From KT – July 3, 2012
Yo DaVitans!
Happy Birthday America! A good day to reflect on whether each of us is being a good citizen. Imperfect, but well-intentioned. John Gardiner said “Liberty AND duty. Freedom AND responsibility. That’s the deal.”
A quick late night message here on July 3rd. First, I only did about 1.5 hours of Village work today, that felt good.
I did my standard bike ride up here in the mountains, 5 miles, 1900 feet of vertical, and I set a personal best of 44:32, beating my prior personal best by 7 seconds! Also 3 sets of curls and push-ups, 70 crunches, and a bit of stretching. On top of that I went in for a painful deep tissue massage, it was 90 minutes long of which 60 were painful. So total exercise time of 135 minutes, i subtracted out the 30 minutes of the massage that were not painful. I need the massages to reduce inflammation and stiffness when I do a bunch of riding or running, otherwise my risk of injury goes up a bunch.
I hope you are doing well in your pursuit of better health! Many many others are pulling for you, and applauding your victories!
One for All & All for One …. KT

Glad to hear that you work and play as hard as each of many of us! But quite awesome that you are taking care of yourself….We need you there at the top! I personally appreciate the encouraging words even though I exercise far less than you do, I appreciate you sharing your experiences. I motivates me to do a little more each time I set out.
