Tuesday’s
disappointing gym workout was a grim reminder that my strength is so fickle and
subject to spoilage and a short shelf life.
My planned
workout included lifting some heavy weight overhead but my strength reservoir had
other plans of taking the day off.
My forensic
investigative analysis for this lackluster strength performance traces its
cause to last Saturday's tough workout during which I recorded
some noteworthy strength and anaerobic cardio performances.
It probably depleted my strength tank and I
needed more recovery time before strength testing again.
After Tuesday’s
ho-hum workout, I drove back to my office while having images of that Medic
Alert television ad of an elderly woman lying on the floor from a fall who calls
on the telephone with an urgent cry of “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Except I was
a weakened middle-aged man crying “I’m weak today and I can’t get up!”

Domini sit semper vobiscum

Seriously we old guys have to moderate our exercise as we get older. Hope you feel better soon.
