More post-rogaine musings...
I'm still sleepy today, with some stiff muscles and no desire to walk too far. My sprained ankle is swollen and mildly painful, but the Active Ankle made it possible to trek for 24 hours. At one point, I nearly wrenched it seriously, and I felt the brace catch me from going over. If the ankle is ever going to heal completely, I'm going to need some real down time.
The only painful rogaine injury was yet another divot carved from the same knee that I injured in my swan dive while trail running with K/O last month, then re-injured at the Barebones O meet. I'm amazed there is any actual flesh left on that knee. On the bright side, this is the same knee that was so painful in September that I sometimes cried going down a set of stairs. I thought I might have to give up all sports, especially after an MRI that showed a couple of types of cartilage damage. But I don't have any of that kind of knee pain now, even after the rogaine. Yahoo.
I am regretting that I didn't re-apply sunscreen and lip balm more often in the rogaine. I always carry the stuff, darn it. Why don't I remember to use it? My lips are peeling - ouch.
I wish I could remember some of the silly songs my partner and I made up during the event - mostly extolling the many virtues of our team, "Tree Huggers Don't Get Lost". They kept us amused on the first day.
