I haven't been on skis for 5 weeks due to my cranky SI joint. I ignored it too long and this time it's slower to heal. I was ok at first because the snow conditions were pretty bad but now I'm missing the best snow so far this season. My activities are limited to walking flat terrain and riding my bike on the trainer. I'm looking at another week or 2 before I can ski.

My friends from Cincinnati are here skiing. They've been here since Jan. 1 but I haven't seen them yet. It's an hour + drive to the mountains and there's not much for me to do there except clean the condo. My SO drives up on Sunday and returns on Friday afternoon so I'm alone all week.

My thoughts, this too shall pass, just like all the others (rotator cuff and acl surgery, broken wrist, and a few other crazy injuries).

It's best to take care of yourself now so you can get back on the trails in the spring and not have to worry about future problems with it.
