Foggy Inside and Out

The autumnal foliage show is spectacular this year, especially since we were all dreading how the drought (yes, we're still under a drought watch) would make all the leaves a uniform paper bag brown. It's happened in past years, but a late deluge has perked up the colors! Trees are hued from gold, orange, red and deep magenta between stands of dark green. After this storm though, the wind might knock everything to the ground. Today, the sky is overcast and foggy. My head is clouded too and I'm having trouble focusing. Some people get achy knees; I get brain fog.

Pedaling the elliptical makes everything better although it was a struggle. I only do one set of pull-ups today; my right wrist is twinging oddly and reminds me of a bout of carpal tunnel I had decades ago. There's also a knot in my right trap. Ugh. Core and stretching feel routine although I suspect it will be some days before the soreness in my glute fully dissipates.

I read more disturbing news about blood types and the propensity for certain cancers. Type O have all the luck, and type B don't. But I'm a little shocked to read that snoring also increases the risk for cancer. What? I don't think I snore, except for the time I woke myself up one night. But I know plenty of men who do: when you're camping in a tent, you can hear everyone else in their tents too. Of course, the good news is that lifting weights in conjunction with cardio leads to a longer, healthier life. But, we all knew that already!

Still Got DOMS

I'll admit that I'm a bit surprised to still be experiencing DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) a day after a set of Walking Lunge...
