My exercise miles over the past year…

Like George Bush, I was too early to report ‘Mission Accomplished‘ back in September. By not being mindful around stretching before vigorous walking and biking I learned earlier this month that I actually tore my meniscus.

Apparently Aesop was right; “slow and steady” wins the race — especially as I approach my 55th year. Lesson learned?
