    Wow, I am not sure I could do that dancing.
    I was happy I could do the steps in the step class and there were other, much younger people than me who were not able to follow.
    Thankfully, that muscle memory seems to be well ingrained. And now , 3 days later, my calves are still screaming.

    Still recovering from the bug but good enough to take an extra long walk with the mutt. We stopped and took pictures of nearby parks, tennis courts, baseball field. I have to compete with condos which may have pools, a gym. I want the proerty manager to put those in the ad that tennis etc is right next door.

    My calves are still hurting me and now all of my "injury prone" parts are acting up. Not making me want to go out on a long ride.
    Ugh. Sometimes I think it's not worth being fit .
    Got the compression things on my calves again, stretching, and hoping my back feels better, too. Thinking I feel like a massage.

    Well as long as we're on sports, RIP Marco Simoncelli. That's the most shocking news I've woken up to in a long time, and I'm just reeling.



    ETA: and just in case anyone might mistake it, obviously I understand that Sico's death is inconsequential in the scale of the world. I meant shocking in terms of the combination of sudden, unexpected, happening in a horrific manner, and directly impacting people a few of whom I know personally and many of whom I've at least spoken to or been in the same room with, in a sport I follow and enjoy.

    I saw the start ... and the end. I can't find film of the haka at this game yet but boy howdy if I was the opponent and saw this I'd run.

    WOW, that was pure testosterone! So did they win? I also note the lack of padding and protective armor, I don't know anything about Rugby but I am quite sure I would be running with you!

    Right; no padding, gloves or helmets, none of this run for 5 seconds and go to the sidelines to suck oxygen, no "the defense looks tired but they've been out there nearly the whole quarter", no half time break that I could see ...

    And the women's team:
