Oof. Some days I can feel my age. And then I ask myself, have I ever actually felt better than this? I have a hernia, that was thirty years ago. Thought I would need to wear compression pants the rest of my life, wore them about five years. What I learned was that if I gained weight (or wore boxers instead of briefs) I would hurt down there. So I try not to gain weight, and for the most part I haven't hurt down there in thirty years.

Now there's this thing in my wrist. I worry its a symptom of something great, like something to do wit my circulation. But then, maybe it's just muscular. I work out. I do upper body exercises. I have also made a doctors appointment, it's good to see how balanced my humours may be.

Forest Hill Three Mile

I keep running. I will keep running. Knees be damned, Ankles be damned. Thighs be damned, be damned, be damned!

It is remarkable how inspiring music can be. It can also un-inspire, I have to be sure to keep it up beat and interesting. Recent tracks, classic, tracks. I wonder if I should try podcasts again, it is irritating when I cannot forward through the ads.

There appears to be a tiny piece of glass in my left foot. Very small,
