20th August. What Doesn't Kill You Makes You Stronger?

Still in the recovery phase from the so called Middle distance Triathlon, if anything I'd say the effect on the knees has been one of strengthening rather than ruination.

Of course I put that down to Dr Oetker's running method which means lightweight shoes with zero shock absorption and no heels.

The same cannot be said of the calf muscles which received the workout of their life.

I hear Slim Boy Fat is seeking medical advice for one of his knees in preparation for that Ben Nevis Nonsense but still adheres to the conventional cushioned sole and refuses to accept the wisdom of Dr Oetker.

By his description it sounds very like one of Mother's knees but he still has approximately 35 years before the NHS can put one patella in the bin and araldite a proper stainless replacement joint in.
