Summer of soul.

July 20, 1969

I have resolved, as the weather warms and my opportunities to run increase to ease off the garbage food. There has been a lot of that. And you know what? I had also decided not to feel bad about that. But there comes a time when taking it easy feels good. It's stuff I do not wish to carry with me.

The internet is full of blogs like this one, which are a multi-year document of one individual's ageing process as a human, rom teenager to young adult, from older adult into their senior years. I wonder if this one will be of use to anyone, tracking my physical and mental progress from age 38 to (so far) my late-early mid-fifties.

When will it end? When I stop running, I guess. Which will come first, that or death?
