Kris and Chris Take On Exercise

So Chris has recently been bugging me to get on some healthy living kick. Ugh. He's been wanting to go for walks (and according to him at some point I'll be expected to actually go running...right, I'll believe that one when it happens).

The other day I actually got home early enough and with enough motivation to actually be willing to lace up my shoelaces and go. We started walking and as we turned out the driveway I mentioned how we should've brought umbrellas since it looked like it was going to rain. Well, about a block later it started to rain. Chris told me to chase the blue sky and I just followed, grumbling all the while. We hadn't even gone a block and a half from out house when it started POURING.

I think God is on my side and even He doesn't want me to exercise ;P

TWO WET WALKERS

Chris has recently been excited about something called Parkour. He was even excited enough to CALL ME on my cell phone to tell me about it. (a) He never calls me and b) He's really trying this exercise thing. He misses wrestling.) I don't really understand it, but Wikipedia has this to say:

"Parkour (sometimes abbreviated to PK) is a utilitarian discipline based upon the direct, successful, swift traversing of one's surrounding environment via the practical application of techniques, based around the concept of self-preservation. It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, using only their bodies. Skills such as jumping, climbing, vaulting, rolling, swinging and wall scaling are employed. Parkour can be practiced anywhere, but areas dense with obstacles are preferable and it is most commonly practiced in urban areas."

So...when I heard he wanted to jump off things and scale walls, I was completely not supportive. Anyone who know him knows that if anyone is going to find a way to fall/get hurt/have a freak accident happen to them...it's Chris. He kept telling me he hoped by doing Parkour it would train his body to be less accident prone. (Do I even need to comment on how skeptical I was when I heard that???) But then I realized I was being a jerk and decided to just let him pursue it. And by this I mean - I am not mentioning it at ALL to him and knowing him, he'll forget all about it...sometimes his forgetfulness is REALLY USEFUL ;P
