Except for hiking when dauphin and I are able, cycling is all the cardio I do. I am a faithful practitioner of Pilates, though. Not a big fan of what is called "mat" Pilates (somewhat similar to...

You and your family are in my prayers. All we can do is love one another as much as we can while we're here. Sometimes being inside is too confining when emotions are so big. At least that's how...
