August Workouts ~ Smoke

[Smoke]

Get a jump on the thread

[fish]

jumping is good exercise

[Smoke]

Leg & ankle are so so. Getting a little better.
Getting steps in so that’s something

[Smoke]

25 miles in steps this week... not bad with a bum leg!

[fish]

i am sorry to hear that you are working through pain/discomfort.

take care not to make your injury worse.

[Smoke]

Gonna be a long few months.
Been on ice for at least an hour, switching between ankle and hip.

[fish]

you should really try cold baths.

we agree that complete body hot baths don't work in shallow tubs

legs and ankle cold baths do.

start making freezer bags full of ice.

take full bags to the bathroom

sit in the empty tub

run cold water

when the water reaches your navel, you can stop.

put the bags into the water

do want very cold water

don't want ice cubes floating around

i admit that the jury is out on icing, but there is a lot of positive anecdotal evidence, and your pros are telling you to ice.

seems to help me

give it a try

can't hurt unless you get active before your legs warm back up.

the other thing is very gentle stretching when the leg and ankle are warm.

all complementary muscle groups to address imbalance, all range of motion, very gentle, very often.

this absolutely does help me.

Leg and ankle slowly getting better. Had Kid take a look at it she thinks it’s tendinitis as well... ice, rest. Says she might be able to workout the knot in my hip.
This is the gal that used to work for me.sges a message therapist now.

[fish]

she can probably give you some release points you can work on with a ball or roller. sometimes i use a kitchen rolling pin on my legs.

and then there is that ice bath we talked about.

ask her about that, too.

[Smoke]

Mowed, grass is really high and wet... was nice out today but so humid grass doesn’t dry out. Did about 1/3... see what tomorrow brings or next week.

[fish]

we have the largest mushrooms ever.

[Smoke]

Yea, I have a bunch at my house too.

[fish]

"one side makes you grow taller, and one side ..."

those were the days.



i grew up with these guys

[fish]

I linked to some music - Jefferson Airplane White Rabbit - but the link got eaten somehow.

The White Rabbit became White Space.

The airplane u tube listed some other oldies and I tried to link to them too, but same result.



Great music.

[Smoke]

I luv them... they always were changing their name though.
