beach and yard work
i try to maintain total body flexibility and range of motion in a functional strength context all year long.
i do. i really do.
then comes actual work.
and it's only light yard work: raking and shoveling rocks; cutting and dragging brush; moving and stacking wood.
just cleaning up after winter.
i feel like someone has beaten me all over with a stick.

maybe it's just cause i'm old.

Yup, I helped a neighbor out. She had to split two shrubs.... had to use a pic axe to split it..... was sore the next day just from that.
