Body Executive #1: Uh oh, Ben has gained like 30 pounds.

Body Executive #2: …again. 

Body Executive #1: Should we, like, distribute it across his whole body?

Body Executive #2: No, lol, lets put all 30 of it on his love handles so he’ll look like a freak.

Body Executive #1: lol, yeah. 

3.1 miles in morning.

2 miles in afternoon. 

Our wonderful hosts Heather and Brad are making a healthy dinner for us and it smells delicious.

Another good day.

Last time I was in Louisville was for a moment I’ll never forget.

Ironman Louisville, 2010. 

Pictured: me getting my medal, Jed dry heaving.

Lousiville. 

Followed by

• Columbus, OH
• Pittsburgh, PA
• Philadelphia, PA
• Washington, DC
• Charlotte, NC

Then, two weeks later, the West Coast Leg:

Here’s (roughly) how it’s gone.

Day One: 281
Day Two: 279
Day Three: 278
Day Four: 275
Day Six: 273
Day Seven: 274
Day Eight: 275 

So, we’re up a couple. If I’d been slacking on my diet and workouts, I’d feel a little bad, but everything is still rocking.

The only way to look at weigh-ins is on a weekly basis, so get back to me at Day 14. Also, weighing in with a hardwood scale on a hardwood floor makes for some trippy pictures. WHEREDOESTHESCALEENDANDTHEFLOORBEGIN?

My first time in Indy. And it was a perfect day.

26 lovely folks and one excited dog.
