I had a similar benefit from running. I usually run in the dark before sunrise and people don't expect anyone to be passing by there house at that hour. I had one young lady who would stand naked in her window with the light on. I have a female friend who thinks she did this for my benefit but I don't care because she got me out the door running a lot of mornings when I didn't want to go!

Motivation comes in all forms ...this one must have been a great one to get you goin on those mornings when it is tempting to snuggle a bit longer ...a better temptation ??? Win/ win love it !

Andrea,

Yeah she got me going, but now she has a blind and keeps it closed - even during the day!

Hey Teach--

I've been considering taking up the bycicle for about a year now (as an alternative to running--not to replace it or anthing--just another form of exercise). Any recommendations on a bicycle for someone who hasn't ridden a bicycle in years? I don't know if I want to invest a great deal of money in one, but I don't want to get a piece of junk either.

Depends on how you're going to ride. I had a Puegot road bike for twenty years. I stopped riding for a while, and now that I'm riding less than 15 miles a day, I like the Schwinn 21 speed mountain bike for $199. The shifting is precise. The bike is heavy, but I am really enjoying it.

Thanks Teacher. I was thinking about buying a Wal-Mart bike just to see if I'd take to it--if not I'm not out too much money. I was leaning toward a mountain bike as well. Thanks again.

Please let me know how your Wal-Mart bike works for you. I also want to start riding a bike but don't want to spend too much money
