Knees--

The last bootcamp was a mistake in retrospect. My knees are currently in various states of disrepair and make odd crunching and cracking sounds when I move. Saying that - the difference in not having run on them for a week is very noticeable so I have hopes that it's a temporary blip. As I'm currently in California for work I'm keeping the body moving my stretching my quads and hamstrings and walking the 3 miles to and from work.

Next week we'll see where we stand and either continue Bootcamp or find something lower impact. Either way I think I need to do some more strength work to build some support up there.

The other cloud on the horizon is wondering whether I'll even have a job to take time off from next April. But that's a whole other story...

Knees

After a month and a half of bootcamp there is mixed news to report. First up I've lost about 8 kilos in weight. So now I only need to lose another 12 more to be carrying the minimum surplus spare tyre up the hill. Tempered with that is the fact that my knees are making odd crunching and popping noises when I move.

I'm in California next week so hopefully a little rest will help then. Plus I still have my old knee supports from back when football regularly left me hobbling about plus Ibuleve and Tiger Balm. Once I've mummified my knees in that it should all magically get better.... or I'm going to be raising money for some plastic kneecaps ;-)

The other thing that might help is my monkey feet (aka Vibram Five Fingers) which serve the dual purpose of making me use the muscles evolution intended to walk and run but also allows me to weird Damion out by stroking him with them.
