I know, I was wondering why you weren't using it!

Hey, what happens if a Round guy try's to do Yoga? I mean, do you just roll around like a beach ball or what?

Downward Dog leaning...tipping...tipping...

Ahhhh!

You coming up to Eustis?

Can't make Eustis. Still, you'd be amazed how much difference a few strethces makes to you lower back, particularly hamstrings.

And yes, there are some exercises where I'm supposed to be lying on my back but manage to capsize!

I'll be leaving Sebring about Noon, I hope, be up there around 2pm. At least that storm in the Gulf is petering out and we shouldn't get any rain from that, but not much wind either. 5 is what I'm seeing on the forecasts.

Sailing without wind is like drinking non-alcoholic beer, or decafe coffee!

What's the point? But I'll bring extra, real, beer.

They had a Duck Dynasty episode about that. It was hard to watch...

Heck, I didn't even know they made camo tights

Its been an interesting couple of weeks as pain management specialists argue whether i have one leg 9mm shorter than the other and dicker over exercise options. What is great is simple exercises you would never believe could be effective which have so far greatly reduced my pain levels. The downside is, in a moment of madness, i sold my cat to an out of the blue caller and being boatless is driving me crazy.

I felt the same way and a little foolish that I had suffered for years: simple stretchs of my hamstring dramatically relieved my back pain.

Pretty soon you'll feel like shopping for a new boat!

it is a real puzzle making your way around chiropractors, physiotherapists and doctors just trying to sort the pain management issue before you strike an enlightened practitioner who can get to the source of the problem rather than dole out pills, or continually drain your wallet.

Don't forget to consider your bed... I just spent a week at the Buzzelli lifting Tornado hulls, raising and lowering a mast (although surprisingly light carbon beauty), and doing plenty of things that could have but DID NOT hurt my back. I came home and slept for ten hours (drove straight through to Toledo yesterday) and woke up with lumbar pain. Will not sleep on that mattress again - fortunately I have a sleep number mattress on the bed in the spare bedroom. I will be 60 in less than two weeks. Same applies for neck pain except it is the pillow - can make a huge difference. Finally, my experience is that sheets can make a huge difference in exacerbating tendinitis in elbows and shoulders. The smoother the better and vice versa; flannel is worst and satin is best.

I had a great sports massage therapist help me track my back issues and they were on time delay to major events...almost exactly two weeks after sailing a big event I would have an issue. The trick for me was to try to eliminate the idle time after those events - staying active immediately after has prevented the muscular knotting/spasm issues.

Are you saying you were inactive at some point. I don't believe it.

Well at 61 I'm getting back into cats with both a 16 and 14T Hobie. I must admit that getting dumped by the 16 in high winds left some marks. Regardless I'm training youth in residence to sail and crew. This seems like at good thing. One thing I can say is I no longer long for heavy winds.

There have been a few days where mobility was not an option!
