Note to self: exercise more

I went snorkeling yesterday with Steve and am a bit sore today (not too bad, but sore). Brings to mind the line in The First $20 million is always the hardest, when Tiny replies "atrophy is winning".  Jogged only twice this last week, plus sitting at a desk the majority of my waking hours probably doesn't help..

We went to Stage Fort Park in Gloucester, which turned out to be a pretty good site yesterday, due to the waters there being inside the breakwater on Gloucester Harbor it was pretty smooth.  We looked at Marblehead first, but it was too rough due to the storm coming up the coast. 

Steve saw several lobsters and caught one that was big enough to keep, but he threw it back.  I saw several crabs, lots of starfish and some little fish.  Since I had a wetsuit, gloves and a hood on the water was fine, couldn't tell it was in the 60 degree range (the cold water is one reason I hadn't been in the water for years).  I think the last time I was diving it was in a stone quarry in Indiana and the water was around 80 degrees (cerca 1995).

Got to make exercise a regular habit in order to gain some ground against atrophy ....
