Feeling my age

That day hiking all over the University of Oregon campus really took it out of me. I was pretty much a complete bum today. I got laundry and dishes done, but spent a lot of time camped out on the couch too.

I was tired. Dog tired. Dead tired. And when I did get up to check the laundry or put clothes away, the muscles in my thighs protested at the strain of going from a seated to a standing position.

If I were smart, I would use this as impedes to start a regular exercise regime. But I'm also certain if I lay back down on the couch, that urge will pass.
