Hi everyone! Back from the Ortho and in phys therapy 3x a week... no running for me for awhile, so I'm hoping to cycle to keep fit. Just 4 weeks until the next race
Apparently something is wrong with all parts of my leg! Limited range of motion in my ankle, which led to tendonitis, which led to tight outer calf muscles, which probably led to IT band syndrome, which pulled my kneecap off track and to the outside of my knee, which strained my inner quad... you get the picture. Of course its all related... so lots of rehab in my future. Beware of poor body mechanics!
Kirsty - I give you credit! 6 days a week? That sounds exhausting! Are you using any intervals? I hope you don't suffer any overuse injuries...
Suzanne, where are you off to this week? Wherever, hope you have a great time!
Steve - did you make it to the driving range? Run with the dog? My St. Bernard can't even handle a walk in this heat. We have to take her early in the morn (and she likes to sleep in!) or in the late evening, after the sun sets. But then again, she's a lot bigger than your pup!
Veronica - I feel your pain! Of course you'll be better off for having done the hill on a lsd run, but who wants to go through that? We have a long (1.25 mile) hill on our club run and at the start of each season everyone hates it but by the end of the season it doesn't seem like such a big deal... so "just keep running, just keep running, just keep running"... and feel free to vent anytime!
Ashley - good luck finding that treadmill! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Off to bed, have a great weekend (I know its only hump day, but I probably won't be back before Monday!)
