exercise was sporadic at best, I got weak. My muscles were weaker, looked smaller. I will make a judgement from my experience, that it doesn't take long to lose tone and strength as we age. In past reading, I remember that muscle memory will bring you back up to baseline, but you must move. Light exercise, walking at first for a few days, then Ben decided I was ready to do a faster walk\ slow jog on Sunday, with him. I did well enough to complete a circle around our new neighborhood, after a day visiting with my grand kids. I did not hold up as well playing I noticed. I tired out quick for me. So I decided Ben may be right. I survived, felt pretty good for rest of the day, but tuckered out early. After a good nights sleep, I am tired today. Noticeably tired, but that only means I need to walk more today. Or at least try. I can feel parts of my legs that are sore and have not been used in a while. The safest way to do this is to balance rest with activity. After I get my Monday chores done, I plan a walk, a hot shower and an afternoon nap. On the mend again, also for now, means on the road again. I will not give in to weakness. I continue to strive to be the strongest and best I can be for today.
