1800 Minutes

1800 Minutes AKA 45x5x8. That’s my new goal to health and fitness. Seems easy really! It all started with 30 minutes for 100 days. I was biologically much healthier at the end of 100 days - which had an 80% completion rate. So, considering the information from my new scale - BMI, body fat, bone density, physiological age, and actual weight - I gotta do some thing serious to ensure health and vitality in the coming years!

Yesterday 8/4/2021 Day 1: Ran/walked.
Today 8/5/2021: Biking.

​I’ll keep ya posted Friends!

She's There

I visited a friend today.  She is in a rehab facility.  She is 50 and had two strokes.  Fifty days later she is weak as a kitten and learning to do everything all over again.   She cannot speak or move alone but she is "in there" as they say.  She gestures with her fingers or gives a thumbs up.  Occasionally she will gesture but I have no idea what she means so eventually I disregard it.   That's not nice.  I'm a terrible sick person visitor.

Until 50 days ago, this friend was the picture of health and fitness.  A former college athlete, she towers over most people both in stature and spirit.   She is strong and active, has an easy smile, quick wit, and a big voice when cheering her team.  

Her natural athleticism will help restore her body.    Her family and friends will do everything they can.  It is her inner strength, her sense of self, her will to be better that will be her greatest tool on her road to recovery.   She's "in there" as they say.
