Hot again

It was in the mid 60's today, so I went out for a run. I went to Nay Aug Park and ran along the trails. At the beginning of Davis Trail is a small memorial to fallen soldiers. I always feel honored to run past it. They paid the ultimate price for our freedoms. They will never again smell the scent of spring that surrounds us all today. I for one am grateful. Today at the park there were people walking, running and riding bikes and an abundance of dogs. Some kids were in strollers and some walkers were even older than me. There were frisbies and one pair throwing a hardball back and forth.  It was really a vast array of sun worshippers. In inclement weather, I am at times, the only one here. I like that sometimes, but today it was nice to share the park. As busy as it was, there was room for a few more. You should have been there.

Be active, don't "park" your butt on a couch

                                                               

chilly today,,,,

It is chilly today but the time for serious training is upon me. I need to lose a few pounds, gain some flexibility and strength, and all around get into better shape. I look way too much like a side of beef hanging from these rings. I went for a short run, did a little obstacle work at the playground, then did a little circuit work before finishing up with a slow final mile to cool down. Last week it was in the 70's. This week it is damp and in the 50's. Yet the training must go on. Looking back on the last few years or so, I wish I had maintained, now I have to re-aquire before I can begin to maintain. My joints are older and less willing to do as I ask, but they will loosen in time. The human body is continuously rebuilding itself. With a little direction from the brain and a little tenacity, it will rebuild better.

Be active, life is more fun
