kb1qzh Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Hey all!I've been following the blog\articles for a little bit and figured it eas a good time to join in.What brought me to this point? my user name is my amateur radio call sign. Few years ago, i was loading the car for a radio contest. I didn't like how winded i got loading a 100lb UPS battery in and out. So that put the goal in mind but i didn't have a plan (hell i don't think i have now!).Last year a friend suggested that i should try Muay Thai\kickboxing. A MMA gym opened minutes from from home (there goes the distance argument). Been there for a little over a year. No real plan. i'm there about three times a week and it's still fun.had a physical this year. it came back with some expected things and some unexpected (high blood pressure, cholesterol, sugar, low vitamin d, and at some point i had lyme disease which was untreated, what the fudge!?!) though i've been keeping active for about a year, i've trouble breathing, especially when active. i brought this up to my doc and she put me on a nasal spray and an inhaler to take before any activity. To be honest, i'm not sure if it's helping. i think i'm worse now than the beginning of the year.So now what?not really sure. i know what i need and want to work on (eating better, breathing better, not tripping on jump rope, doing more than one pull-up, firing off more than one set of kicks) but not sure how to put the ground work into do itthanks for reading73frank kb1qzh Link to comment

Hammlin Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Awesome! I always wanted to be a ham radio person. I drove around with a CB in my car for months, but never worked up the courage to talk with anyone on it.Anyhow welcome to the rebellion! glad you're here!
