STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

Can't say much about Achilles injury but I knew when my gastroc muscle snapped, it was the beginning of the end. I feel extreme pain and soreness whenever I push my legs as I did before. My sports doctor advised me that it is risky to push my body given the trauma it suffered. What he's saying actually that I could do 70% at best just to be on the safe side. Have to change my whole mindset.

No kidding, my body is giving up on me. Too bad my mindset hasn’t adjusted yet, that’s the harder part.

well it is. it took awhile for me to even adjust. I have always been competitive. the realization sets in when I felt that I couldn't keep up with the younger dudes when athleticism and endurance is considered. I have to resort to experience, fundamental skills and pacing. as an older dude, it helps to slow the game down to your advantage. you might start to appreciate that seeing you able to beat the younger guys is not all about being flashy and athletic.
 
I always appreciate a park with proper height pull up bars. There's this one spot near me that has pull up bars, a couple 10' tall fireman polls, dip bars and monkey bars. Will be going there more this spring / summer as it starts warming up.
