Pool Work!

My knee still isn't feeling great even after a steroid shot so my Trainer had me do pool work today. I wasn't very excited about it, but it was better than nothing! 

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised--it was a pretty vigorous workout and completely impact free! My shoulders are sore, my legs are tired and I'm feeling that familiar soreness of a good work out! Which makes me happy.  There is nothing worse than having your momentum interupted which then gives you the perfect excuse to slack off...at least if you are me!

I've lived in Montana for 4 1/2 months now.  It's a beautiful state with alot of farmers and ranchers...cowboy hats are not uncommon, along with big belt buckles and some amazing cowboy boots!  Silver and sparklies abound for the ladies, there's also lots of silver, bars and little casinos --LOTS of them! The shopping is good, it's cheaper to live here and Montanans are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

Today however, while we were out and about running errands, we came across something I have never seen...
You gotta love it!

It's Hell Getting Old

I had my second steroid shot today in my knee.  It's my second in two years.  Maybe at 51        I need to do something besides running, something that is not quite so hard on the body. 


My problem? I love that runners high!  Plus, as a person that suffers from Early Onset Alzheimers Disease vigorous exercise is one of the most beneficial exercizes you can do.  Now, yes there are plenty of different types of exercise, that's just the one that happens to makes me feel good.  My trainer wants me to try swimming...other than the occasional dip in a pool I haven't actually done alot of swimming in the last decade. So this could be interesting. I let you know how it goes, assuming I survive.
