Another loss of trust

As a five-decade athlete the number of miles and reps is staggering. Never thought about it until the recurring foot injuries forced me to .think .differently

In a way, trust in what you could do 10, 20, 30+ years ago legitimately becomes iffy.

i cannot trust several groups of ligaments, tendons and muscles to be there for me like the trusted friends they’ve been over the decades.

This is a cool revelation because it is a put up or shut up crossroads.

Have fun.

Get healthy.

Stay healthy.

Wanna play?

“DQ” seems legit. The wrist pain has morphed to this.

Wanna play?

Present, mindful, and motivated.

And especially, grateful.

What?

Play.

What?

Bring back the (child’s) play.

Wanna?

72-hour challenge

Yesterday, met Cheryl at work so we could ride together to Epcot last night. Took this photo of the 2001 photo in her office. i began a consistent workout habit this same year.

Three days later, wrist is improving.

Ice, heat, ibuprofen, and a wrist brace.

Straightforward.

Common sense.

Amazing what can happen in three days.

Remarkable what can happen in nearly two decades using common sense.

Will i return to running soon?

Will you?

Overuse and aging

Yesterday was a perfect day to ride a bicycle to Disney’s Magic Kingdom. Photo: Passing through Disney University.

Been dealing with a sore clavicle.

Most likely an overuse and repetitive motion injury.

Out of nowhere.

Thankful to be alive to have reached an age where this is a prevailing reality.

Find a million ways to stay motivated.

Right?

The alternative is to quit.

Not a chance.

Right?

First massage in half a year

Kermit the Frog
Last night watching the recorded 2018 American Idol Finale.

 

 

First massage in half a year.

Why?

Been busy.

Ninty minutes with Rick.

To get there by 9am, i rode a bike eight miles.

Rode home another eight miles.

To get 16 miles biking on a “non-workout” day is cool.

Rented bikes in Glacier for eight days, just to have them for whatever moves me.

Best Summer ever?
