Shefly,
Sounds like you and I are cut from the same cloth. I just read your post to my DH and said...seeee.....I am not the only one that has a hard time resting.

I have been driving him crazy. He finally asked me to do nothing for an entire week to see if it helped. Not that I had been doing much, just swimming. But after two weeks of very little improvement he said...please, just try.

So I have been good since Tuesday. Light weights upper body, all seated that is it. But I keep trying to make deals with him. " Honey, if it feels better by mid-week, do you think I could try the pool again? "

I just feel the clock ticking and my training slipping away...my season getting closer and here I sit!!! I will probably have to rethink my race season. No way I will be ready by May if this keeps going.

Oh well...patience, books, pots of soup.

But today I am going outside...even if I just have to stand there and suck in fresh air!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
