GEORGIA WINS LITTLE LEAGUE WORLD SERIES AGAIN

For the second straight year a team from Georgia won the Little League World Series. This year it was a team from Warner Robins, Ga that defeated Japan 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning. I have posted a couple of photos from the game, last year Columbus, Ga captured the title. They sure are playing some good baseball in Georgia. They are coming by today to put a another coat of shine on the hard wood floors, they are going to do it early so the fumes will have dissipated a bit by the time I get home, but I got a feeling they are still going to be pretty strong. We got another pretty good t-storm here in CH last night & some more much needed rain, there was some pretty sharp lightning as well. Last week on the blog there were 311 visitors from 3 different countries. Maybe I will post another video later today of the progress that was made today here at the house. My AIP is little higher also today because my right leg is a bit tight. MICKEY

Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.

Battling exercise "burnout."
To keep your enthusiasm up, it may pay to put a few exercises down for a while. Changing your exercise program every couple of months may help beat boredom. Besides, after a while, your body adapts to the exercise stressors your current program had introduced, and craves new challenges. YOU HAVE TO BE EXERCISING TO GET BURNOUT
