Meanwhile...

Can you tell Steven Colbert’s show has become a don’t miss for us! Last I wrote it was January and I had just started getting back to training! BTW I did the right thing because my foot has not gone back to pain or a twinge or anything! That has been wonderful!

Then, all hell broke loose in the world and there is an incurable virus running rampant through the world! Experts say it was a cross-species virus from bats to us who-mans! (I’m Batman!) It is a novel coronavirus that the world has never seen, but we have seen others like it. Everything shut-down for quite a while, then reopened, and now we’re in the process of shutting back down again because people are stupid and so is our leadership. But here in the US solo exercise bouts were not against the rules. Other countries were able to manage the PANDEMIC much better than we have so far. They shut everything down including outside workouts.

School closed, actually it never reopened after Spring Break, everything has been postponed! It is crazy to write what I’m writing! Life will forever be changed! Due to the Corona Virus Disease of 2019 or COVID-19 for short 120,000 Americans have died, another 380K have died around the world! It’s-a freaking disaster!


Lots of stress eating all around till we realized, “oh, heck!” (more like WTF)! I’ve gained massive amounts! No problem silver lining to COVID-19 we can exercise a lot. On call, was a blessing! Not to minimize anything millions of lives have been shattered, families destroyed, health care workers and others on the front lines will have issues for the foreseeable future! I have not cried so much in my life! My new tell when I’m tired, I weep at seemingly insignificant things! Our lives are not the same.

 So middle of April we’re getting the hang of things and putting in the miles, changing our eating habits, and expecting great results! Alas, it wasn’t to be, nearly 400 miles last month and nearly 300 miles the month before that and I lost a whopping two, duas, deux, due, zwei count ‘em 1, 2! Heck that could be water weight or a huge BM! Something is wrong!
