Burn it like Beckham
There is a new study out today, or recently, maybe I am just hearing about it today. It says Soccer Is Better Than Jogging.
Researchers claim, that people who play soccer, burn more body fat, increase muscle mass and enjoy their workout more.
I really don't care about the study. But by pretending to, it allowed me to do my own research of soccer players for this post. I have spent hours, searching and drooling over the right picture.
Guess who plays soccer? David Beckham ... really I had no idea.
Obviously the study is accurate. Look how happy he is, and his friend behind him.
I feel happier just thinking about soccer. If I stop thinking about soccer and think about the 3 miles I have to run today, I start to cry. When I'm upset I eat chocolate. That's not better than happy and not eating!

just looking at those pictures has given me a sense of happiness, and oh! what's that? I think I feel the fat just melting off my rotundness.

And here I thought that you were just joking in your comments on this post: (http://half-fast.blogspot.com/2007/08/soccer-running.html)
Sorry about the shameless, self-promoting link to my blog in the comments, but I didn't figure you'd mind if it was more pictures of Beckham.

Any excuse for a picture of him is fine with me! I feel happier too!
Don't cry, you can do it!

Gratuitous Beckham pictures are fine with me! I think I read somewhere that in a typical game they run about three miles.
