The big outing

Facing knee surgery on the horizon, today was all about soaking up the great outdoors—or at least escaping the confines of the house. It’s not my knee on the chopping block, but I’ve volunteered as tribute to be the makeshift “male nurse” for this knee saga. Sounds heroic, doesn’t it? Hence, today was a mixed bag of a training session—part physical hustle, part strategic planning. The agenda? Recycle like eco-warriors, hit the shops like it’s Black Friday, cycle like we’re prepping for the Tour de France, and then, the grand finale, crack open a cold one. Because, let’s be honest, all heroic quests end with a beer.
