present. We picked the day expecting light crowds with kids still in school and we weren't disappointed. We arrived just as the park opened and headed to their newest coaster -- Griffon. Check out this ride here.

What a great day!

Looks like a great day. I love roller coasters too, but I probably would have worn dark pants before riding Griffin.
OMG you guys look like you had such fun. I know I am getting old but I swear you about the same size as Neil Now.
As for your foot pain sorry to hear that- orthotics make a big difference.
Take it easy today.
Fort McHenry looks beautiful. That would be awesome to run around - but on a cool, breezy day! :-)
And you three are some very brave, fun loving guys! That's nuts! What a great way to celebrate your dad's birthday.
It was a truly great day! It's what "they" had in mind when talking about male bonding. Many, many thanks to FFRG and jo brotha for one to remember.
You know I think I would have to pass on that coaster!! WHOA that looks crazy!!!
Thanks for the link! It looks great.
Dude, who's that skinny guy on the right?
Sounds like fun!! And great photos!!!
You are a braver soul than I am. Roller coasters scare me to death! I am glad you had a screaming good time and it looks like you are loosing more weight!
Way to go!!!
Roller coaster pictures are always the best. I always look like I ate something bitter though.
OMG - that looks like a blast and it cracks me up the contrast in pictures. Another funny thing I noticed - you and your brother have fists clinched - dad is hanging on for dear life but you all have similar looks on your faces - great times!
