Can't complain.......nobody listens anyhow.

Just really busy with work and home. It seems like every time I check something off the list, three more appear. Between work and jockeying the kids back and forth to football and school, there's not enough time in the day. And worst of all, it's been getting pretty cold here....I hate winter and hate to see it coming again!

It does sound like you are rather busy. I am looking forward to the cooler weather. That heat is rough when you have to work out in it.. Working part time for me, makes me have to be in a rush to get everything done before I leave at night.

Yeah I've been working out in the heat every day all summer too. It just seems as I'm getting older, I dread the cold weather coming more and more. Hopefully it won't be as bad this winter as it has in the past.

lol i work out the most in the winter, reminds me of running the ridgelines and firebreaks at pendleton during the winter - as hard as that was it was also relaxing - on the other hand i can't handle the heat worth a dang

I spent some time in the far east and the heat and humidity is bad as well. I work part time as a loader at Lowe's in the nursery area. One good thing is that I work evenings.

I finally got used to it. It was so humid that we had light bulbs in our standup lockers to keep our clothes dry.
