Thanks, Gary, now if it would only stop raining I COULD get out and get some exercise!

My late father in law said you have to be tough to get old. He was right.

I've had a few hiatuses from training due to injuries and so forth. I've found that the best thing to do when getting back up to speed is to be kind to your body. Rather than trying to force it to get back up to a certain level at a rate which suits your schedule you have to develop the humility to let things take their course in their own time.
I also highly recommend run-walks for getting back up to pace. Run a hundred metres, walk fifty, run a hundred and so on. Just don't let your heart rate get too low in between running sections. It built me up way faster than trying to do block training. Good luck.

I got out the Indian clubs again finally, and after just a couple days my daily walk felt sprightlier. My theory is the clubs are getting my upper body integrated with my legs so it isn't just riding around like a sack of potatoes.
I came across my Castaneda's Magical Passes. Gotta start mashing energy for intent again.

Maybe he drank nothing but water, or maybe that was more of his "stalking" disinformation. Anyway, I'm in a different lineage of sorcery.

Scalpels are traditional, right? Long video meetings have taken me back to pencil carving, which I used to do when I was bored at school.
"Yes, Ma'am. I'm paying attention, I'm just sharpening my pencil."

Hatari! Is such a great movie. I never get tired of watching it.
A toast to John Wayne:

Hope everyone has a good week!

If the guy on the fender had a net, (and there was wheat or grass or something) they could be collecting grasshoppers for fish bait.

That's John Wayne catching rhinos!

 

[afishhunter]

Rhino's live in the desert?

Rhino's live in the desert?

In John Wayne movies they do and in Frank Herbert's world (well, kind of ).

 

[Prester John]

Rhino's live in the desert?

They're in east Africa, what is now Tanzania. They were capturing animals for zoos. Rhinos, wildebeasts, giraffes, monkeys, etc. 1962.

Isn't Frank Herbert the guy that wrote "DUNE"?
I don't remember Rhino's ... Giant Sand Worms ... Yep, those were there .... but not Rhinos ... at least not in the first 3 or 4 books.

I did qualify my comment. This was intended as humor "(well, kind of )". I was referring to the giant worms Oh well...

My two pounds of anthracite came. I'd forgotten either how heavy coal is, or how light two pounds is.

Your Christmas present arrived this late?

I'm sure everyone remembered to bring their own. Besides, what's off-camera stays off-camera.
