I waited ALL DAY at work for the one other athlete (yeah, look at what I call myself these days ) to come on shift so I could share that last night in spin class, my heart rate was dropping 60 points during the 3 minute recovery periods. I haven't used a HR monitor all road season and the improvement was thrilling me. The really sad part: I work at a health care facility!

Re: the golf cart case, maybe the mom has MS or something? But yes, I am amazed at the people I know who make envious comments about my body change and accomplishments but won't get their own bodies moving even in a small way.
