Keep at it Dan, feels good being lighter doesn't it?

oj this may be healing of some kind (or even just the joints getting used to the impact of running again), but it's definitely not an excuse to stop. I'm just taking enough time to let my hips and knees recover a bit. I'm on my feet all day at work, if I can't walk I can't work. No work = I'm screwed big time, I can't jeopardize that so I'm not pushing it. Gonna go back to the stationary bike and work in some smaller jaunts on the treadmill once a week or so to see how I handle it. I feel better than I have in years, no way I'm stopping now. I'm still learning what I can and can't do, this is just a minor setback. Still blows though, I was starting to hum along pretty good.

I secrewd up on Saturday afternoon. I was doing weights and was working my bi and back when I decided to do some clean presses. I knew I couldnt do a traditional clean press so I just used a 30 pound barbell. I was doing well untill I started to fatigue a bit and hyperextended my pack on a press....been limping since...4 sets it too many...3 sets is fine...still finding what I can and cant do, just sucks when I find out what I cant.

Amen to that. The only way to find out is to try. At least you were taking it easy enough that you aren't totally out of commission for awhile. Rest up, get better, than get back to it Joe. Old men like us have to be careful. Wishing a speedy recovery to you.

I'm going to go in tonight and play it by ear, if I have to scale down or cut out the cardio and the leg workouts for a bit longer than that's what I have to do. In the mean time it's my day off so I'm doing as little as I can get away with and soak in a hot bath for awhile.

I wasn't trying to push, prod or poke. You know what you are doing and how to go about it. I was just thinking of all the guys i know that use the same aches and pains that you are going thru as an excuse for not working out at all.

I see myself in that statement... Kinda..
My "workout" today drenched my shirt, made me breathless and my grip was going away... Grinding side irons..
Maybe not enough? But dang! Kicked my hiney...

<Raises hand> All is good my friend. I was guilty of it for many years and can completely understand. Exercising is supposed to be good for arthritis, that's why I was agreeing with you about the healing part. The trick is finding the sweet spot between doing enough to get results and hobbling around for days. If you don't look for that line you're never going to find it. It took a long time to realize that line is much much lower than I'd like to admit.

Exercise is where you find it Bob!

I became allergic to cameras after I porked up, so there are very few pictures of me in the last several years.
