Yo Burr are you still putting on the miles or is it the rainy season

[Burr]

Yo Wild, been in bed with the Flu for over a week. Just getting out and going again.

Rainy season starts soon I hope.

How you doing with your rides and weight?

[wild]

I am still riding 35miles the outher day and 24 yesterday and I have some small weights 5# that I have bin working the sholders out with. well I got on the scale it said ouch 242# down from 249# the first of march.

[Burr]

Mr. Wild Man,
You're doing great, making me feel bad. I've had the flu/cold for over a week and my nose is still running. I have worked out two days this week and I am going to get after it Monday cold or no cold.
Easter is a big deal here so my wife won't let me ride or go out even if I'm not Catholic. So tomorrows ride is off but I feel like I'll be ready for next week.
I'll weigh tomorrow, take my BP and sugar and see how I'm doing and I'll let you know.

I'm sure glad you are hanging in there and doing so well, that's just great. Send you a note tomorrow.

Cardio Day,

Great 20-mile ride.

20 miles, 1:45 minutes, avg sped 11.46

Just coming back after three weeks being sickly with the flu.
BP went way up Sunday to 176/80 so worked hard to keep my HR around 125 today until I get in better shape again. Last ride I had to work to get my heart rate up to 130.

BP after ride (right now 146/75/81 temp is 93.6 @ 10:30am.

I’ll do better Thursday.

Went to the Dermatologist yesterday!

After a life in the sun it’s time for the long sleeve white shirts.

I got lots of nice red spots so I accept it’s time.

Wife can go get me a dozen of cheap white shirts Friday when she goes to town.

People ask me why I attend church, it’s because I do my own mechanic work and I need to be forgiven for the things I say.

My Saturday brake adjustment turned into a rear brake job. No problem getting the shoes off and getting new liners Saturday.
I try not to do anything Sunday but church and time with my wonderful wife so first thing on Blue Monday before it got to hot I got started putting the shoes back on, should be 30 minutes, yea sure.

After cussing the shoes on one side (about an hour of trying this way and that, forgot how they looked when I took them off “Jap Crap”) I went to the other side to discover that someone had moved the pickup over to about 18 inches of the wall (I know I wasn’t that stupid) so I squeezed my big weight lifting chest in between the pickup and the wall, I tried laying down and working that way, I moved pass the wheel well and nothing was easy even if I knew how this side went but after a lot of well chosen words about the pickup, the brake parts, the heat (about 94 by now) and a few words about why me lord I got the SOB together and it works, I hope!
After a nice bath (hot water and lots of soap) a nice lunch (boiled shrimp & crab with my great red sauce) and a world-class nap I woke up so sore I had to work to get out of bed..
So much for being in great shape, big lifter and all that crap I had to hit the Ibuprofen big time and will keep the bottle close tonight.

Tomorrow is Cardio day, painting the library with a 14-foot ceiling. Then I can stain and varnish the bookcases. My wonderful wife always makes sure I have something to look forward too.

Not putting in the miles that I want to, but here are the miles since 4-1-, 24, 13, 10, 15, 14, 10, 25, 17, 0ff, 25, 20. down to 240# and doing the small 5# weights every outher day for my sholder. Dr said I don't nead the weights but it seams like a waste to do them with nothing.

[Burr]

That's great Wild Man,
Just keep hanging in there and the weight will come off, you'll feel great and you'll look great.

As Frank Says,

JUST KEEP PUMPING
