Our friend Rich...

Our friend Rich always seems to find new ways to punish/humiliate himself - He worked in a steel mill for half a day before getting the hell out of there, wiped out in front of our house playing football - causing some knee ligament damage (Rich still claims that it was my fault)- here's a recent one involving physical fitness.

"On Saturday late afternoon, Tina decides to go for a run at the Shelton high school track with me and her sister. I had forgotten that she has been training for a 1/2 marathon and now can run 8 miles without sweating. So I run a mile with them, and then go to the football field to do some sprints. In Crossfit format, I do 30 yards, then do 20 pushups. Another 30 yards, then 20 situps. then sprint 40 yards. I do 2 sets of these with no rest, and collapse in the south end zone of sheer exhaustion.

Seeing Tina and her sister still running, I do a gut-check and mosey over to the corner of the stadium where I see some monster truck tires lying around. I decide to dead lift one and flip it over as many times as I can. It's impossible. From the other side of the field, Tina yells "What the hell are you doing?". I respond "They do this on the world's strongest man." She yells in retort "You are nowhere near the world's strongest man. You're an idiot!" I shirk away as others on the field share a laugh.

I woke up Sunday morning and could barely walk. no joke. I think I overdid it."

Andy's reply:
"When i read "monster truck tire" I thought that the next sentence was going to be "...surgery for my torn biceps / herniated disks"
