Not bad. Yesterday I was real lethargic. Today I have much more energy, but I'm spacy. Almost let the oatmeal boil off. There were just a few bubbles of water in the pan when I caught it. All in all, it could be a lot worse.

And if I feel inclined to complain, I just imagine what kind of day my nephew is having in Iraq. That cures any complaints.

I'm feeling terrific. Just turned 59 last month and did a 51 miles as a routine daily ride this morning. Life is good!

Have my health. Have my family. Have friends. Have a job. Have a house. Have food on the table. Have a vehicle that runs. Have two bikes. Life is good.

No complaints here! I get to ride a little, work a little, and love a little. Life is good and I am truly blessed.

Normally I'm good with this stuff and have good hand dexterity. But, for some reason, I can't seem to get a handle on the mechanics of casting on from the video. The other night I moved my thumb around to the other side of the needle and accidently flung it across the room, pulling it out of the stitches as it flew. I bet that takes the cake for the most clumsy start to knitting ever.

always great when i'm passing someone young enough to be my kid. put some slicks on my hard tail mtb and passed three young guys riding matching Cervelos while climbing a hill. they didn't like it. oh well "F" em if they can't take a joke. life is too short to go slow!

bikejoel

hey look, i'm a 53 yr old "Newbie" i think i like that!

I can crochet, embroidery and sew but just can't get the hang of knitting. Oh well, I really like riding my bike more than knitting

Yen

Yes, the bike does not drive me crazy like that did. Last night's ride restored my sanity.

When You learn to knit- I could do with a neck warmer for the winter- 2010 will do.

Too many staff on Holiday or sick and I don't care. 6 pm and I was on the bike and thinking of my neck warmer. Cool ride tonight.

At the rate I'm going, it will take me at least that long. Actually, scarves (what we call them here) will be my first projects. What color do you want?

The kids got me back on a bike after 12 years of inactivity on July 1. Two weeks ago I did 24 miles of rolling terrain at 18+ mph. Just got back from a vacation in Oregon. I'm ready to roll again! It helps to be semi-retired! No, I don't feel like I did when I was 25 but I feel pretty good. It's a great ol' life, isn't it?

I am feeling pretty good. I would feel absolutely great if I could cycle and hike rather than work!

I voted "otherwise", mainly due to fighting a nagging shoulder injury. Been off the bike for a week and a half and itching to get back on. Gotta go see the doc tomorrow and see what is happening here.

I'm having a series of really good days!

Spent Saturday camping with my wife in Summit County, and the spent Sunday riding bikes with my wife and my son!

We rode the trail from Frisco to Breckenridge, arriving at a restaurant for lunch just as the rain arrived. Stopped raining by the time we were done with lunch, and had a nice sunny ride back to Frisco and on to Silverthorne. My son and I decided to do a quick 40 miles, and pounded out 20 miles north of Silverthorne along the Blue River -- one of the most beautiful rides I've done in a long time!

We covered the 20 miles out in just over 1 hour . . . a slight grade, slight headwind, and the altitude contributed to a 95-minute return trip. Felt pretty drained at the end of the day -- 62 miles -- which put me over 1,500 for the year (equal to all of last year!)

Life is good!

Same here. I saw the Doc, just took an MRI. No Biking for three weeks. I get the MRI results in a week and I'm real concerned. Getting older stinks.

Today I feel great. Yesterday when you first posted this I didn't feel great. We will have to see what tomorrow brings.

Its hard to be a curmudgeon every day.

It's cool and rainy here today.

Not great weather for riding, but so much better than hot and sunny!!!

Trsnrtr

Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.

Ken Brown

I didn't vote because I am feeling good today, but not great (yet). Last 2 days have been overcast, windy, cool and a bit drizzly, which really sucks in August. A week ago I was complaining that it was too hot, now ... Today is forecast be nicer so I plan a bike ride, then I will be great.

No matter how you're feeling today, the fact that you're feeling sure beats the eternal alternative.

Beverly

Grumpy would just about cover it today

Monday night's ride was cancelled due to thunderstorms and last night wasn't much better. After 8 miles in a steady rain and increasing winds we decided to call it quits and head to the restaurant. Rain soaked biking clothes and an air conditioned restaurant aren't a good combination I quickly ate the sandwich and headed for the car where I turned on the heat for the drive home.

I believe every day is just not a good day but a great day!

And, you'll live longer and happier for it! Cheers!

Great is the only way to be!

One of you said each day is a gift. I start every day now thanking God for the gift of that day.

I'm 57. 6 weeks ago I had open heart surgery to replace an aortic valve, to repair an aneurism and they threw in a maze procedure to resolve some old afib issues that were mostly under control. If they hadn't caught the aneurism in time, I would have died. It might have been next week or next year, but it was certain.

Life is great! In just 2 more weeks or so, I get to start riding again. Before this, I was hitting between 400 and 500 miles a week. It will take months to get back to that point, but I'll get there.

Aches and pains kind of go with the over 50 territory. They beat the heck out of the alternative!

Ride. Lots. Never give in.
