Muscle Rehab

Apparently my friend's dog has appointed himself our personal trainer. 😂

A little fresh air, a nice walk, and suddenly we're doing hill repeats.

The dog is thrilled. The humans are questioning their life choices.

And our leg muscles? They're definitely counting this as a workout.

Who needs a gym when your friend's dog has absolutely no respect for your fitness level?

Hockey season is BACK! 🏒

There's something about a sport where people voluntarily strap sharp blades to their feet, chase a little black puck around and occasionally slam into each other that makes for some pretty entertaining television. 😂

But behind all those goals, hits and incredible plays are athletes putting in an enormous amount of work. Training, conditioning, early mornings, late nights and all the things we don't necessarily see when we're cheering from the stands.

And when the skates come off, the work doesn't magically stop.

We're proud to be part of the recovery conversation for hockey players, whether they're playing professionally, competing in local leagues or just getting together with friends because they love the game.

Here's to another season of great hockey, healthy players and hopefully fewer trips to the penalty box.

Proud to support the players. On the ice and off.

I don't know about you, but watching a bath bomb fizz is oddly satisfying. 😂

And getting into the tub afterward? Even better.

Sometimes the simplest things are the best things. 🛁

Apparently Texas has decided it's fall.
And by fall, I mean it cooled off about five degrees. 😂
Thank goodness. I was getting worried I might actually have to stop complaining about the heat.
Here's the thing. Running is still hard. Working out is still hard. Moving your body when it's hot outside is still hard. And I don't care how long I've been doing this, there are days when the heat just makes everything feel approximately 47% more difficult.
That's a completely scientific number I just made up.
I keep waiting for that magical point where running gets easier.
It has not arrived.
What has arrived is the understanding that if I'm going to keep asking my body to do this stuff, I probably need to take care of it afterward.
So yes, Texas. Thank you for the five degrees.
I'm sure sweaters are right around the corner.

I am not always great at listening to my body. I can talk myself into one more mile, one more workout, one more thing on the list because I'm fine.

And sometimes I am.

And sometimes my body is saying, Debra, would you PLEASE sit down.

I'm getting better at knowing the difference.

I still believe movement is important. I still believe being strong matters. But I also know there are days when the best thing I can do is stretch, take a hot bath, go to bed early or just sit my butt down.

That last one remains a work in progress. 😂

Not every post needs a deep message.

Sometimes you make something, look at it and think… Well, that’s pretty cool. 💦

So here you go.

No lesson. No inspirational quote. No 5 steps to becoming a better human.

Carry on. 😂
