Trying to be better
I've been trying to post more often, but then I look around and it's days since I have. There's a lot going on right now, mostly physically.
So I'm 40, and I'm trying to get back into shape. I've been going to the gym 2-3 times a week, taking kendo on wednesdays, taking jujitsu on sundays. I should be feeling wonderful.
Dude, I feel like pounded shit right now. I just drove home from a really nice dinner with the folx in my IT department (no, I don't drink, so it's not that). We all sat and had drinks and dinner, and it was just nice hanging out with them in a relaxed atmosphere.
btw - I don't understand how people still go to bars. Dude! It was fine when we got there, but by the time we were ready to leave around 8, we were pretty much yelling across the table. Nuts. Glad I don't drink or have to go out to bars anymore.
Anyway, so what the hell is wrong with me? I ran 2.25 miles on saturday and my foot is still hurting. My right wrist started hurting for no reason end of last week (someone here thought it might be a ganglion cyst - sounds like star trek
). My ankle has been stiff as hell for the last month.
Why do I bother? It seems the more I work out, the more I hurt myself. And it just occurred to me that most of the reason I may be getting sore or hurt is because I don't stretch. That and I ran in soccer shoes on Saturday which was flippin stupid as hell.
Anyway, I need to go to bed.
