I am again blogging on my phone. After trying all week to get myself to blog when I get home from work, and failing, I have come to realize I am just too tired and its not going to happen.
Ive had a hard time sleeping this week and have worked late alot, so I am exhausted. Thus, you may see a lot more phone blogging so I reach my daily blog goal.
With my foot starting to heal, but not there yet Ive been working on some other goals too, working out daily again. I am now at a point I can handle a short, level ground slow walk at lunch.
I also decided since I still cant do my traditional work outs, which involved a lot of jumping, running, and standing qith weights, to re work my workout to a primarily legless one, in that my leg and ab stuff now involves a lot of bycicle crunches and similar.
I am also working more on arm strenghth and starting to work on flexibility.
Making these adaptations reminds me of the great athletes of the paraolympics. I really havent watched much paraolympics, but what I have seen is pretty amazing.
This summer we will all have a chance to see one paraolympic athlete cross over, to just the Olympics.
There is a runner, nicknamed "the blade runner" who has qualified for the olympics in track. He doesnt have legs, he runs on medal blades.
Watch for him. And be ready for the controversy already brewing, are his blades, his not having legs, is this an advantage or a disadvantage, or is it as I propose both, and therefore neither, just different.
With added benifits, and added challenges, therefore in my opinion, fair. If it werent, every runner would chop off their legs and start running on blades.
