It's great to get something done and be able to measure achievement!

Now I have to get back to my writing and maybe some sleep as it is 0218 but monitoring a storm with high winds outside. Anyway, you asked for a comment and there you have it. A comment. I'd post a comment about my comment but then I'd probably have to plead the fifth if ordered to testify before Congress. SO, I'll defer for t he time being while I ponder the fact that we live and we die and we are supposed to be having a good time while doing it.....I think.Gordon Kuhnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12237909143053409520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354434714694727841.post-5965687285992465512012-04-19T06:59:06.931-07:002012-04-19T06:59:06.931-07:00My late father-in-law and my best mate was a PT in...My late father-in-law and my best mate was a PT in the army and always kept fit. When he retired or rather, was pushed, he became ill and told nobody at first. His answewr was to throw himself into a training regime that made most youngsters look like geriactrics. In his local gym they called him the bionic man.<br /><br />After his 2 knee ops wherin they replaced his knees with plastic ones he told me that he did go overboard a bit and never followed his own advice of making sure you allow your body its time to recouperate and rebuild, which generally naturally slows as we age. <br /><br />He commented that our joints have a lifespan and if you choose to wear them out quicker by ignoring the messages your body gives you then you deserve everything you get. <br /><br />I see so many runners wearing knee strappings, hobbling along as if their world will end if they don't get their daily exercise drug.<br /><br />Sometimes, persistence can be just as much an enemy as a friend.

I used to be able to do nearly five but have slunk back to two. :( And I am SUCH a competitive beast. <br /><br />You're right, of course - set the big goal by all means but then take baby steps to get there...It's the old question of how do you eat an elephant (a vegan one of course)? You eat a little each and every day. :) <br /><br />I wanna run. It's my new challenge. I figure if I can high impact dance for two hours solid, I can surely run FFS???
