No ill effects from yesterday’s twinge. I always keep in mind the potential of injury and try to avoid it. I try to drill that into my mind and keep focused on it. Muscle weighs more than fat, so there could be an initial weight gain or slow weight loss, but the shape of my body will change, so I should feel differently. There are physical realities of how much one can do as one gets older. I’m not sure what they are, in terms of building muscle and things like that, and maybe it’s better that I don’t know. I am working out every day, but still too lazy to go fifty yards off the course to get a drink of water! I do some math, which is difficult during exercise. Athletes should not be thought of in terms of a low-intelligence stereotype – it takes math skills to be good if you are serious about it! Signs are everywhere, but I am getting used to the course and some of them are confusing. I have a lot of energy today. Going over 2.5 miles seems like a milestone and I feel good about the progress I have made.
