Thanks!!!
Things that aren't fun are really not worth doing, even though sometimes we have to.
So we might as well have fun with this challenge.2 -
Our team made it, but I've been slacking off big time - it's freaking hot here in AZ and I started Keto for the last month. That combo is killing me, but perhaps I'll have some motivation again soon!
keep up the great work everyone! 3 -

You all see the promo email for RTY 2020? Ohhh I’m excited! Are we having fun with he teams? Think maybe we can do it again? Does everyone like the team goal? Does it help with motivation? I just want that swag!
I’m taking care of the post op hip (again), in the CPM and will try the bike trainer today. Doc suggest a spring race, 5k. So... if my hip cooperates, I’ll be able to actually get back to some activities.
@Tramboman I really like your history lessons. Keep ‘em comin’.3 -
@Elise4270 - I did and love the shirt! Especially because I think 2020 I just a cool year numerically. Yes I am weird and a nerd...
What is CPM?
So excited that you will be able to get back to activities, especially running, soon!1 -

When I was in HS my stepdad bought me a 1956 Ford Falcon for $50! I sold it a few years later to a collector for $800. We were moving to No CA and there was no way it would make it that far 😊1 -

I had a 1964 Plymouth Valient. Bought it for 100$ when I was 16, thought I'd fix it up... It just didn't happen. I never got to drive it. I didn't get my license til I was 18.6 and don't know why I had this idea that somehow I'd know how to fix it. I dated too many mechanics I guess. So first real car was a 1988 Pontiac LeMans. I miss the ol' Valient.1 -
Ah, the good old days!!!!!!3

I'm told that about this time period my mother had gone into the cellar to shovel coal into the furnace. I wedged myself in my walker between the wall and the cellar door, and my mom had to climb up the coal chute to get out of the cellar.2
