Happy 4th of July!

Nathan's Hot Dog Eating ContestIt’s 4th of July, which means, fireworks and food!  Today I’m taking a break and enjoying some traditional 4th of July food, and so should you!  It’s okay to take a break sometimes, but just remember to pick up where you left off!  I know I will… starting with a run, or maybe a bike ride tomorrow morning!

Right now, I’m watching the Nathan’s Hot Dog contest, and it still amazes me that people can eat that many hot dogs!  Competitive eating has been a sport for a long time, and although it’s not so much of a healthy sport, people find it entertaining to watch, like me! :)

The competition was pretty much between Joey Chestnut and Takeru “Tsunami” Kobayashi, with a tie of 59 hotdogs! They did a 5 hot dog eat off, and Joey Chestnut won!

Anyway, be safe and have a fun July 4th everyone!

Those hot dog eating contests are crazy. It has been good seeing someone challenge Kobayashi lately though – Chestnut is the man!

I could not do it. I can barely get 2 down. You have to hand it to them especially since neither are that big. They can sure eat them though. Gives me indigestion just thinking about it.
