Good to see you were able to get some lower body work in.

I hope the sickness passes. I know how you feel about Dr.s. I'm the same way. Maybe you just need a little rest.

No joke, Fred. Granted, here in central OK, it wasn't as bad as those source regions of NM and west TX. I think the airport got down to about 4 miles...

I sure hope the pain let's up soon.

I hope you feel better and fet some relief taking a break from training

I sure hope so. I try to fit one in whenever I can. Younger than you, older than Deb. During my working days, a quick 10-minute nap was perfect...

Thanks Cole! No frustration, other than I wanted to get through this coming week's Intensity Singles before the break. No PRs, but one step closer...
