I love to run, kayak and bicycle. I love to run because I can run hard for three to six miles and then I had it over with for the day and can rest and reapt the benefits. I feel like I have truly accomplished something and feel both mentally and physically great afterwards. Besides I can brag about it then and people are amazed and say. "I can't do that!".

I bicycled fifty miles the other day in about three hours and twenty minutes of riding time. Organized group rides such as Trailnet.Org rides are the way to go so look for rides in your area and support their efforts. I can brag about this to people and listen to the people say. "I can't do that!"

Kayaking is great fun and fairly inexpensive. Its a great way to escape and enjoy the beauty of our local rivers. It is not that hard if you float downstream but for a challenge try paddling upstream for three or so hours and people will say. "Why would you want to do that?"

I love to work out on the treadmills and weight equipment at the YMCA. I feel wonderful after a forty-five minutes work out and I get to listen to people who say. "I should do that".

I love to go to my doctor once a year after doing all this stuff and hear "You are doing very well. Keep up the good work!"

Life is good!
