Had I kept a thorough journal in my 20s and 30s, I could check this assumption better than relying on memory alone, but I do not recall these aches and pains the day after doing a moderate amount of yard work. Yesterday's exertions are today's explanations. My activity level has been minimal this year, and my focus on daily walks needs to be increased. Strength training and flexibility are next. I have been trying to eat more frogs, too. Something I heard or read yesterday emphasized how the most significant hurdle to accomplishment is taking the initial action and staying with it. Like the yardwork yesterday, the plumbing endeavor, the dog food cooking now underway in the kitchen. A lot of time spent running to and returning a ball entering your side of the court is essential to being in the game, and to prevent a mess of dozens of balls, you'll otherwise have to pick up anyway eventually. This echoes a theme in my mindset going back a few decades. I have a full day of to-do's to prove it.
It's time to step onto the court. 🎾
