Had a great time working out with Blake and Ryan in the gym. We did a mixed back and shoulder workout. Good workout. It was really the first time Blake has been in a gym.

I am grateful to have them in my life.

I did at least 120 crunches. Ryan is showing signs of strength and re-shaping. It’s great to be around for him.

I have discovered that I am the world’s biggest baby when it comes to riding in the cool weather. Even here in Florida, where a cold snap brings it down to 45 degrees, the cool weather keeps me from riding. I don’t know whether its the thin clothing or the cold wind in my throat, but I don’t like it. Haven’t really ridden the bike now in eight weeks. Yikes!! All I want for Xmas is a heat wave and a long sunny afternoon to ride.

Since it’s too cold, I have been hitting the gym. I had a good chest workout with Ryan. Performed flat and incline bench. Standing cable flies and the press flies. Ryan is moving up in strength to be sure. Also flat bench dumbbell flies and then single arm dumbbell extensions. he stayed and did arms too. I have a Christmas party
