All right, welcome to the Monday minute of the Huntback Country podcast.

These are shorter and more informal episodes where we answer listener questions.

Behind the scenes, Steve and I are recording this on Sunday, so no Super Bowl commentary

because we don't know what happened, quote unquote, last night.

You just got done doing a snowfew hike. I told

you I wanted to ask how it went, but might as well throw it in the podcast. How was it?

It was good. And we only have six inches of snow or something at the house, so it's not like

it was necessary, but I just wanted to add a level of difficulty to it so just went to four miles and definitely since i just a week ago

talked about my kely's killing me i a bunch of people reached out and then a handful of them including

anthony oberty our good friend talking about just doing like these really slow calf raises.

So you like go up and then like it's like almost like a 10 count where you like you're at the edge of the stairs and then you go down below.

So your heel goes down.

Right. So you're really.

Yeah.

So you're really stretching the Achilles. I did that. The first day and the next day was like significantly

better waking up in the morning. Um, doesn't make any like, okay. Um, just simply

stretching under tension like that. I don't know.

So I've been doing them every day and it's, I want to say it's like 80% better. And they were with the snowshoes on climbing up the hill.

They were in a good way, I guess.

I mean, you could feel how tight they were, but it was like stretching, you know,

how it is hiking with snow shoes because you're, you're, you just, your ankles move differently.

Um, oh yeah. Nice. Um, is that, I mean, so you're going slow up on the raise and slow down.
