    I do a brisk power walk every day. It's been my main exercise routine since the bike accident. And, it's not always easy during the Winter. It snowed last night, for example.

    I am a sick man. after doing that 7 mile run yesterday. I took the dogs out for a long walk and did a bunch of yard work. by the end of the day the fitbit said 14+ miles. Last night my thighs and lower back painfully cramped up 3-4 times. So what did I go do today you ask? Ruth and I took the dogs on a 5 mile walk. Now doing more crap around the property and I am up to 9 miles for the day and it's only 2:23 pm. we did take a break for Carnitas tacos and beer for lunch though.

    Keep it up, TG. Your efforts are an investment in your health. And, it sounds like you enjoy the process. Well done.

    I try some kind of excersize every day, get sore then do more excersize on the third day and get sore again, in other words I stay sore on top of everything else. I can't retain any of the benefits that I do. Push ups, pull ups excersize wheels and walking.. I don't know why I bother sometimes it just leads me to the pill bottle. I basically can't stand the shape my body got into after laying in the hospital for close to three months, but I can't seem to do anything about it.
