After two days off the bod still needs to recover. Ah, the joys of aging. Fortunately, experience has shown that recovery times will improve as training becomes more regular. Active recovery day.

Food intake is up, weight is up and slept ten hours last night. Blood work scheduled in a few days, started backing off of supplements to help ensure an accurate baseline test.

Life got in the way of training today, so I only managed to grab a 30 minute walk tonight. The bod was feeling pretty sore and run down – time for a recovery day. I can still honestly say, “I’ve exercised every day this year.” So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice…

Took advantage of the warm, sunny day to stroll around the neighborhood listening to tunes and soaking up some rays.

Pinched my left ulnar nerve while sleeping (I guess) a few days ago. Either that or perhaps a carpal tunnel flare up. Haven’t been able to hit the gym, but have been doing some isometrics, ab work, stretches and got in a good 30-minute walk today. Also learned yesterday that aqua-aerobics is supposed to be a great way to work through injuries like this – do some active recovery (get the blood pumping, but don’t create a training effect) with some light resistance. Have to give that a try tomorrow if I’m not 100%.

A friend said, “That’s what happens when you get old, dude.” Harrumph. As another acquaintance of mine has said, “I reject your reality and substitute my own.” Nyah!
