While I do enjoying training (prolly too much), what keeps me motivated is the line that is just out of reach. The one that is so beautiful you lose sleep over it.

Just found me a new one.

Wheatley, Sugar Magnolia. Your style. Save a few days to help me out on it. There is good karma in it for you. You need some after all those sand bags.
