COVID IS NOT THE FLU.

Rest in peace Big Buddy.

I feel great lately. Its summer & I am still in Nelson hiding from COVID. Auckland will get the Omicron strain soon so I am happy to continue my stay here.

Things did get boring over the winter which was cold & wet but I did forest hikes & kept up my gym work. In Auckland the gyms were shut for 4 months.

Isometrics has made me stronger while protecting my joints. I also started regular running again after about 15+ years.

On top of the cardio & isometrics I have been regularly doing Hippensteel stretching.

I have also been taking Deer Antler Velvet & 4000iu of Vitamin D daily on top of regular supps including the fucoidan

Nelson in summer is resplendent. Very nice for hiking, beach & alpine activities.
