A great day! I did not go into town. Most of the day was spent doing some sort of exercise, interspersed with relaxation, talking with Maria, computer work and contemplation. The day began at 2:00 A.M., with several hours of prayer and meditation. I began my exercising at around 6:30 and finished around 3:30, a combination of free weights, calisthenics and exercise machines. I have been pushing pretty hard to increase my exercising and stamina. Not bad considering where I started. Admittedly, it has been twenty-four years of slow progress and determination. I recall in P.T. in ‘88, I was learning to crawl and tried to get on a stair-stepper but just crumpled to the floor, unable to hold myself up or perform the necessary movements. I started my exercise program with 0.3 miles on an exercise bike, with no resistance. I also recall the dr. warning me, very seriously, that my ability to exercise would be limited by atrophied muscles.
