“Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.

Skipped deadlift day because I twisted my knee slipping on the ice walking down the road to the mail box sunday evening.
Knee is still sore, so I did another press day.

Bugger. Hope it comes good quick! You can never have too many press days. Particularly when they're replacing deadlift days!

Knee is still "loose", and it is painful if I stretch the leg. But it held up good during the squatting, so I'll pretend everything is all right.

Glad the knee is hanging on

Thanks Justin. I hope you and your family is doing well!

Odd how loading the knees heavily with a properly executed movement usually makes it feel better! Good it's holding up!

Very controlled movements loading the knees seems to work just fine for my knees.
Crap happens when I walk down icy roads in the freezing cold.

But hey, only four or five months of winter, and then spring time is here!

I was still running the pellet stove a little bit until July 6th last "summer".
To be fair though, the snow and ice were long gone by then.

Usually I change to summer tires in the beginning of May.
Last year I waited a bit, for no reason.
We had the last winter storm of the year on the eleventh of May.



Must be the global warming, right?
