Oh, Aston...

So I have decided that I need to do more stretching. And after reading Dave's post yesterday about his muscles being sore after battling a peach tree, I think that stretching before doing my run is the thing to do. It's just running, but I know that warming up your muscles before exercising is essential for not fucking up something.

I am not a gym kinda guy, go figure. On the one hand, my free time during the week is kinda limited (I commute to work) and during the weekend, I'm trying to catch up with everything I did not do during the week, so there's that. Add to it that I feel kinda intimidated by the exercise machines they have at gyms and I find them foreboding and you'll have a perfect cocktail of no fucks given for a gym. 

Maybe if they have free weights? 

Nah, I wouldn't do it anyway. I used to go to a gym to do aerobics and some non-aerobic lifting many moons ago, but I don't have the time or the patience to do that nowadays. So I'll just stick to some stretching, a warm-up and then a mile run. That sounds good, right?

I think I'm going to try Aston's little stretching routine, though. It looks doable. Also, Yoga seems to be an exercise, so yeah. I'm going to start this weekend with a little stretching and then I'll do my run. After all, this body needs more and more work every year that passes. I've seen the changes my body has gone through these last years (the Pandemic and its mandatory sweatpants did NOT help). I can still fit in my pants (thank goodness!) but I know that the more we exercise, the better we'll feel.

Who knows, one day I may even feel as good as Aston looks...
