injuries galore…
this has been an interesting summer of injuries so far.
i have always prided myself on being physically fit, but if i were to be honest, the last several years i have turned more and more into a ‘weekend warrior’.
i never stretch before (or after) doing any activity and up until now i have been very blessed not to suffer any major injuries… but i am beginning to feel more and more aches and pain from day to day activities. i fear i might be due up for a major mishap! 😦
for instance, both of my achilles tendon feel sore after doing some light jogging and my ankles get sore during certain climates.
anyway… this summer alone, three close friends of mine have been the victims of some heinous injuries. please keep them and their road to recovery in prayer:
1. matt “lawdawg” law.
- injured playing softball: was rounding 3rd base on his way to score and collided w/ the catcher.
- result(s): lost a front tooth, had his upper lip stitched up and incurred misc. cuts and deep abrasions on arms and face.
- injured playing basketball: in the last ten minutes of the open gym, was going to the hoop and made a sharp cut and then “snap, crackle, POP”.
- result(s): ruptured his OTHER achilles’ tendon! (More …)

…and be very wary of extreme sports like…backpacking.
