Maybe we need a moor burn ourselves. Maybe that’s what this period has been for me, a burning, a cleansing. A release. I am 78.8kg right now, which suggest to me that maybe I can make that under 78kg weight category for competitions. Or maybe it’s 77kg. Clearly it’s my muscle mass dropping off and I’ll be back to square one of the 5,3,1 should I choose to use that again. I see no reason not to, it’s good for me to follow something, but I must admit, it’s also been good for me to rest up too. My back/hip isn’t hurting the way it was and I’m not chomping on ibuprofen like they’re sweeties, or wearing my daughter’s hot water bottle at work. The movement, or lack of it is the worrying part, but that could be just down to being an old guy. I was always quite lucky with knee and back issues really, they tend to be the first things to go in men.
Beautiful morning now, sun streaming in though it was overcast and warm when we were out earlier. Thunderstorms predicted later to shift the oppressive heat, but I’m not complaining. I like both the heavy rain and the hard hitting sun. Both give life, let’s take it.
