Great quotes, a sorry comment on mankind, but there seem to be plenty in the gene pool who don't read or believe signs or choose to ignore them.

I am giving myself 30 minutes for power walking from one end of the mall to the other, several times, with DD who was looking for a specific dress for her 8th grade dance. When I say power walk, I'm not joking. We had to skirt around all the "slow pokes" because we had limited time! I've been doing Jillian's Shred Level 2 and it's tough, but I feel great when it's over. I need it, though. It's the only way I'll lose the 10 lbs. I've gained.

Walked 20 minutes. Another 20 minutes stretching and leg and arm exercises on the floor in front of Jeopardy.

Hi Kids, Running in your underwear? Pleeeze... Where do they come up with this stuff? If it's an activity that is 'enjoyed' by the locals I would have expected that there would have been some locals running along with them, also in their underwear. I guess when they say that it is enjoyed by the locals, it's as a spectator sport. I thought that one was silly at best. The rest of the show was OK. The challanges did not seem to be very hard but I'm sure it was very, very cold and uncomfortable. 'Snow plow' looked easy as did 'Brides', getting to the locations must have been the real challange. I'm glad they are on their way out of Russia. I know it was the editing but I am not left with a very good impression of it. I know that there is much beauty in that part of the world but, winter is not the best time to show it off. So off they go...on to India. The blonds are still in it...saved by a thong? sooey
