May 28, 2021 – Life of an old goat

The introvert I am married to wants to resume family life (with her “larger than mine” sized family) and I want nothing to do with it.

I also LIKE zoom meetings; easy to turn the sound off when a tiresome person goes on and on…

But..I get pools, gyms and ball games so….I suppose there is a price for everything.

Workout notes:

swimming…I had the good fortunate of being next to a “slightly faster than I” swimmer (a low bar) and it helped.

200 free, 300 of 75 kick, 25 swim (fins), 200 side, 300 of 75 kick, 25 swim (fins), 200 mix pull/free, 300 of 75 kick, 25 swim, 100 side, 2 x 50 on the 1:15 (1:30 last one) 52, 53, 54, 50 for 1800 total.

Shoulder stuff, then 12 km (7.5 miles) in 23:30 on the indoor cycle.

Shoulders: somewhat wonky…felt good after swimming…hurt a bit with exercises…doing without naproxen for now?

Message to readers

I intend to use this blog as a type of open diary to talk about what is on my mind. I will post workouts, my thoughts on political, social and news issues of the day, outings with family and friends and games that I attended. I’ll also talk about footraces (runs and walks).

Discussion is fine, even if your views are contrary to mine. Fact checking me or pointing out what you think are holes in my arguments is fine. “Shouting slogans” or name calling is not.

Encore posts are posts that I’ve taken from my previous blog, which I’ve decided to shut down for a while, for personal reasons.

Note: I will avoid using my name on this blog, though I will have photos of myself here. Reason: I do not want to be found by someone putting my name into a search engine. Therefore, anyone who comes to this blog must have either had a link (available to Facebook friends), came for a given post OR must have done at least a little work to get here deliberately. I have reasons for that.
