MAPdad REFLECTIONS PART 13: And So This is Christmas…………

I loaned my canoe and kayak to Chris a few years ago so he could go camping with his MAP buddies.

MAPdad REFLECTIONS PART 10: Paying Off the Debt

So, it’s the morning after your first UBfit session and you find that life after exercise is less comfortable than before. In fact, when you first wake up you think that death might be an attractive alternative. But why? You busted your butt, kept up with the game, swung and sweated like Joe Frazier in Manilla – how come you don’t feel like a world class...
