Good idea? Bad idea?

Before I get started, I want to thank you for actually reading this. Not only am I using these entries as an outlet, I am also doing it to practice my writing. Once upon a time I used to do quite a lot of it and I was actually fairly decent at it. I'm hoping that by writing more and more of these I actually improve my writing ability and get better at presenting imagery through words. I'm not necessarily looking for critique, but if you see something I could do better at (or actually think I am decent) then I would not mind the message. Now back to the entry at hand.


As I am writing this I have my feet in a wash tub with water and epsom salt. With the extra time I have been pushing at the gym, I have really been feeling the soreness lately. I actually went and got a massage the other week and felt pretty darn good afterwards, but I cant exactly afford to go and do one of those a week or anything. Epsom salt is one of the things I was given suggested to try, hence why I am giving it a try. The reason I only have my feet soaking and not going straight to a full body bath, is because of a story mom mom told me.

Apparently my grandpa was allergic to epsom salt but did not know it. He had some rash going on his leg or arm (can't remember which) so he did an epsom soak. And the rash only got worse. Pretty sure he did it a couple times and things only got progressively worse. He ended up talking to someone else in pharmacology and they pointed out to him that he was probably allergic to epsom. So he stopped doing it, and soon enough the rash was completely gone. My mom has never tested it out so she was not sure if she is allergic or not, but I guess I will soon enough.

One of the main things I have been working on recently is my flexibility, and also heavy leg days. Those two REALLY don't match up too well as the extra muscle mass makes mobility tough. If the Epsom does its job, then some of the extra tightness and soreness should be a thing of the past and make it easier for me to go harder, which in turn will probably make me even more sore and make it feel like this stuff does nothing at all. And the cycle of the gym continues. So 20 minutes of typing and distractions later I just pulled my feet out and I don't see anything crazy. I'll post an amendment should it be needed.....
