Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

Last week - Camping in Buena Vista, CO. On one day, hiked up towards the Colorado Trail but turned around when the snow got thigh deep and one of the dogs was floundering. Day two was mountain biking on the Midland Trail and other trails in the BV area. Great fun in spite of a couple of spectacular get-offs. :icon_spee

Happy to see work capacity improving. Average number of swings per minute has been going up by about 2 swings/ minute each week. Rest periods on the clean & press have been getting shorter as well. Just wish the snow and cold would stop so I could spend some quality time on the bike. Our annual ride in the high country is only two months away.

Been having some weird shoulder pain and went to physical therapy. Good news it isn't my shoulder; bad news it is an issue in my neck. Seems the nerves that originate at C4 and C5 are being pinched. My therapist is a miracle worker so I am hoping she can get me back in good working order.

Apparently the body is a very good accountant and mine is paying me back for all the abuse I heaped on it over the years (skydiving, motocross, bicycle racing, weightlifting). Reminds me of the poster that shows a grizzled old cowboy and the caption says, "If I had known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself." ;)
