Music interfers with my focus, one side of the body needs slightly more prompting than the other. Music would "hop" me up but it would mess me up it it's acoustic contents and delivery interfered with my body or my ego. My body by the interference with focus & physiology. Also in delayed fashion when it over activates ego, cause I am not seventeen anymore & used to too much was difficult to achive, now too much hits my physical waek spots all too easy & very quick. I will be 50 in October, I don't react with the rebound of seventeen. It's more like a small plane trying to tow a jumbo jet. Possible but difficult and soon the small plane throws a rod. Exercise for the sake of exercise - 6 days ok, Sabbath - nope I'am doing R&R from pumping tday. A walk to enjoy the outdoors maybe, helping others - fine if possible (but on my terms as much as possible). Sleep for me is usually 12 hrs off from most folks, but I strech it on Sabbath. Lots of Church duties so I am not free to sleep when I would, but later @ home. Plus writting & printing out & teaching an alternate Sabbath School Program. I probably do not get enough non weights exercise during secular hours and probably not enough weight training during those secular hours either. However here in unusually chilly Ohio gardening season is progressing. ------------------ Edward F Sutton

My idea of a good sabbath afternoon activity (after 'lay' activities ) is to ride my bike along the bike path near Lake Huron. Watch the ducks/geese and maybe feed the sea-gulls. Now that the last cold weekend is finally here, maybe I can start riding my bike without Arthur getting mad at me. ------------------ Examine me, O LORD, and prove me: try my reins and my heart.

Who's Arthur?? I enjoy my Sabbath's off from exercise. In fact, my favourite Sabbaths are those spent entirely with friends. It's nice to have a day when you don't have to worry about what has to be done next in my life. On the other hand, that doesn't exclude exercise-like activities on the Sabbath either. I remember that when I was in college we used to go out and play touch football, long walks/hikes - in high school we'd go to the mountains, bicycle rides, things like that, but it was and is more than exercise. It was/is enjoying time with friends and nature, learning about God from His great outdoors. It was good, and generally things that we did not have time for during the regular week. Perhaps, if you walk for exercise, you could try a different activity on Sabbath if you still wanted to get outside and do something - ride a bike, rollerblade, go on a picnic, go canoeing, go to the beach, play a game with friends - but change your routine so that the Sabbath is different and special from the rest of the week. ------------------ Sarah Moss *Prayer Changes Things!*

Just a quick update for those who might possibly be interested in my preparation for the 330 mile AIDSRide next month. My fundraising has gone quite well and I am working on increasing my mileage so that I can complete successive long days (100 miles+/- per day) on the bike as will be necessary for the ride. I am riding 60-70 mile days without difficulty. Having done 60+ miles today I am now going to take advantage of the holiday weekend (Memorial Day for you Canadians ) and do the same at least tomorrow. This is at a fairly moderate pace with a short rest or two along the way. This week I expect to have 150-200 miles. I will vary the daily mileage and pace on the rest of the week. The bottom line is that you've got to love that bike! Tom

Speaking of "finding time", I suppose I should read the previous 4 pages, but quite frankly "I don't have the time"!!. A good way to get onee's exercise without spending alot of $$ is "get a dog". Max (my dog) needs a walk every morning..well his walk has helped my health...Now altho I'm over the hill (at 56), I'm not "under the hill"! One could rationalize that dog food is expensive. Well ,I live on 22 acres of land, have a garden, and a "walk thru Park" (still clearing land for that project). The point is, MAX is "worth his weight in gold" for keeping deer and rabbits out of the garden, Plus he's a faithful friend. Not many animals have a vehicle named after them -"MAXEY Van"! ------------------ Remember!! When you don't feel like praying, WHY don't you talk to God about it? Laurie

Sarah, You missed Gerry's pun entirely. You are too young barring injuries to develop it this soon. Aurthur(itis) one of the brothers that are more diversified that just a pain in the butt. Aurthur, Osteo, Rumatoid, and last but not least Bursa. {Sorta sounds like the brothers of Larry, Daryl & Daryl fame. ( No Aurthur, Osteo, Rumatoid, and Bursa are not from Vermont , sympathy for Tom after the end of the longgggg ride.) May none of the four afore mentioned brothers visit him. ------------------ Edward F Sutton

Silly me! I had a good laugh, after I understood it! I hope he goes on a LONG vacation for the summer and likes it so much that he never comes back! Did the stairs again today. Someone tell me, when does it get easier???????? I feel as if my lungs are about to burst only a few flights up (around 5 or so) and it is not getting better, but almost worse! Is this normal? ------------------ Sarah Moss *Prayer Changes Things!*

If you get really good at the stairs, you may be transfered to the messenger department and get to run up and down the stairs all day long delivering messages from one floor to the others. Then you could get paid for your exercise program. I tried jogging several years ago, and it never got easier.

Of course, I wouldn't want to be transferred to the mailroom - would make me feel as if it were a demotion, not a promotion. I'm thinking too that it might be because there is stale air in the staircase and that is affecting me. Didn't have that problem while out bike riding, etc. Oh well. It's nice to be outside, and I'm not going to give up on the exercising - yet! I used to like jogging.... too bad it is not good for me to do anymore. ------------------ Sarah Moss *Prayer Changes Things!*

If stale air is the problem, do what Rocky, alias, Sylvester Stallon, did. Move to Philadelphia, and run up and down the stairs to the public library. Who knows, you may even become world boxing champion! Ed, that reminds me, your next goal. Go to the meat locker plant and start throwing the carcasses around. Much more challenging than just lifting "dead metal weight". Then you could start hitting the frozen beef to toughen up your hands and strengthen your hitting muscles. And you could keep your pizza frozen in there too, until it was time to eat it. How is the pumpkin lifting coming along!
