Hey, I Missed a Day

No, I didn't miss a day of posting, I missed posting about yesterday. Yesterday was exactly two months until my 60th. I guess that means today is 60 days until my 60th. (I just love playing with all those numbers.) Sometimes I wonder if I am paying all this attention to it so that either a) you will all feel sorry for me as I approach those "golden years" or b) I will talk myself through it without noticing that I am actually getting old.

But in all this I did get back to exercising yesterday. I stopped about 6 weeks ago when my neuropathy from my back problems really acted up and then I had an epidural injection. The injection worked marvelously, but I was afraid to do anything that might cause damage or hurt or pain and I'd be back where I was. So in some long conversations with my wife- actually long talked from her to me about it- I got back on track yesterday.

It felt good. I am not in as good a shape as I was a couple months ago, but I'm not too bad (for a guy my age.) I did 20 minutes on the bike and a few stretches and machines and called it quits. But I'm back. And I like it.

Next I will be out getting my new bike, probably a Trek 7000. Will keep you posted.
