If you grew up in the “walk it off” era, summer is basically your body’s annual revenge tour.
Gardening for 6 hours.
Sleeping on camping mattresses.
Hauling coolers around.
Sitting weird in lawn chairs.
Driving forever.
Pretending your neck isn’t locked up.
By August your body starts filing formal complaints.
This is your reminder that you do not need to wait until things become unbearable before taking care of yourself.
