I found out a self evident fact this morning at about five-thirty.
I used to run. I like running. Last year I tore something in my knee and quit. When I went to get back in shape this year, I figured as I get older I might not want to risk it again so I started with the elliptical like you do when you’re old.
This has been going on for a couple months about fifteen to twenty minutes a day on the elliptical.
Yesterday someone had the audacity to be on the sole elliptical in the gym. Unacceptable, but there it was. They probably didn’t know who I was or it never would have happened, I’m sure.
So I did what any overconfident, aging, middle aged man would do.
I went for a run.
Let me tell you, that while the elliptical was helping me lose weight… It did not prepare me for that run.
Because… Wow. My calves and thighs are hurting.
I feel like I’ve been lied to.

I know what this feels like.
I am closing in on 70, and while I don't have an exercise routine like yours, If I skip even one day my arthritis "sings the song of its people" the next day. Ow.

My back hurts most days. Hoping that will ease once I get this weight off.
