Had a few good workouts, a few walks in the pool and a lot of physiotherapy on my knee.
It's sucky, but stress levels are up there. I'm glad that things are going to get back to normal, at least at some point. Maybe soon, I'm not sure.

Not much to report. Well, a little.

Aug 17 to 21
I'm most interested in finishing off this season on a positive note, but ending it would be in the best interests of my knees and hip. There were two nights I got to the pool to walk and hot tub.
It's not like I have some ligament snapped or devastating injury. They just ache and wake me up at night. I'd rather just heal and then get back to regular training and get ready for next year.
In any case, lots of stretching and rolling and light lifting in the mornings these days. No contact rugby, thanks to a puffy knee. Just rugby on Saturday, Aug 19th. Played in two games, too.
I'm pretty sure I hit all my throws and won all my scrums. Stole and got close to stealing at least two in both games.
I was tired at the end of the day, man. I was bone tired and covered in ice. It was the annual luau at my club and I just kinda sat and enjoyed watching the CRC on the huge screen in my clubhouse for a while.
Sunday and Monday were both recovery days - ice on my knee and lots of Advil. Monday also saw me do this:

Monday July 10 - Aug 16
I've been negligent.
I've been out of my elements for the last four or so weeks, and a lot has been sliding around me, including this blog.
Fact are that I've been doing the bare minimum and getting the same as results. I have been wondering about what to do next, how best to help myself, my family and the community around me.
Those first two have been sorely neglected in the last two years.
I am searching and wondering why that focus changed. I have not yet decided on a conclusion or solution.
I am still writing about it, I am still discussing it with my support people. I am wondering about my knees and if they are the thing that would cause me to give up on fitness.
What a shame that might turn out to be.
I have started back to daily morning rolling and stretching and feel much better after. I can't say I'm back to being 100%, but I'll take being able to get up and down stairs without holding on to the rail for starts.
I'll get back to it; I have to.
