Today's song is: Clean Bandit and Ellie
I don't think I would be remiss in saying that Covid-19 has degraded the quantity of life for most of us. I would also argue the impact has been greater in some age groups than others. Obviously young people graduating form high school and going off to University have been robbed of some of life's best rituals.
However, they have many years left to regain some of life's experiences. Older folks (older 70) lose out in more ways than one as they only have a few years of life remaining. A year of Covid to an older person could represent 10-20% of their remaining years. Ouch!
Realizing you may have only 10 winters remaining means that you look forward to winter and embracing all that it has to offer.
Perhaps more important than the years an older person has remaining is the quality of life in those remaining years. I have argued before, the most important aspect in your life is your health! If you don't have good health all else is moot.
So, I would argue, eat well, exercise well, and play well. They are all important and remember, 'We are here for a good time, not a long time!' Embrace whatever life you have and run with it. If you are not happy, change it! And, if you can, take a walk on the wild side now and again :-)
I have been known to say that, 'I don't regret anything I have done, just the things that I have not done.'
As winter has started to approach, it has been chilly going for my run. I am now doing interval training, running 500 metres, walking 500 metres, times 4 which translates into running 2 kms and walking 2 kms, whereas in the past I ran 3 kms straight at 10kph. My new training regime is easier on the joints and I believe better for cardio.
However it is time to extend it my intervals to six sets regaining my 3kms of running and adding 3 kms of walking. I have been debating whether or not to buy a treadmill and a Costco promotion i coming up tomorrow so I think I will jump on it.
I do enjoying running and listening to music and watching the news at the same time.
