Intensives

He sounds like a good coach. At least you get participation of the plan and it gives you something to think about for the future

I can understand about the frustration though. I guess maybe it's difficult to know where to draw the line beyond normal "this hurts" and abnormal "this is bad" pain. That and you WANT something to be good so therefore it is.

Here's hoping for a quick recovery

Well, now that knee month is over, you could get lumped in with my cranky elbow if you like? I do not think we have had elbow month yet either.....

It could be it could be posterior lateral tibialis epicondoyle month

See now T - that's where I don't have an excuse. I of all people should be more aware of what's good pain/bad pain. Unfortunately, it comes down to that whole 'Physician heal thyself' thing. I had the blinders on and selectively ignored things I shouldn't because my mind was so set on my goal. It's a good thing and a bad thing.

And RnR - no, I don't want to be lumped into the cranky elbow mont, although the muscle is the lower extremity equivilant really, so they might compliment each other well.

I got up this morning and walked without a limp. After warming up I've been almost pain free today. It's time for a massage and to start my serious rehab. I'm spoiled that I have a shuttle at work that will allow me to practice hopping and increase my lower leg strength as a proportion of my body weight. That'll help. It's a lot easier than jsut going back to straight hopping or running.

Here's what happens when you take someone who's been on an intensive and suddenly finds themselves not doing much of anything. Aimless posting behaviour.

Physical status: getting a little better everyday but still to sore to hop or run.

Mental status: bored. Slightly annoyed with it all but generally staying positive.

I'm going out for a ride on my new bike tomorrow.
