THIS BLOG is to record my attempts to get back in shape -- and to reflect on what I learned from my training last year. I'm making it public just for those who want to know how one octagenarian grapples with aging. I BEGAN IT LAST YEAR to keep track of my training for an 80-mile ride on my 80th birthday, September 28. That ride behind me, I stopped riding. By March, I was thoroughly out of shape. Will I regain the vitality I had last September. Come along and see!

15.7 miles in 1 hr 36 min.
15.7 miles, this morning, in 1:36, followed by an egg-and-yogurt snack and some whey protein in skim milk, and a hike to Winco for groceries (2.0 mi. round trip) and a quick lunch on the terrace. Then a nap. Before I got up from the nap, lying there, my legs were feeling so achingly tired that I was afraid I'd overdone it. But once I'd been up for a while I realized I felt pretty good, legs and all. Now, at 8 pm, I'm feeling good, minimally stiff. But tomorrow will be the real test.
