knees and horses

An hour on the heavy bags at the academy yesterday afternoon and today my knees are all scrapped up and very sore!! The outside of the biggest bag is rough and managed to rip up my knees. It hurts like hell to kick it as well! I spent last night in a somewhat uncomfortable state, not wanting to let the duvet hit the knees. I think I might have to find some polysporin, and ask Kruu if this is normal until your legs get used to the abuse.


I'm watching CBC and the Sunday show - the topic right now is using horses for therapy. I can see how that can work. I think back to my times at the Double E. Strangely enough, I got an email from Chad yesterday and we've decided we need to book another trip to EE next summer. I think I'll go for 2 weeks this time, plenty of time to chill out, enjoy the Ranch and get rid of the stresses that I know are going to weight hugely on my mind but that point in the year. I'll have to email Debbie and put in my reservation now. :)
