I’m taking it slow today. Woke up late and luxuriously, laying in bed longer than needed. I might’ve actually needed it. I’ve been feeling drained these last few days. Lots of walking to go with finally restarting some manner of lifting and stretching. I needed to get back into the routine of working out. In truth, routine is a misnomer. I’ve never steadily exercised without the threat of expulsion–be it from a team or life itself. I’m on the latter at the moment. In order to live I need to lift, or some manner of physical improvement. I’ve heard that flexibility, walking, and strength training is key in these years beyond 50. I am also reading a bunch about the benefits of creatine, which I have not taken since I was a college freshman. Miss those days of wanting to get bigger. I’m certainly bigger now… Way bigger than intended.
I want to change my life radically towards how I live when I’m off season. It is going to be a process, but one I am ready to take. Day by day I am realizing the habits and routines that make me happy as an individual. I’m doing more to codify that into what is my life.
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Loaded-gun ‘horseplay’ leads to accidental shooting of California cop” Oh there’s bodycam footage!
- Well, the kid made the top 150 after all. #143. The odd part is he was heralded as a top hurdler and a 2-way player who is a standout wideout destined to be a db at the next level… Hasn’t been a WR since freshman year. Didn’t even make the list then…
- Suffering from a long lasting case of Golfer’s Elbow. Been almost a year at this point, I believe. I need to figure out how to treat it.
