Old Mother Nature is doing her thing again by sending winter on its way and bringing summer up to bat.
- The beaches will fill up again and my friends and I will be out in the sand playing ball again very soon.
I need to be careful with my knees this year though because the doctors told me I barely have any cartilage left. That means no more jumping when I play, and when I go for a run it needs to be in the soft sand, along with a very slow pace of running without any impact. My heating specialist friend runs with me before we work at the HVAC company, and she told me that if we run slow and I don’t have any pounding that my knees will be fine. I’m also doing more leg exercises to make my legs stronger so they support my knees better. The local business near me does therapy, and ever since I’ve been a heating and cooling tech, I have gone there for help. My knees feel better already and doing these leg exercises is really helping with my running too. I can still work on ductwork and heat pumps on the floor without my knees hurting, and taking these supplements from the local contractor are helping to heal some of the damage that was done to them over the years. I think I should be fine, but I am not going to play as much ball anymore so that I can focus on my music career, which seems to be taking off finally.
