Did the same thing years ago. It was huge and black and blue. X-rays showed that I only strained it (no actual tears or tissue damage), but I could almost walk on it. It hurt, but I have a different tolerance for pain. I got a neoprene ankle brace with a splint in it and wore that for about 2 months afterwards. It was about 4 months before I was running again.

Now, having said all that, go see a doctor. You may have damaged it differently. There are a lot of bones and tendons in your foot and they all need to work properly for you to walk, so get it checked out. You might be out a few hundred dollars, but if you can't walk in 40 years, you'll probably wish you'd done it. Even if it's bad, there's a good chance you'll be just wearing the same neoprene brace this summer.

I feel like, at least in America -- and it might be just my part of America -- we feel like our hobbies have to make us look better. I can't just take photos, they have to be really good photos and I should look into selling them. You can't just like to make cakes, you have to make amazing cakes and do it for friends' parties. There's not enough emphasis on just do something you like because it makes you happy. This doesn't have to be a competition. It doesn't matter if your shit is abysmal as long as you enjoy doing it. Have fun!

Agree: for most people, the beer gut is more pronounced because of the laxity of the front abs (also causing a hyper extended spine which causes back pain), it's not all just fat. So, proper training and strengthening of the abs will help pull those things back in line, but won't do much for burning off fat.

No. You cannot target areas to lean out. This also holds for exercise: doing sit-ups will not burn the fat off your abs. The fat will also not necessarily come off evenly. Sometimes it does, sometimes the saddlebags stay until the bitter end even when your ribs are clearly visible. Genetics does play a role, but it can be dealt with.

(I'm a trainer and physiologist and helping people to lose fat is something I do.)

You could look into being a driver for Cisco: they supply a huge number of restaurants. Might give you connections that you could parlay into working for a different food distributor as either a driver or salesman. I also knew a guy who power washed businesses, like the exteriors. Just showed up and washed the outside walls. I had no idea this was a thing. I think he had to do it overnight though, so might be potentially dangerous in certain areas.

I'm in this particular loop at work where I don't want and don't really need an account, so I'm going to pretend I didn't see this and if you could ensure that IT doesn't see this, that'd be great, thanks.

Let it soak for 20 mins

Way to go! That looks awesome!

That's my cupboard

If you do find a disc image, to burn it, you will need to make sure your burning software has an option that makes the disc bootable. Toast used to do this, not sure what exists out there these days.

I so hope someone in Hollywood is working on this

I'm an athlete and a biomechanics student who studies this sort of thing. Technically, if you do the physics, yes, pavement is harder than dirt. Will your body actually notice that difference given the forces that you experience from an easy run in modern shoes? Not likely. For a few hours a day, day in and day out over decades, then yes you will. But if you run a few miles once or twice a week, no, you probably won't see a huge difference. (And most trails frequented by runners are packed dirt that is not much softer than pavement. Getting onto shift and squishy loam tails isn't feasible for everyone.)

I'm 95% certain it was snow leopard, because I remember making a special trip to comp usa to get it on release day. I didn't do that for Lion. I might even have skipped that one entirely. I still have that snow leopard disc, somewhere

Get a workout buddy. Can be a friend or spouse or a trainer, but someone who will make you show up because you know they're going to be there and you'll be a jackass if you bail on them. They'll also make you look forward to the time together, and help you not think about being tired or sore or sweaty or how many left you have, whatever. I'm a trainer and my most valuable skill is making my clients forget they're working out and that they hate working out. The less you hate what you're doing, the more likely you are to do it, so find something you don't mind, and then find someone you like to do it with. Start there.

If you want to get into gym life and weight training, find a good trainer. Date around and find someone you click with. The Internet is full of good and bad advice, but a real(that means certified) trainer will have mostly good advice. If you can't afford a trainer, then stick to the machines because it's harder to hurt yourself on those. Anything is better than nothing, but be sure to take your time because moving too fast causes injuries and injuries only waste time, set you back and possibly stop you for good. Learn to enjoy the process and the journey and this will become the lifestyle change people say it should be.

Good luck and be sure to have fun!

I do not have enough up votes for this

Seconded

Where in Denver is this?
