I played ball last evening with a professional women’s player from the States. It was pretty cool playing with her and we ended up playing three games together against two younger players who are tough to beat. We won the first game but then I started running out of gas a bit and lost the 2nd and 3rd games 23-21, but seeing that I am 40 years older than our opponents I didn’t feel so bad. They both have pro beach players for fathers and started playing when they were only four years old. So today it’s air conditioning and ice for me as I work on cooling down my body a bit to help it recover. I like to use Biofreeze gel for pain and its cooling capabilities but I ran out and the stuff isn’t cheap either. The local business sells it for $89 a bottle, which is quite a bit at a quart, but still it is not a cheap thing for something that is good for cooling down joints. I will look online to see if I can snag it cheaper and grab a big bottle of it, which should last me about six months or so. The HVAC worker told me about it years ago and I’ve used it when sore from working on heat pumps or carrying mini split a/c units up a bunch of flights of stairs for a customer. I will get some again if I can afford it but most of my cash is in stocks waiting to blossom one day I am hoping.
