Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for March 23, 2025

Spring Fever, after a certain age, means burning through the accumulation of winter.

spring rains & muscle strains

At least they are trying to get in shape to chase after you kids!

I’ve never used ice after exercise. Is it useful? I exercise, but I don’t usually get sore muscles. For joints, pain can lead to arthritis, so I try to avoid pain.

I don’t get it.

Where’s the W?

The way Wanda and Darryl are slinging sweat beads, that’s going to be one funky smelling carpet

Put them on the grocery list…..

If you want to avoid pain, NEVER read “Crankshaft”. lol

No pain, no gain

A seldom-used rowing machine is such an awkward piece of exercise equipment; it’s neither easily moved nor a useful clothes rack.

Working out to get the flab of winter out, I’ve been riding my bike since the New Year’s when I bought it, a single speed/Fixie meaning 1 gear, 12 miles is about an hour and 10 minutes averaging 10+ mph

Tylenol works too.

Cold works, up to a point. When I had foot surgery, they ran a line with icewater into the cast I had to wear to keep it cool, and ‘reduce the swelling.’ Six weeks later when the cast came off, I had a frostbite injury. Took forever to get that skin to heal.

My exercise is running for commuter trains
