Totally OT: Downhill skiing over 70

I am recovering from a really bad year. In July 2023 I had RSV and it took until January of 2024 before I could walk a 100 yards without being winded. In addition I was suffering from sever depression. Between not being able to breath and not wanting to do anything my health deteriorated substantially. I ended up in the emergency room twice in early 2024 mostly from dehydration.

But the shrinks found the right combination of meds in late 2023 and 2024 turned out much better. In late 2024 I started rebuilding my body. My medical doctor started me on testosterone and I started working out on Cross-fit. It has not been smooth. I have had to lay off for at least 2 weeks twice to let my back get straightened out.

From 58 to 60 I did High Intensity interval training, but after laying off for 5 years and having a really bad year in 2023 I am taking a long time and discovering a lot of problems getting back into shape. There is a big difference between 58 and 65!
