Small millestone, I peddled 12 miles and paddled 5, (and can still move)

Hope I'm not jinxing myself..........A possible break from tendonitis that was everywhere at one time. I still physically exhausted myself though, but it felt good. Going to work the next day would have been a little rough, but do-able.

4 nights ago I peddled my road bike 12 miles. This was a test that started out as 6 miles, but I decided to take the risk since I would be off work for four days. My body would have normally tightened up two days after this distance really bad, limping ect. That did not happen this time.

I've had tendonitis of leg muscles on the hip end for many years. Physical Therapy failed every time. Only my elbow was sore from the narrow loop down road bike bars putting more weight on my arms/hands. (Mountain bikes or "flat bar" bikes dont do this, but put more weight on your "sit" bones.)

After going off ABX this winter, I have concentrated on methalation - specifically the liver methalation detox pathways. And - VERY aggressive trigger point release, on muscles and tendons daily! After months my left leg / hip has apparently slowly improved after thousands spent on Physical therapy at four different clinics in the past did nothing.

So then I paddled my solo canoe (much harder than kayaking) almost two miles a time for three afternoons. My shoulders feel no extra tightness, my wrists and elbows are tired, but that probably normal for anyone. I'm going to up the effort in trigger point releasing these areas as well.

I slept almost 10 hours last night, which is good considering I could only sleep an average of 3-4 hours a night for 20 years up to 2014.

Hope this trend continues. I'm still chicken to re-try houtynia tea for a Bart challenge. Unfortunately, I still have hand tremors when I go off a tremor med too (another use for Propanerolo).

congrats how long did it take you to get your energy back?

myeezy24 - "congrats how long did it take you to get your energy back?"

Hard to say. The 12 mile bike ride was pretty mellow Thursday night, (no sprinting), and I didnt use any energy stimulators like Red Bull. But, I was able to sleep in the last 3 mornings. I probably would have been back to the same energy level as the last month in only two days. But thats not my high energy level of the past, (I just yawned).

However, I went canoeing the following days. So I was very physically active three days in a row - that has been very difficult to do pain wise for at least 10 years, almost impossible as pain was for certain..

I still dont have a high energy level that I had in my competitive years. Instead, I just endure, steady even and forward, no pushing it. My Cd 57 levels were still in the 30's last Feb. Still tired just sittin around, but not lethargic anymore.

Wanted to do something today as well, but its raining, and probably best that I just sit around anyway while paying attention to my body.

My hand, wrist and left elbow seem to already be in recovery mode, this is unusual as I finished paddling 8 PM last night.

To top it off, I had five real beers the last two days! Thats the ultimate Candida test, no bloating. That said, I know I cant have any more for a while.

I went riding four miles in March and almost had to walk the last mile, it was weird I could hardly pedal, I could hardly stand. And in January I got major tendonitis from doing the breast stroke 6 times across a normal regulation length indoor pool. My body was very toxified during that time. I think swimming would still set me back- very hard on the shoulders.

Congratulations on your renewed energy and strength!

"small milestone"..... small you say??? that sounds pretty big to me...that's great, congratulations!! You must be so happy about that 'small' milestone.

Yes, I'm "happily" surprised. Almost skeptical beyond belief, like maybe I just had some weird lucky streak, (but it was three days in a row!).

I'll know its a "big milestone" after I've successfully repeated this same 12 mile bike ride several times without major pain after. That's the "data geek" shining through.

If all is well, then I'll go farther, dont want to push my luck to far too soon though (fingers crossed).

Great news Astroman!
