Well, okay... I admit it - I'm a closet bicyclist.  Pretty much daily,
I do what I call my Ocean Shores Triathalon:  paddling, bicycling,
walking/sitting/flying kite on beach (does that third part count as an
athletic activity? - it does have three parts to it after all!).

I do find the paddling and bicycling complimentary, but unfortunately,
crunches are still a part of my daily routine as well.  I do try to do
things that don't seem like *exercise* to me (paddling and bicycling
are just too fun to consider them a *workout* - crunches, on the other
hand...).  I'm open to suggestions for an activity to replace crunches
- any ideas?  I would love to learn more Yoga, but in the little town
where I'm living at the moment, most people don't know the difference
between Yoga and tahini.

I do love skiing as well, but need to move to a place where there's a
bit more snow in winter (still dreaming of Alaska).  Well, that's
enough computer exercise for now.  Time to ride to the grocery store...
