Ice 20 minutes on, 40 minutes off. Repeat 6x to get the inflammation out. Do pain free stretching, massage and compress it, if you can. After 24 hours soak in Epsom salt bath.

Would be nice to do all that, but in reality it was limp a mile home. Eat ice cream. Now sleep. Get up for a two mile bike ride at 730 am and work a full day moving furniture up and down stairs added to carrying and throwing heavy ass garbage bags. After work itās 3 more bike miles to a meeting.

Well, if you canāt make time for yourself, I guess you live with the consequences. 
I have a very high pain tolerance and an even higher stubbornness. This is the same guy who refused to go to the doctor when I broke my ankle in February and contuined to walk miles dailyā¦ I know you medical types are always looking for new patients, but youāll never catch me hehehe

You go right ahead and walk yourself into the ground. Iām okay with it.
Took me some time to accept that my patients will either want to be fixed or they wonāt.

At least I save doctors the trouble of having another patient not listen to them. When I was lawyering my favorite clients were the ones I never had.

Haha! I enjoy working on people. Even if they donāt want it.
Btw, @Englishd and @DungeonMaster in case u guys hadnt figured it out already Iām the random add u got last night. D, I took ur and stevieās advice and started walking after the withdraws eased off a bit and Iād been using mapmyrun but I keep seeing big discrepancies bw it and samsung health so I finally downloaded strava last night. Tried to import some stuff from mmr but the abominations that went through are way off and the maps make it look like Iāve been creeping through peopleās back yards lol

I figured it was someone from the thread. Yeah, unfortunately GPS is never perfectly accurate. Especially Samsung Health! If it auto-tracks your walking/runs, it is horrible. Iāll run 5 miles, but it will only account for 3 1/2. It works just fine if you record the run with GPS on SH, but Iām already using Strava and NikeRunning. Thatād be one too many.
Strava does link to Samsung Health though. It should automatically save your activity and load it on the step counter. It wonāt double count either.
Yeah, thatās the issue with s health, itās always off by miles lol, and since I linked mmr it double counts everything.
I havenāt had it double count for Strava.
Cool, I do like s health tho, have been using it to track calorie intake and water/caffeine consumptionā¦glad to know itāll link w strava and not double count cuz that was getting annoying. Im using the weight management setting on s health and trying to stay under even what it suggests for calorie intake in a day to lose weight and I kept getting messages from it saying I was 2000 or more calories under what my daily intake should be lol

Thatās strange. Iāve used S Health to track calories before. I think I like Calorie Counter: My Fitness Pal better. MFP links to Strava as well. I think you get better statistics with MFP than with S Health.
Cool, Iāll hafta check that out too, im a sucker for a better app lol. I hadnt ever really paid much attention to what I ate cuz I never ate much, most of my calories came from a can, but i knew when I quit drinking Iād lose weight so I figured along with exercising more Iād track my diet too. Then I got a new phone and s health was on it ready to go so Iāve just been rolling with it.

Some sumbitch stole my kom by 4 sec yesterday. I thought id try to get it back tonight, but failed. I was a sec short of tying him. Its only a 39 sec kom on a flat little section, so its a hard one for me to get, but f that dude, im going to get it back.

Iām trying to find a seldomly used segment to get KOM. I think I got fourth on one recently, but was still pretty far away from the top

Iāve loved in areas where I could dominate segments. Now there are a bunch of elite runners around here that smash my times.
Yeah, im definitely not one of the faster giys around here, but I usually know most of the elite racers and i dont know who this guy is. I only had 3 koms, and now 2. But all of them are pretty easily beatable, except for my 1 sprint komā¦but it is what it is.
Im just curious who the guy is, so ill ask a riding buddy who apparently knows him.
