This and that

Shocking - Mat Gamel is out for the year.  Who could have predicted he would injure himself. Well, there is always next year!

WORST HEADLINE IN HISTORY


The Wisconsin State Journal had a bottom of the page headline.

Murder charge stalls Pistorius' career.

How about 

Murder stalls Steenkamp's life. 

Who gives a rats ass about Pistorius's career.  He shot Steenkamp four times through a locked bathroom door.  He claims he thought it was a robber?  What, was the robber taking a dump?  "Sorry man, I really gotta go".   

Then the article goes on and says that all future races have been canceled!   sigh,

I have a new post about why Columbus need a change in vision or perhaps just HAVING vision.   MelotteforCityCouncil.org 

-------------------------------------

I'm stalling - nothing to say.  I AM going to the CC meeting tonight with a question.  More on that tomorrow . . about how children in Columbus are not allowed to ride bicycles . . . anywhere. 

I was going to talk about DOMS as I'm now suffering through it from Day 2 of Extreme Monkey Bar Gym workout.  My quads are particularly sore today.  Not sure why those took the beating.

DOMS is Delayed onset muscle soreness and is one symptom of exercise-induced muscle damage. It's caused by eccentric (lengthening) contractions of the muscle. It's pretty common and is a normal response to unusual exertion and is part of an adaptation process that leads to greater stamina and strength as the muscles recover and build hypertrophy**.

**a term for the growth and increase of the size of muscle cells.

DOMS normally, is at it's worst within the first 2 days following a new, intense activity and slowly subsides over the next few days . . . unless you do it all again on day three!!

DOMS is a result of microscopic tearing of the muscle fibers which I believe, my quads are now just a bunch of hanging fibers.

There is not much you can do with DOMS but wait it out.  It's actually not a BAD pain to have.  One thing that does seem to help is called "Active Recovery, a low-intensity exercise after an intense workout.  Maybe jumping rope?   I'll do that next time.

I tell ya - day two was as intense and I love it.

this is what it looks like! A freaking lot of fun!!
