Sorry guys... my body has kinda gone tratorous of late. I've come down with sciatica which has sort of put my life on hold at the moment. I think the last time I heard of it was in the 1950s from my grandmother. Nasty stuff. I have some physical therapy scheduled and I hope to be able to get back on track.

Tom,I hope you recover quickly. After noticing my own condition generally deteriorating over the past 2 years, I undertook a new 'regime' recently (i.e. starting going to the gym). This has made me realise I was somewhat closer to 'the door' than I thought I was - my resting HR was great but 5 minutes at it and I was a mess :-( The thought of failing my pilot's medical later this year also scared me.Sometimes I think we all take good health for granted - until something comes along to remind us how fragile we really are ;)Maybe the recent stresses in your life have taken some toll? In any case, I hope the therapy works well for you :-wave
