Friday and Monday

Short entry today, not for lack of exercise effort. I was just busy this weekend and need to catch up.

On Friday morning, I woke up feeling sore. I’ve been exercising twice a day at times and it was catching up with me a little. So when I got to the starting spot, I asked Danica how she was feeling.

“Funny you ask,” she said. “I’m feeling a little sore here,” and pointed at her hip.

“Funny you say that,” I said. “I’m feeling a little sore here,” pointing to my right glute.

“Then let’s walk,” she said. And we did, going to the neighborhood pond and back, talking about this and that.

On Saturday, I returned to basketball after several weeks of recovering from MOHS surgery. I did not play well, but it was good to get back on the court.

On Sunday, I registered for a program called Omada, sponsored by my medical insurance for health coaching to accelerate weight loss and cut down my hypertension. I am always a little suspicious about insurance companies asking you to join programs that gather your personal health data, but as a retired dude, I am at no risk of losing my insurance due to preexisting conditions. I will post more on Omada as it goes forward.

Today, I was up again early and we went back to running. The intervals are getting longer, so I think I am advancing. The heat is still ridiculous, however, and these runs are always ending with me soaked to the skin. I really need to hydrate - I don’t want to be that guy who drops dead in the middle of a run.

Onward!
