I was flailing around in the pool today at water aerobics. I don't teach anymore...I'm enjoying myself as a participant again. (This is a very good thing.) Anyway, I was tooling along when I realized I could go a little harder. And then I thought, "What if we were all wearing heart rate monitors and … Continue reading What would you do for $100?
