    Temperature here has reached 34 degrees celscius, so i have been walking to the nearby beach to go swimming. Thought it might sap my strength as summer swimming tends to do, but all was good.

    I use the term amazing with the following definition in mind.

    "amazing (əˈmeɪzɪŋ) causing wonder or astonishment: amazing feats."

    Reading the 5 years of your training log shows that you have been able to maintain substantial strength either in spite of or because of the accumulation of years. You deserve a lot of respect for staying with it. It's nice to have you as a "positive" role model.

    David! I should be blushing with embarrassment and humility.
    Naah ....
    I'm so swollen up with pride and pleasure, I'll go straight to hell.
    Amazing someone has taken the trouble to read through all my stuff.
    But really it's nothing special. I see myself as an athlete and a warrior, so i have no other option but to live and train as they do.

    Right back at ya, friend Jerry. Never miss your posts, as a contemporary old timer. Not much for me to say on your thread, as your training is logical and consistent.

    chuckle! Well, as a young fellow getting into it, you're sure to have many years of exciting revelations ahead.
