Hi Liz,

This week, I had my first (pool) rolling session since I tore my rotator cuff and was very pleased that the recovering injury wasn't a problem with a roll. What was an issue -- to my surprise -- was the sculling draw. At least I know what to tell my physiotherapist next time I see him. Maybe I'll be the first patient ever to take paddle to physio to demonstrate where impingement is kicking in.

By the way, I was astounded when you mentioned your age. What a great role model you are to us all. When I first drew up a tentative timeline for retirement and tried to anticipate the physical limitations I might face at specific ages, I thought perhaps paddling and skiing would no longer be possible by age seventy. But you and a friend who is a Yukon Masters ski champion at 70 are making me re-think that timeline. Good on you!

It all depends on the injury ...
