Spinners are winners

I jumped on the static bike (cool name for exercise bike apparently) last night and did 60 mins of reps. That is 1 min easy (dial at 12 o'clock) then 1 min hard (cranked up to 3 o'clock). I picked up this session from a tri mag in Andy the Pod's Rooms. I don’t know what the benefit of it is but after an hour I looked as if I had a bucket of water poured over me. Has be good for you then, right ? I'm still walking pain free but sense that I have an overall weakness in the left foot. I guess that would be expected at the moment but I notice that when walking that my right foot strike is far more dominant than the left. I'm thinking of going to see Larry the Physio at the end of next week. Maybe Larry can give me a set of exercises to strengthen the ligaments and/or muscles down that way. Something needs to be done as getting both shin splints and a stress fracture in the left leg only is no coincidence. There must be a muscular/skeletal imbalance or something. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joke of the Day ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Two women friends had gone out for a Girls Night Out, and had been decidedly over-enthusiastic on the cocktails. Incredibly pissed and walking home they suddenly realised they both needed to pee. They were very near a cemetery and one of them suggested they do their business behind a headstone or something. The first woman had nothing to wipe with so she took off her panties, used them and threw them away. Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't want to ruin hers, but was lucky enough to salvage a large ribbon from a wreath that was on a grave and proceeded to wipe herself with it. After finishing, they made their way home. The next day the first woman's very worried husband phones the other husband and said, "These damn girls nights out have got to stop. My wife came home last night without her panties." "That's nothing," said the other. "Mine came back with a card stuck in the crack of her butt that said, 'From the boys at the Fire Station. We'll never forget you!' Mood: ---> :)

Hi Gronk,
Sorry to hear about the stress #. Tom was amazed at your improvement/increase over the last year.
Hope you're running again soon.

Cheers, Andy

Laughing is a great way to deal with injuries Gronk. Very therapeutic! I know quite a few runners who've come back well from SF's - I'm sure you'll be back better than ever and using more red ink in that table.

Love it - if we can't be happy with our stupid bodies breaking down, at least we can still have a laugh
