Enjoying the once again flowing hot air coming out of the baseboard heaters in my office Thank you oil company service tech!

Off to the orthopaedic doc to find out why my knee hurts

 

[severine]

Feeling awful. Counting the minutes til I can take a nap and hopefully sleep some of this off.

Leaving work soon..I was going to ski afterwork but I'm tired and not psyched about the wind and cold so I'll save my energy for Friday afternoon, Saturday morning and Sunday morning...I'm psyched about the PASR day at Blue this Saturday..

Oh yeah..going to the beer store to pick up some Long Trail blackberry wheat..I haven't had any in 2 whole weeks..my favorite beer..

Reminds me that I need to do my taxes soon..I'm home from work..taking out the garbage and cleaning my place..Long Trail Blackberry wheat is in the freezer..for fast coolness..I guess keeping them on my balconey would be equally affective..this is my last rest day before a 7-week skiing bender at Blue mountain to end the ski season..

Off to the orthopaedic doc to find out why my knee hurts

Back from the doc....good news, nothing really serious. Mild arthritis in both knees, more prevalent in the left knee, nothing that can't be compensated with a standard leg muscle building exercise program (hamstrings, quads and calf). Skiing on it won't make matters worse, but he said I should take it easy...no diamonds or moguls. If I don't start working on the muscles, he said I should expect the pain increase while skiing.

Off to the sign up at a gym at 6!

Sounds like nice cruising for a while for you Root, and that should leave you with extra energy to do a few more beer curls apres ski! :beer:

Right now I'm procrastinating doing my paperwork for the day

not specifically, any resistance exercise that has emphasis on the leg muscle groups.

So will you be at the Blue PASR day? I'll be happy to cruise lazy mile..with Razors closed for the PARA GS races..Challenge is gonna be a clusterf@ck..I'm really happy it's nothing serious. 3 seasons ago I fell hard on my shoulder/upper arm on Barneys Bumps but luckily the X-rays showed no bone damage..from the pain I thought I broke my arm..I skied 2 days and carrying my skis was so rough..Get on an eliptical machine.,or exercise bike to burn alot of acids out of your legs..then you can have more steezy vert days..
