    Oh, My Friends, I've had to turn in despair to my dreadmill as the days are too crowded with kids and carpools and the nights come on too early. You are all an inspiration to me. Keep up the good work!

    I'm sorry, everyone, that I haven't been updating. It has been crazy around here; our internet was out for 3 days last week and I can't do any 'community' activity on here from my phone. Then last weekend was super crazy busy with Christmas shopping and projects and a Christmas party. Then Monday I woke up with a stomach bug, my husband came home from work with it that day and my 2 1/2 year old acquired it last night in the night. It has been a long exhausting 7 days. Last week I got in 376 minutes on my bike. This week I have only managed 60 minutes so far due to the illness that is running-amuck here. :(

    "For instance, the bicycle is the most efficient machine ever created: Converting calories into gas, a bicycle gets the equivalent of three thousand miles per gallon."
    ~ Bill Strickland

    Mmm this got me wondering how many food calories equal 1-gallon of gasoline.
    Googling took me to http://home.dejazzd.com/kgard/bcn/calories_in_gallon.html
    where I learned that:
    the energy in 1-gallon of gasoline is 31,500 food calories.

    It is posted on the internet so it must be true! :wink:
