Today was a strange day in the continued saga of my life. I was going to have lunch with my friend Ryan at Captain D's around the lunching hour. As I was standing in line my phone rang and displayed an unknown number. I almost didn't answer it but better judgement prevailed. The familiar voice on the other end said, "Hi, this is Jared Fogle from Subway." I thought great, another pre-recorded message from Subway, which I had been receiving until I cancelled them a few days ago. Then Jared said, "So, Tim.... where is Sparta, TN anyway?" I was really talking to Jerrod, the dude who ate Subway and walked 14 miles a day and lost a whole person of weight. We talked for several minutes. I put him on speaker phone at one HI point to make sure Ryan heard his voice to confirm this wacky story. We talked about food and staying with a food plan. We also talked about Tennessee and the weather, what a cliche. Erin Anyway, it was a strange little event in my life. If anyone needs to talk to ole Jared I now have his phone number... let me know.

Just for the record i can verify this story. It really did happen. It was a pretty amazing day. It could only have been better if we were actually at subway when he called ha ha.
Man, that is sweet. Never would have believed it if it wasn't you telling it.
I think the real question is whether or not you hid from him that you were at Captain D's. I bet he could tell... The Jared is not please, I'm sure.
Seriously, though, I enjoyed the post and will be reading others.
