You really put some effort into this one, great work!

Thanks Terry! And you were so right when you mentioned one of the "drawbacks" of losing was you have to work harder to burn the same calories....That distance/effort would have been over 2000 cal's for me last year, and I couldn't have sustained that HR avg then.

But, we're much healthier today. Thanks for the motivation this morning.
