My first entry is based on a question I have about a particular client of mine, Question: is residual pain from your workout a good thing or bad? ok we've all had really great workouts where we feel like we can go on forever in the gym, nothing hurts and we're in such good form we should be teaching others how we do it so well. but the 2 or 3 days that follow that work out are filled with a burning and ache which I've come to enjoy and actually look forward to. telling me that boy I done good, too bad I can't reach my head to comb my hair.
I know that in a few days that pain will pass until my next visit to the gym if I'm lucky. which brings me to patient #1 Male 33 years old, 5' 9" tall 180ish lbs, lean muscular build, avid triathlete and in my opinion in fantastic shape, client 1 trains 6x a week run, bike, swim, and is in a constant state of tension and sorness, which he believes is a bad thing creating limited range of motion and just an all around feeling of ache.
after our 1 hour sessions, he feels instant relief lasting for 3 to 4 days, but nothing holding longer than that.
my belief, revel in the ache, you've reached a point where your time working out is reflected in how you feel, and you should take pride in a job well done?
Could it be that patient #1 is more than just you average athlete and should consider himself a contender, or even semi pro?

The Massage shoe of choice
It goes without saying, I am on my feet alot my average work schedule is usually 7 hours straight through. so you can guess my feet do take a beating. but honestly my feet are completely comfortable all the time, and I have to contribute it to the shoes. my two most important criteria for shoes, quiet and comfort and with these shoes they really do the trick, thank you Asics!!!!
