Two things:

1. I almost lost a foot to a vicious chihuahua while out on a run today. I ran about six miles and was almost back home when a tiny, possibly rabid dog ran at me and attached itself to my foot. Logically, I didn't do anything except shriek and shake my foot in attempt to dislodge its teeth from my shoe. I'm just glad it got my shoe instead of my ankle, as that little fucker was out for blood. The owner had to pry it loose, and was very apologetic--most likely because she thought I was going to sue her. I actually thought it was pretty funny until 20 minutes later when I realized that it could have ended very badly. I'm glad I am not missing any flesh.

2. I've been doing the 30 Day Shred for the past week (I took Saturday off, whoops) and in attempt to mix it up a little I've been alternating the levels. For instance I'll do level 3, then level 2, and then level 1 and start all over. This is probably not what I'm supposed to do but it keeps me amused. If I'm not adequately shredded in 30 days then we'll all know its because of my rebellious level-alternating ways. Anyway, the point of saying this is that today was a level 1 day and I noticed something. Natalie, the hardcore move demonstrating woman (I can't help but remember their names) is a big fat CHEATER. I believe it's during some lunges/bicep curls, when Jillian goes to show what Anita (the other one) is doing, as the camera zooms in you can see Natalie stop doing lunges and just do bicep curls. Of course, the rest of the time she's very hardcore and awesome and incredibly impressive. Still... CHEATER. It makes me feel much better about my own sometimes slackerish tendencies (don't get me wrong, I'm a lunging machine 99.9 percent of the time). Even the fitness model cheats sometimes! We should be best friends and not do lunges together, probably.
