      So what do you need to hear? You get old by staying alive. Danger is real, fear is a choice. Molon Labe. Death before dishonor. It's better to go get help to get over what barrier you have than to stay stuck. Keep moving forward.

      Thanks-he gave meds for concussion symptoms (finally! Something!) and the gi stuff. Then check in next week re improvement, hopefully and how lung stuff is. My friend was to go back to US Sat nite but now may stay longer re all this. Mixed blessing for me but very hard on him-has big impt deadline back in midwest thats crucial workwise. Just praying all ok on all fronts! How r u??

    Old train tracks (now defunct) (Grand Defunct Railroad? ;-) )turned into a biking path on one side and a walk/run on the other. Quiet, beautifully landscaped, well lit oasis in the city.

      If what my coach tells me about consistency is true, you are in a great lifestyle, Best! Your few, but very consistent miles are way more worthwhile than huge miles inconsistently! I admire you!
