Hi Phil —Thank you for your reply.Your first paragraph nails the experience of a little bit of labor demanding a hugh price.  For me it takes the following day to recover.My main exercise is a short jaunt on my recumbent tricycle. And now that the pool is closed , that’s what I do for my lower bodyl . But my arms and shoulders need special attention so I rigged up a set of rubber tubes for my upper body.  And I try (sic) to alternate between the trike and tubes. The major problem is not just my age. I have had for decades an ever increasing inflamation in spine from neck to lumbar (stenosis). That doesn’t effect my back so much as my legs. Four tramadol spaced between sunup and sundown actually works quite well.
	But I have achieved the habit of writing and have completed two novels and one trade book. That’s easy compared to getting published  wich is entitrely  another matter. Self publishing?  Done that. It only means YOU pay for it


Pace, Phil
