With the day off work, I went with Andrew to play basketball, probably my favorite form of cross training. It was very enjoyable. Early on my right knee nearly gave out a few times when I tried to start running, but whatever it was went away and I was able to play fine...well as fine as I ever do as a 54 year old 5'7" guy who doesn't play very often. I can't really play the old card at basketball, however. I found out that one of the guys just turned 62. He is still quick and strong and plays very well. I always assumed he was younger than me. I'm encouraged. I'm hopeful I can still be in good shape when I'm in my 60's and beyond.
