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!

Lethargy reigns
I ALMOST DIDN'T RIDE TODAY. I'd had a fairly good sleep of nine hours, but I had no energy. Still, I thought I needed some aerobics, so I finally decided to go for a short and easy one, hoping that it might refresh me. About 7 miles into it -- when I was approaching home -- I was feeling more tired than ever, and I was glad I didn't have much further to go. I got back to the garage at 8.3 miles; stretched, snacked on eggs and yogurt, showered, went to bed, and slept for an hour. As I write this (7:30 pm) I'm looking forward to getting back to sleep.
