I thought about getting back into it also. But the time commitment is just too much. I may set my goal as cap pursuit in under 90 min.

I generally don't make New Year's resolutions because they provide a good excuse to put off starting something until the first of the year. I tend to try to act on my ideas right away. With that said, I have decided to start my working out again after a bit of a lapse.

Are you going to eat your bar food?

That's a good one, just as long as you live somewhere with some other good dining options. Train restaurants suck, and fast food really does of course (except Chik Fil-A and Chipotle).

I live walking distance from 6 excellent restraunts (Flying Mango, Christophers, Michaels, AK's, Chef's Kitchen, B&B) and not too far from two really good local fast food places (Tasty Taco's and George the Chili King) so I think I will be ok. The tough one to avoid will be Old Chicago...

MMMM.... Tasty Tacos. So good. Back when I lived in Iowa and was in school I had an internship at the Wallace Building in Des Moines (down by the capital). I ate there at least once or twice a week. I think Tasty Taco is solely responsible for clogging a few arteries in my body. That place is awesome!

Ah the greater Beaverdale Area! Dont forget Michaels & Goodsons, they are both pretty good. Old Chicago would be impossible for me.
