RENEGADES FALL IN SO, GREEN BAY AT ST. LOUIS




The Richmond Renegades gave up a late goal in the final three minutes of the game allowing Knoxville to tie the game at 3 and the Ice Bears went on to win the game 4-3 in a shootout. The game for the most part was a very lackluster game between the team, there wasn't a whole lot of hitting and there were wasn't anything the resembled a fight. The Gades are now off until Friday night when the Huntsville Havoc come to town. The Green Bay Packers look to improve on there 11-2 record this afternoon when they visit St. Louis to play the Rams, in years past the Packers haven't been very good indoors but so far this year the Pack is 2-0. The Washington Redskins look to keep there faint playoff hopes alive tonight when the visit the Meadowlands to play the New York Giants. My foot is a little bit sorer this morning I think from being on feet to much over the last couple of days. Also last night my right foot began to hurt a bit and it felt like I might be getting the gout in that foot as well but this morning my right foot is feeling ok. I might just be breaking down in my old age. MICKEY

Fitness Tip
Rome wasn’t built in a day, and you won’t be either! If you've spent the last 10 years getting yourself out of shape, don’t expect to develop the body of a Roman god or goddess overnight. You can expect to see changes (sometimes dramatic) inside 12 weeks, but you have to stick with your program. Nothing worthwhile is accomplished overnight. Just remember that YOU CAN DO IT. Hang in there long enough to give yourself a chance to succeed.

your right foot is hurting due to the extra pressure you are placing on it because of the pain in your left foot.
