Pleasant walk in +4 weather to the local shopping centre to watch the shoppers scurry around at the last minute. The roads are a slushy mess and there is too much snow to enjoy the valley trails. Never seen so much snow in TO at this time of year.

Short walk to the grocery store here in TO for last minute goodies. No time for stretching, just drinking and eating. : )

Almost turned around after 10 minutes as the leg was cramping and hip was aching. Stopped for a while, stretched and pushed on. Eventually the leg loosened up and I limped around the 5 km loop.
Felt good to put in a longer session. Good stretch afterwards.

Another poor night's sleep. Low energy. Went for a short walk but can hardly call it exercise. Eating too many Xmas goodies. Flung my bad shoulder getting out of Lynda's car. Very painful - but it released something in my upper back. Now I'm sore but some flexibility has returned to the area. All body (not necessarily bodily) functions are slowly getting weirder.
Lynda gave us one of her Stollen breads last night. Delicious! Can't keep my fingers off it. Hash tag -Iatetoomuch!

Easy first ski of the season. Hip was sore before I began so I took it easy.
So, not a lot of energy spent but good to see what the old ski muscles can handle. Conditions were very good. Skiis were fast.
Right now, the hip is throbbing but not too uncomfortable. Wine and Advil helps.

Cut walk short as both legs started complaining. Back is sore too. What a wreck. Did a lot of bending working around the house. Tree is done, all the floors are vacuumed, all the new door handles are installed.
