Day 07 – The reason behind your blog’s name

In October 2006, I arrived in Hawaii after leaving Texas.  While in Texas, our team ran for PT most days.  This was on the average 4-6 miles, 3-4 times a week.  I was a sleek, sexy, 204 lbs (in my own mind).

In Hawaii, I think it was my 3^rd day of work, we had mandatory PT with the commander, because a fellow flight member failed to show for her mandatory PT.  Don’t you  love the punish everyone when one person screws up?  I f’ing hate it.

Back to the nickname lol.  After stretching, our commander, Lt Col Flutterkicks, ran us around the ¼ mile track.  After 2 miles, most of the kids began to bitch about it.  Me?  I kept running and encouraging them to “KEEP RUNNING”.  Somewhere after 3-4 miles, we stopped, cooled down, and someone said my legs were sizzling out there.  This was of course, about 2 months before a few idiots on my flight told me to try WoW.

After trying it, and naming my first toon Sizzlelegs, I figured why not call it, “Sizzle’s Legs”?  While I can’t run like I used to (back/hip problems), I can still do 3-4 miles at a slog pace (also called the Freight Train of Death pace).

There ya have it, the story of Sizz.  More tomorrow, as you hear 10 things you don’t know about me.
