For someone who's "ramping back" I'm still working pretty hard.

You may be "ramping back" but you have a plan, and that means that you are moving forward. Awesome!

You understand your sport and your body so well. You are in better condition than most men half your age and you will continue to have a wonderful time doing what you love. Supporting fellow athletes is so important. They need to know that they can be as good as you are when they are your age. They need mentors, so they look up to men like you. You probably have no idea how much they appreciate you. I'm sure they love having you around.

So, now it is time to have fun, just like you did the other day! We are never too old to play!

I am impressed! You are 'a fine figure of a man', as my Mom used to say, and I was totally blown away by the photo of you after you tossed that caber - you made it look like it was so easy - amazing!

Keep it up, Alan. We applaud your effort to continue doing it, especially when it is so hard; and we look forward to the new directions that you take.



Now...where can we find that foam roller that helped you? Would ten minutes would be better?... I think we all need it, I know I do!... Where does the line end...?
