Day 1202 of 365 4 lyf.
So I’ve been trying really hard to get back in shape lately. Steph works at Carnegie Mellon University, which means we have full access to their gym. Aside from working out at home, we’ve been going there once a week.
Today I didn’t stretch as properly as I should and on top of that I ended up using the treadmill. I used to love running. That was back when I had working knees. I don’t anymore. I ran until my legs gave out. Around two miles in. The pain was so great that I had to go lay down on the mat and massage my legs to get the blood flowing again. When I got home I was still having trouble. That’s why God invented tiger balm and aleve. The best that eastern and western medicine have to offer. My knees are still shot to hell, but hey, at least I can walk again, right?
It’s hell getting old… from someone who knows.
