Subject: Had great morning... that was morning...

Last week I did my workout at the park three days in a row. The first morning, Friday it was late morning and I only did twice around the lake and only walked three miles. It was windy and I only do two trips albeit a hard two trips when it is windy. Saturday & Sunday I did four trips but did not do any walking. But, Sunday’s it was big challenge being it was the third time. Yesterday, Monday I nursed a cramp muscle in my right calf. I wasn’t sure if I was going this a.m. or not till this morning. I went, in spite of the payment being a bit wet here at home. I took a chance. The bike path was fairly dry. This time, I paced myself very well. I let the gears to a lot more work than I normally do. I did not do any walking either. Physically, I feel very well. My legs are fine. Now it is about 2:30 p.m. I do not have any up front reason for feeling so dang depressed. I am bored stiff also. I wish I had someone to visit. But, it probably best I don’t… depression could be catchy… ya know. I sure wish there was a way to check out suicide and be able to come back if I did not like the outcome.

Boy... I have a park right across the driveway of my little apartment building. There are a couple of young dogs playing out there. They look like miniature Boxers. They are just chasing each other like crazy. All that energy! No worries… just play… Jeez!

Well, anyway, four trips around the lake is 33 hilly miles. I do 4-1/2 minute miles. That is 13 mph. Cool, hun? I do not have much to be proud of. At 60 my hair is not terribly grey yet… kinda a brownish red still and thick and wavy… other than that, my body is in shape for being maimed. A nurse at the hospital occasionally teases me of having the Hulk’s legs. Some have suggested that I enter a marathon or something. I just can’t get myself to compete with others or do large crowds… or small crowds. Enough people and there just might be someone deranged enough to really like and want to get real close and chummy… too chummy, if you know what I mean… that would scare the crap right out of me. I couldn’t handle the rejection after they really got to know me.

Do we really need to have a purpose or maybe to fulfill a purpose in life to be a qualifying human?

Enough rambling… thanks for being here for me… for all of us.
