    (((Susan))) I am sorry to hear about your over-use injury! It isn't fun, but it will pass. I am sure you will be more patient than I was...

    I do remember last winter when I was dying to find some kind of cardiovascular exercise that wouldn't tweak my quads and hamstring, I tried the "hand-cycle" at my gym. Lucky for you, you can swim so that provides you another option.

    Not sure that the flailing about that I do can be classified as swimming, but yeah, at least it's an alternate activity. Today's swim will be my 5th in 6 days. I'm thinking of having gills surgically implanted.

    On the bright side, I saw a new 2012 low on the scale this morning, so I must be doing something right. One of my co-workers came in this morning and said that today is national peanut butter day. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...n_1228291.html I wonder if I can work some in....

    Hang in there Susan. I had an IT band problem about 2 years ago, which turned out to more of a hip alignment issue - and I had rest, PT etc, and swimming was about all I could do too. At least it was April/May and warm enough to enjoy swimming outside in Tucson. Not near as much fun for me as cycling. But be patient and don't rush- way worse having setbacks from going back too soon.

    Hey and congrats on the scale
