LIFE IS A RISK FACTOR.

IT ASTONISHES ME HOW FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT.

THE ADRENALINE RUSH GRABS SOME OF US AND THE WORST PART OF OLD AGE IS RECONCILING WITH THE REALITY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REALLY EXPERIENCE IT ANYMORE.

I ENJOY YOUR POSTS.

KEEP THE FAITH.

—”WORST PART OF OLD AGE IS RECONCILING WITH THE REALITY OF NOT BEING ABLE TO REALLY EXPERIENCE IT ANYMORE.”

That is a fact!!!

Just completed an hour on my bike chasing 90% HR, feels good but intervals to 100% are better but only once a week for me.
For reasons I have yet to determine, multiple runs to 100% make my ankles sore???

Being a young septuagenarian my ankles should not be a problem?

Well, there was the time when a co-worker bet me I could not jump from bollard to bollard in the parking lot!
And they were close at about four feet apart.

Easy-peasy!!! I ran down the row .
Laughing and not exactly paying attention as I jumped off the last one and twisted my ankle, BIG TIME! I turned purple, but only for a week or two.

But I collected!!!
