Savannah was scheduled to meet me in the Metroparks for a Survival Workout, but by the time she remembered she was stranded at home without a car, I was already done with my first set of push-ups and ready to move on. I went solo.
It
turned out to be a very good workout again.
I included a couple of sprints and managed another 24 sets. I’ll be missing workouts for the next several
days as I will be traveling to New York, but I feel that as long as I manage
two a week, I’ll be able to maintain much of the strength and conditioning I’ve
achieved over the past several years with the workout. I have reached the point that I’m not
noticing progress, but simply maintaining what I’ve built…and that’s a good
thing. I can still sprint when I want
to, play any sport without fear of injury, lift heavy things around my house
and Mimi’s without throwing my back out and pretty much act like a conditioned
30-year old. It’s a very good feeling
and one I hope to keep for the next few decades, at least. Since my son Jack likes to carry his sister
around as part of his workout, I’ve also gotten a commitment from him to carry
me part way up peaks I can’t quite manage when I reach that point. I want to do as much as I can for as long as
I can. That’s all.
