Finally made it to one-third of the daily workout I was doing before failure of the abdominal wall and the surgery to repair it. And it's almost like that first spring day on the bike when you're cruising down the flat at 17-18 mph and you realize you're almost back from the winter layoff.
Yeah, it feels like that. But also, at this age, that almost-euphoria is balanced by the memory of another perfect day, just down the lane from the truss plant, when I leaned against the bike for a minute before starting the 15-mile ride home, and thought, "Damn, I'm so lucky to be doing this. Because I know there'll come a day when I won't be able to do anything but remember it."
And I was right. That day came.
And It'll come again...
