ITBS

Well, it looks like I had 10 visitors on this blog on September 10th. I have to say I've been ignoring the blog a bit due to an injury.

iliotibial Band Syndrome

It hasn't been fun. Lots of rehab, "manual therapy" and icing.

This is my third week in and I've been getting depressed because I'm not as active as I'd like.

Most of the sports I do, I'm now not allowed to do.

Today, though, the story is slightly different!

I found out I am free to do pushups, situps and jumprope! That's great!
So much better than the doctor's original advice of doing the elliptical backwards and swimming. Swimming is awesome and all, but I am not that skilled in it. I'd rather keep up the pace of pushing myself rather than learn a new skill. (Though that's not a bad idea either.)

This is my official report. I AM NOW BACK IN ACTION!
