Social media, Face book in reticular, has its uses, there is a “memory lane” app. Being hormone free, I have no recall or memory of my own. I now rely, it appears on machines to sustain some sort of life nowadays. Tea in hand and typing away in the early hours, whirling around the websites. Up popped the following message: “Your Memories on Facebook Linda, we care about you and the memories you share here. We thought you’d like to look back on this post from 5 years ago. “ I don’t remember what I did two minutes ago, let alone five years. (good or bad its all gone.) Somehow with all this working out, I have not lost anything but my memory. Frankly, I don’t think boot camp could have helped with the ongoing battle against mother nature in that regard.
As a result of all this modern technology, I was knowledgeable, as it had let me know me that on this date in 2011, a testing session was held. At the very first test, apparently I ran a 16 minute kilometer. Fast forward, you all, recall my dear and gentle readers, are well acquainted with the fact, and be on familiar terms with, just how well I can time travel. OFF we go to 2016 and just recently. We left the gym behind for the summer and are running. ( I actually can walk faster than I can run. )
You will be pleased to know that I am consistent. I am in spite of everything wearing my Mr. Miyagi look. You my dear and gentle readers of long standing, may be able to recall, (well, some of you) is wearing the very attractive cotton scarf about my forehead. I ran (?) the lake not once, but twice, not in a row, mind you, but twice in one class, and both times in 8 minutes. Half the time! Not pausing, sweating, but not even breathing all that hard. In reality I had shaved, not only my legs, but 8 minutes and 30 seconds! It only took years of blood, fret and fears.
Last night, was special, we flipped tires, pulled sleds, ran up the hill far away three times, sit ups, push ups star planks all in a row, and all on the board,. wearing my make it hurt t-shirt. I’ve wrestled with alligators. I’ve tussled with a whale. I done handcuffed lightning. And throw thunder in jail.” Muhammad Ali and Moi
