What a Saturday!

A high-tension, strenuous workout this morning; cardio and weight lifting.

Then a haircut, a hot shower, a massage, and now relaxing with a very tall cold beer.

If anybody needs me, I'll be in a puddle on the floor...

Plus some upper body strength training. When I was a grass cutter a thousand years ago my resting heart rate was 43 bpm, which the doc termed "athletic". Now, after almost 4 years of recovery from a life threatening illness it's back down to 50 bpm. Not bad for a 60 year old arthritic in a wheelchair!

What's your rate?

I do cardio and massage to keep my blood pressure within normal limits. As long as my heart rate stays normal too, I'm happy.

I had a busy day too, but nothing close to your day.

Enjoy your evening!

That IS strenuous.

Sounds like you're seriously resting tonight, and you should!

Enjoy your beer!
