If you're someone like me and you, who part of our CD involves probably walking on uneven surfaces one day, whether for you it's rucking, for me it's maybe going out and hunting or something like that, you're not walking on pavement. And you're not even just walking on like beautifully manicured grass. Yeah, it's slanted to the side. It's like pebble gravel.

You're always going to lose your footing somehow and you have to be able to regain it. What are the most important exercises that you need to be doing to maintain all of the characteristics of tissue and nervous system to preserve?

And maybe just to even things out. So Jill doesn't think I'm picking on her injury. Let's talk a little bit about my limitations. So the thing that's probably been my biggest source of nag in the past 12 months has been foot ankle. Let's talk a little bit about those injuries, why they're occurring. And again, they're not debilitating. They don't actually prevent me from doing a single thing.

But because I'm... sensitive. I just want to know, is this a harbinger of something? What's your assessment of what's going on? And how would you even describe it? Would you describe it as my ankle? Would you describe it as my navicular tailor joint? Where's the actual issue in me?

And thank you for not telling everybody the last cause of injury. I would never. Just for the listener. I don't know why, but I somehow decided two months ago to pick up a pogo stick. Never done it in my life. Somehow decided. Hey, is that in the bonus Centenary Decathlon for you? Yeah, I was like, I'm going to add another activity. Pogo sticking up and down the driveway.

Yeah, that goes in the bucket of you should have called me first. Like what a, I mean, the second I started, I was like, oh, not a good idea.

Just to be clear, we are nine or 10 weeks ago since my pogo sticking debacle. It's no longer as bad, but every single morning when I get up, there is still incredible and sharp pain right at that tendon. Why is this taking so long?

We'll make a series of videos, of course, to go along with this. But explain that exercise, because it looks ridiculous. Nobody's doing that on Instagram. They are, but they're drinking the Kool-Aid. Yeah, all right. But it's a complex movement. So we've got a plate in front of me.

So we're two and a half, three inches up. Yep. My front foot, just ball of foot and toes are on there. I'm in a split squat. Yep. What am I doing with that front foot? I'm lifting it into plantar flexion. Yeah.

So this is the second time I've had this flare up. The first time I had it was probably a year and a half ago when I really started increasing rucking volume. This was caused by kind of an acute incident, which was the pogo sticking where I clearly over planter flexed or dorsiflexed, I guess, was part of the extreme dorsiflexion that did it. What do you think was driving it on the rucking side?
