Just an Average SKIRT

I call this phase of healing ‘the last 5 pounds’ because it’s so hard to rid yourself of the last bit of pain and injury.  My SI joint is causing me constant pain, it goes from a solid 5 to a 10 but never subsides.  My adductors continually wake me up in the middle of the night as I roll over in my sleep.  Yes, this sucks but that doesn’t mean that its not ok or I won’t recover.  I will, I just need to exercise the major patience I have learned from my husband.

I should be well into my training for my fall marathons but instead I haven’t run since IM.  I’m getting a massage today and will hit the Joint afterwards.  I have another scheduled for Wednesday and another on Saturday.   That should really help.

We volunteered at Boulder Peak yesterday, we rode our mt. bikes over there and back then stood on our feet for 4+ hours.  I’m pretty sore this morning from that and have decided to take it easy today.  Congrats to all my teammates and clients that raced yesterday - it was hot and they were tough.

My recovery saga to be continued…..
