Great log and a good read, anyway, and it looks like you're doing some excellent work - keep it up!
I'm 49 an just started SS last week. I've been inactive for 3-4 months after snapping my achilles tendon doing judo. The only time I've ever felt 'old' was this last 3 months being inactive, immobile and getting stiff and weak as a result. So I'm pleased to be doing SS and making strong gains. I started a log too, because I thought I was in for a long recovery haul, but after only a week I'm already beginning to feel like my old (young) self again and my recovery goals look a bit cautious so I'm going to aim a bit higher. Funny how age 'programs' us to assume a longer recovery, or a lesser ability, but the truth is it's all in the mind.
