5264 Steps/ 2.16 Miles

Not great at all, but today was my study day. I didn't leave the house at all except to walk. I guess this will bring down my average, but I've just started this 10,000 steps a day thing. So I'm just going to have to work up to it.

Reading for Tuesday 9th October

31,322 steps, 11.61 miles

almost all done in the most horrible torrential rain.

Today-
Briskly Walking at Park..

Total : 5,006 steps - 3.7 ml - 131 cals burned - 44 mins

Its a "Charley Horse" Tx ... used to get them all the time ..
they suck ass and hurt like hell .. you almost can't walk at all ..but they are easy to fix ...

directions:

On both sides of your right or left leg (the one with the Charlie knot) put your RIGHT and LEFT hands, the balls of your hands, the harder part on both sides of your leg. Make fists. Slowly manouver your hands ..make circle motions into your leg around the knot. I forget which way, but you will figure it out. Because when your twisting the knot ..you get little knee jerks and its hurts like a bastard ..but if you quickly move your palms backwards I think it is ...and keep pushing in ...in a little and big circular motion ..it will untie the not ..and it will feel like nothing ever happened...

your leg might be weak at first, but the knot will be worked out and slowly walk around for a day ..no huge steps ..

thats the fix!

and by the way .. everytime I would stretch out of bed ..my balls of my feet would go all the way down ... my foot would retract and a knot would form and I would thrust my body up and just start undoing the knot ...but that was after I would scream ... ugh ..
and than in school ..I was so tense ... I would sit at the caf eating in high school and I would suddenly get one or two and not be able to walk .. I was late for class all the time ...lol because I would have to sit there ..while other people left and massage the outside of my leg ..and than it was weak ..so my steps were slow ..very slow ... dont over work it after you get the knot out ..walk slow and deliberate and it won't come back ...

best wishes
I am thinking about getting a pedometer ..hmm

always
love yas

Great job Margaret!

Natalie Jo:

Hi ya..

Nope, it wasn't that..I've had those before..

It was a pulled muscle..It's almost healed now.. It took a lot of aspercream/heated massages/wrappin' up/ and care to get it well..lol

Oh and Ibuprofen for the terrible swelling..

It's a very small knot now with no swelling.. Hope it'll be gone soon!
I'm no longer in pain w/it though so that's good.
