Good Afternoon Goadies!

Derrick I'm sorry you have to work so much. Hopefully it will slow down soon....

I was able to come back sooner than I thought! #2 The trigger for these seasons is that I have teaching responsibilities during the summer and fall semesters so my workload dramatically expands. Last summer I let stress get the better of me. Same with fall. That 5th season mentioned above, "the holidays", HAD always been a…

Congrats Chris and Al!!! Steve and Derrick, I know you've both got this. No worries.....

I'll go ahead and answer question #1 now. Then I'll come back later and answer question #2... My most difficult season WAS that 5th season, the holidays... My 2nd most difficult season IS Summer... Hopefully, inquiring minds want to know! lol See you all later this evening.....

(Rachel0778 - if you have to hop on the dreadmill every day it likely won't last.) Rachel, IMHO that is a very appropriate name for that particular exercise machine. I've had 3 different "dreadmills" of varying qualities and didn't like any of them. Again, I love your term... lol

Both of my HRMs count about 65% of what MFP says I'm burning. Had to correct my numbers. Sorry about that. My brain was in a fog. lol

If I'm to do an activity day in and day out, I have to enjoy it. I tried walking out on the tracks and the trails, and ended up burning myself out. Then I tried several types of exercise machines and never liked them. After those I tried a couple different treadmills. I HATED them! I have finally discovered bike riding.…

The time leading up to losing my wife last fall, and for 2 to 3 months after that, and then almost losing my twin brother several times in and out of hospital over the 3 month period from the last week of January 2017 to the last week April…
