I have a feeling that for this upcoming ride I’ll be the weak link. I managed to get through four days of the Mojave ride, but just barely. I made it home then went to the orthopedist right away. The xrays showed that I have calcified tendonitis in my shoulder. So I got a steroid [...]
I said that to Bo a lot today. It was funny, kind of like the song “Jimmy Crack Corn”….only it was more like “I know you wanna go faster and I don’t care…you wanna go faster, and I don’t care…we ain’t gonna go faster…so there! (because I do care) Not that there isn’t anything wrong [...]
Well, it looks like so far about six of us that went to the GRD ride have come down with it. IT being the dang Swine Flu!
Here is more info from the CDC about the H1N1 virus. It’s really going around. I know a lot of people that have it now, or have already had [...]
Caffeine Reverses Memory Impairment.
Back-to-back studies published online July 6 in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, show caffeine significantly decreased abnormal levels of the protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease, both in the brains and in the blood of mice exhibiting symptoms of the disease. Both studies build upon previous research by the Florida ADRC group showing [...]
I just read an interesting blog post at the NY Times called “Can You Get Fit in Six Minutes a Week?”
Can humans increase endurance with only a few minutes of strenuous exercise, instead of hours? Could it be that most of us are spending more time than we need to trying to get fit? [...]
Carla recently posted the link to this article on coffee and caffeine on Ridecamp. I am not a coffee person, but do drink tea. I will drink coffee but rarely. I drink tea every day usually green tea though I also like Earl Gray and some others. I thought the article was interesting, especially this [...]
I went to the store to pick up some new cold medicine. Figuring that maybe taking stuff that expired in 1990 might not be such a good idea. Ya think? I found myself in an aisle of stuff that just made my head swim.
To make it even worse, the aisle was filled with coughing, [...]
Okay, not really—and I’m not going to start chanting the lyrics of a Def Leppard song either! Actually, I read an interesting blog post about sugar and all of the health problems it can cause. It is at the Food Journal, and can be found at this link. Sugar isn’t all bad, but it is [...]
The weather has been absolutely delightful this week. I decided to take Bo out for a trail ride. I haven’t ridden him with a saddle on the trail on a real ride (we have gone out bareback for walk/rides with the dogs) for several months. Today I was able to take Bo out on trails [...]
Today was a busy day. It started with an appointment to the chiropractor. I should have gone sooner – turns out that I had a rib out of place and that is what was causing the severe pain in my upper back. What a relief! Obviously that happened when I had my unscheduled not so [...]
It’s great being able to vote early – here is a photo of my “I Voted Today” sticker. Now it’s done with and I can totally zone out on the media right now, yahoo!
Google has a neat feature with Google Maps – if you go to this link and put in your address it will [...]
Or maybe it is funny, this look of deer in the headlights look that I have after riding 50 miles last Sunday. Eeeeeeek—just WHO is that person staring back at me in the mirror???? I feel kind of like a snail that got ran over by the bus. So much for bouncing back – I [...]
