Lovely Thursday, the 4th of February -- Glad you liked the "Alien Sunrise" -- no, no, truly, it did look otherworldly. You looked at it and sort of shivered, it was so intense. I didn't post the photo of how it looked thirty seconds before -- the thick cloud over it was black, sort of roiling around, sort of like black blood, maybe nearly dripping, bloating up, only to fountain out in a few minutes -- okay, pull it back. Photos: You have 3 minutes max, if you want the most dramatic sunrise.
Lots of you wrote about working your quads and telling me why you couldn't. Okay, some of you had good excuses (like two broken legs) but some of your reasons didn't fly, so it's possible the discipline minion might be paying you a visit. The DM does, however, like chocolate chip cookies, and could probably be seduced if you made the offer. Those of you who have the winter flu, do stay in bed and eat chicken soup, have a box of Kleenex next to you, and a quart of hot tea with honey or ginger. That's all from Doctor Mom.
For those of you not felled by illness or other assorted crappy problems, do uumph yourselves. Even though you don't work out hard enough to get an endorphin rush, you will feel good. You will feel virtuous. You will feel superior, and that is nice. So go out there and cardio your brains out. Well, not exactly your brains, but get your heart rate up there, maybe even sweat a bit (although I really hate to sweat) --
