I need to find a new signature, mine is nearly 1 year old and no one has ever commented on it:(

I think Family Circus is so funny:D
 
Should have been over with that free throw, but it was good.

True, and to have it end on a turn over like that was kind of shifty, but man. Both teams can hold their heads high after that.
 
Ok someone needs to push the cold back up to Canada! :eek:

Or I need to move to Oz for a while

Yeah, its 29F here now and very sunny as I'm preparing to head out to the park for a long walk. Given the parks part of a wetlands area and adjacent to the river its chilly. But the plus side is the cold limits perspiration and overheating and its easier to breath properly while under exertion.
I had a doctors appointment yesterday and they were amazed by the difference a 6 to 8 mile per day walk does. A couple of the serious runners didn't believe me until they'd quizzed me a bit. I suspect some of them were annoyed to find out how effective walking is when compared to fitness jogging or running.

Running is an orthopedic nightmare, if you wish fitness as a goal a brisk, variable grade walk is just as good and much better on the wheels.
Good for you!!

Thanks, once I read up on Interval walking and how varying things up a bit improves the process I was sold on it. I've gotten some odd looks while walking up steep hills or walking backwards for a few legs of a walk but I'm stronger for doing it. I knew health care professionals can get a bit rigid in how they understand the entire fitness thing but what should have been a brief office visit turned into a "how to do fitness walking" discussion. I did get one good recommendation I hadn't considered, I'll buy some compression socks to try out while walking.
