ON REFLECTION
I decided (with some prodding from John) that maybe it is time to bring my fitness game back indoors.
It is going to be cold for awhile. The wind chill on the bike is not to happy at 6 in the morning. And there is the continued threat of unknown ice spots waiting out there for me.
Despite my earlier elan, I am a bit shaken by the near catastrophe yesterday (see below). Notice that it has moved up the scale of upset some. I think it took awhile to sink in.
And, I need to get some strength training back.
After a couple years of mostly aerobic exercise, my upper body muscles have become as flaccid as yarn.
So, this morning I signed up for my old on-line trainer program.
This time with Gym America.
It is the same software that I used with Mens Health—Genisant.
I will begin Monday.
I don't know how I will work it yet.
I will be at Golds.
We still have the old 99 dollar a year Lifetime Membership that we got when we moved to the desert ten years ago. We renew every year whether we are going to the gym or not. Keepin' it alive.
I bet they kick themselves everytime we renew. I think it is more like 99 a month now.
Maybe not. The deals change all the time.
Golds was open 24 hours. If they are still doing that, no problem.
If not, I will adjust.
It is time for a change.
It has been suggested that maybe I am too old to be vying with cars and trucks on the highways early in the morning.
I don't yet accept the "too old" part but I will accept that there is some risk involved on the road and I may not want to take that risk anymore.
Well, at least for now.
