running and getting into shape....

[Leon]

Just turning 50 made me sort of want to get into shape again. I think I have the cardio going ok but need to do some weight training too. It will happen sooner than later, one way or the other. Health is an aspect I think Americans greatly overlook. How many of us remember before all of the gadgets when we were young, in the 60s-70s? Our moms used to kick us out of the house each day in the summer. We would go home for lunch and then back out, always on the run....literally. We played a ton of sandlot baseball and other outside games. Those were the days. Kids just don't do that stuff so much anymore, from what I can tell. I know my 15 yr old doesn't do any sandlot stuff. She plays a lot of club volleyball so gets some exercise but kids today, in general, don't get very much exercise at all.
