H0z - don’t be too jealous! It will most likely be a nothing weekend!!

DRC did you get strengthening exercises from the physio with the bands??

I should send you a scan copy of my exercises, they are very gentle but seem to work whenever I remember to do them.

They will be now where near as high impact as you everyday life is!

Should apologise in advance just having a bit of a rant as I’m feeling particularly crappy today and feel like I’m going backwards again!

The funny/annoying thing is it’s actually the opposite shoulder to the one that usually gives me all the trouble.

I quit the gym (lifting weights) a couple of months back now and have been training lots of body weight/gymnastic style movements since which should have been strengthening joints.

This problem with my left shoulder has come out of no where all I’ve done the past couple of weeks exercise wise is a couple of gentle swims, bike ride and cough 24/7.

There’s a notable grind and clunk in the left shoulder joint now which is quite disconcerting and at it’s worst it makes things like brushing my teeth difficult when it get’s pinchy. I’m itching to get back to some level of fitness but man flu + dicky shoulder is proving problematic.

I have a tough mudder style event in under a month as well, not a great build up!

I’m sure your not the only one h0z.
Even without any plans for my first trip I find myself keeping an eye on things.

Not excited yet until I know the date for my first slide. Once the lifts are turning and runs are open I’ll get antsi and start looking for stuff to take to the pawn shop. wink AND to groom the summer wax, buy some new pants. My only hurdle is lift pass costs (and wanting to get my68vw back on the road).

A workmate has a season pass for P but lost her license over summer. We have worked out that if we leave after Saturday’s shift (2:30am) we can make first lifts Sunday, drive back Sunday eve so she can go to her other job Monday morn. She may have to take some sick leave on Mondays if the snow is good.
Again this age difference thing has stumped me - she’s to young for romance (I think).
