Peter, don't you dare suggest that; he might just do it and drop dead!

Dpeck100----keep killing it, my friend! Proud of ya.

Around here in northern Indiana, it's killer weather---triple digit heat index. I do most of my power-walking after midnight. Think Eric Clapton's classic!

We gotta train "uncomfortable" to feel comfortable the rest of the time.

Thank you!

I used to run in the crazy heat in Orlando 5.1 miles but just wasn't getting the results I wanted and my feet, ankles, and knees hurt all of the time. I did get heat stroke once and it was crazy seeing myself pee out brown urine in the shower. I don't think my body temperature got back to normal for close to two hours.

It wasn't long after that I switched to the stair master in the AC. No cardio delivers the results that it does. A 30 minute session on 85 steps a minute burns 407 calories and can get you ripped. I gave up on trying to be big and decided I wanted to look more like I did in my early 20's and it has been a great transition and I feel much better slimmed down.

The gym had a power outage a few weeks ago and I ran in the morning and was quickly reminded why I quit! Haha

Wow, that is amazing. Take it from someone who used to be a runner---if you miss a day, it's ok. As I tell someone now and then, I'm no longer training for the Illinois high school state cross country meet. Still, being 65 now, I gotta "keep at it", or else .....

I never did get the hang of the stair master, but I learned quickly that thing will put bushy hair on your chest; it's NOT for the faint of heart. Again, very proud of you, bro!

All the best, Brian Powell

Whenever I feel the need to exercise I lie down on the sofa until the feeling passes.

I well recall my professor at Ball State University quoting the disturbed character who wrote those words you quoted. There wasn't a class member in the large hall that didn't wince at hearing them.

So, Yoda, if ye wish to be an inflated tadpole, 'tis all your own choosin'. Some day, the feeling to which you refer will indeed pass, along with you.

'Tis also true, the bell will one day toll for me, but I prefer to feel young and vigorous again for as long as I can, and stay that way til I die. With Type 2 diabetes, I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING, TO DIE WITH MY FEET ON!

So who is this disturbed character that he quoted?

[Peter_Spaeth]

Isn't that a Mark Twain line?

Sean, I haven't the foggiest notion; regardless, when John quoted it, I instantly recalled the occasion when Dr. Edmonds closed the class with those hideous words.
