Today, I start back in my basement gym, or "dungeon" after what has turned into a several-months long layoff. Great care will be taken, as the shoulders, elbows and connective tissues just aren't as resilient as they used to be.
At 52 years old, I'm well aware that this may be my last run. There have been several times in my adult life where I have gone, from a fitness and strength standpoint, from "Homer Simpson" to "not too shabby" and back again.
Each time gets a little harder and each time, more attention has to be paid to avoiding injuries. My plan this go-round is to focus on patience, persistence and longevity. As they say, "slow and steady wins the race". Time will tell if I can follow my own advice.
