Luge: Winter Olympics Contest Day #6
To many of us, Luge may seem to be a silly sport. Growing up in the northeast, we would bring our sled to the school hill and sled down. Sometimes, we’d go on a toboggan run. But luge is something else entirely.
The luge sled is on sharp blades going down an ice track, approaching speeds of 100 mph. Small movements of the driver will shift the balance and steer the sled. 64% of injuries with the luge are crash related, resulting in fractures. The others are muscle strains, often in the neck. I, of course, want to recognize the tragic death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili on a training run in Vancouver. Our prayers go out to his family and teammates.
Today’s prize for our Facebook giveaway contest is Barefoot Botanica Cracked Heel Repair Cream. It is a deep penetrating cream that actively soothes and repairs dry, cracked, damaged skin and heels.
It dissolves away dry and callused skin and moisturizes the underlying healthy skin. Feet and heels quickly feel and look good again! Cracked heels are a common foot problem that frequently causes pain, bleeding, and infections.If treatment is not initiated early, not only can the pain become intense, but the cracks and fissures may bleed. Once bleeding occurs, the skin is prone to bacterial infections and athletes foot.
To enter our contest, become a fan on Facebook!!! Drawing will be tonight at 9 pm Central
