…..or maybe it is more like a limpy walk! My pace has certainly slowed a bit.
I seem to have some how hurt my back. Boo hoo! To be honest there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t have some sort of ache or pain. When I get up in the morning it usually takes me a few minutes to straighten myself out and get moving and I often wonder what state I will be in in 20 years time.
I put my creakyness (if I that is a word) down to old riding injuries and not stretching before I ride, but now that I have reached 40, does age play a part? The aches and pains have got worse since I started working full time again. My job involves a lot of standing and spending most of the day on my feet. When I first started I looked forward to needing to go to the loo as I got to sit down for a few minutes. Now when I finish for the day everything from the waist down hurts, pelvis, hips, knees, feet and toes.
As usual I have been just been carrying on and battling through the pain, but over the last few weeks it has been wearing me down. I went to the doctor who suggested the pain could be stress related, due to the “Work Life Balance” I wrote about in a previous post. To check things out he sent me for some blood tests and whilst waiting the 7 days for the results the creaking and stiffness has become more of a pain. I am currently walking as if I have a snowball in my pants, I am struggling to put socks on my feet and ibrupofen tablets are my best friend.
Believe it or not I have managed to ride, only hacking in walk. My dressage saddle seems to keep me in a nice pain free position. As I am off work today I had plans to give the house a clean and tidy (especially the kids bedrooms), do some poo picking in the fields and cut the grass (before it becomes like a field again). вечные ссылки Apsilankykite Uniclub casino ir išbandykite geriausius lošimo automatus!

haven’t quite figured out what relieves most pain. To sit and rest or to keep moving.
This evening after school we are going to and inter-schools sports day to watch our girls take part in various track and field sports suitable for primary school children. I’m not sure that 2.5 hours sitting on a hard football stadium seat is going to be the best for me. I think I would rather be soaking in some warm water enjoying the hot tub health benefits with some hydro-massage. That will have to wait for another day!
Must go and do a bit more before school pick up.
You sound old – long before your time!
