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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hee-hee! Unfortunately, my DH is my enabler. Even if I wanted to rest, he would have none of it . This is the same guy who was on his trainer three days after surgery for a torn meniscus this year....

I did go out for my MTB ride today. Probably shouldn't have, but couldn't resist. Spent 2 hours riding in the snow and ice - hard going, but fun. My shoulder is pretty sore now, so I think I will rest now - at least until tomorrow .

Now - Rocknrollgirl - listen to your hubby

p.s.

MP - I can totally understand how your arm could fall asleep after riding a snowmobile. The sleds have gotten much better in their design, however, but 8 hours on one is enough to make any tired and sore!
