One of the biggest challenges for older “athletes” is staying healthy – also known as staying injury free. Aches and pains are inevitable. But they don’t have to stop us.
Insight: When your body is telling you something, listen. We don’t need to stop, but slowing down may be a brilliant idea. So yesterday the 50-minute run became a 50-minute walk.

PS. Anyone who exercises is an athlete.
Yesterday the health care CEO asked if I had my morning run. I replied, “No, today is an active rest day”.
Active rest. The deliberate, and planned, act of doing nothing – so as to be able to do more, and do it better.

Took the day “off” from running yesterday. Experimenting with the benefits of more rest and recovery as a Master’s athlete (52).
Or, was I rationalizing that the early morning rush for Church and the 38 degree temps were a good reason to skip a run?

“It’s been too long since the last time I exercised.”
“The Holidays mess up my diet.”
“After the New Year I’ll start fresh.”

It’s been 7 days since my last run, and 9 days since the last gym workout. Let’s call it “rest”, and get back to it asap. Okay?

Me too.
For three weeks, resting, stretching, taking it very easy, being careful.
And the pain is getting worse.
