    Based on what happened to our program after 6 of us retired, sickens me to see people still taking credit based on what we built. Best part is the guy in charge is one of us and he is disgusted as us. He texts us saying please come back. All of us that retired threw away all of our gear, just waiting for lung cancer. 2 out of 6 of us so far.

    can't 'like' that for obvious reasons, but I can respect it.

    not to bring geo-politics into this thread, but the fact that all it's gonna take is a fart in the wrong direction to bring about Red Dawn IRL; anyone else thinking guys and gals like those of us on this forum need to get our nearing-to-middle aged butts in shape?

    I've got other plans but will never put them in print, especially on the internet. But my plans will require a good deal of physical effort which will be my exercise.

    Scarcity of resources.
    Elites gobbling up those scarce resources. Economic collapse. Apathy of the common man. This has been played out before in the Roman Empire.....

    what prompted that post was I was watching clips from Ukraine, watching video of civilian militia neighborhood defense squads jogging down several city blocks lugging ammo crates, and I just thought...damn, don't think I could jog that far lugging an ammo crate. Kind of made me embarrassed.

    Well something is going on..I really not sure what. I know this time of year ALWAYS hits me with "weather blues ".
    This put my usual insomnia on steriods the last month. Now normally I can work through this time I mean we are talking since I was in grade school thing. Occasional nice days help me through it. Not this year, I've been physically and menally exhausted,having cold sweats, joint issues and yesterday after a yearly " woman scan" I had to go pick up abunch of stuff. Came home and crashed. When hubby got home I made him pizza with a salad and gave orders " UNLESS HOUSE IS BURNING DO NOT WAKE ME FOR ANYTHING! " Take the caps as how I said that...I took my temp before going up. I was feeling hot and sweaty.. 97.4 normal for me.
    13 hrs of tossing and turning apparently, because I woke up tied up in both top and bottom sheet... Still tired. Where is spring? Had freezing rain,sleet and now heavy snow.
    Oh well at least the scans were clean....

    So I can go on the rowing machine and guess what I am not in pain the next day, not even a little. Game changer.

    On call all weekend but I managed to get a session today. Good/bad girl, glutes, hamstring curls, wrist curls, tri extensions, cable curls, close grip pull downs, push ups, pull ups, rear delts, hypers, knee raises, sit ups, bw squats. Need to run tomorrow distance will depend on how much I have to work.
