Just an Average SKIRT

After a very busy weekend, Monday came quickly this week. I thought, ‘damn…I need another weekend, I’m hurting, I’m tired, I am busy with work and have an assignment due tonight….why the hell am I back in school?’

Monday ensued as every other crazed day seems to do and I found myself driving to school still asking the question ‘what am I doing’, ‘didn’t I want to take a break after ironman?’, ‘why must everyday of my life be busy to the brim?’

Made my way to the classroom and was ever so quickly reminded of why I love massage school so much. Because you get a shitload of bodywork and being in the graduate program now I’m getting it from professionals. Not rookies, professionals and yeah baby, I’m getting all that lovin’ for free. So basically since Monday (and mind you it’s wednesday) I’ve had 2.5 hours of massage and an 1.5 hr of acupuncture between school and my ‘outside’ appointments. So yes, I love being back in school.

Sure it makes my life a bit more hectic but boy, does that all just slide to the side when I’m on the table. So yes I’m loving it and contrary to what I’ve been writing, I don’t just love it for the bodywork. I love it for the insight and knowledge that I’m receiving. The program is top notch, no big surprise coming from BCMT and it’s worth every penny, every minute of each hectic day. I love it, I’m a big spongy nerd who is just soaking it all up.

It’s a great time to be injured I tell ya, getting lots of great treatments and actually starting to make some progress. It’s slow but that’s what my body has decided it needs for this recovery. It’s doing the best job it can and I will get there. Had to rearrange the masta plan a bit today but Craig has me set up now so that I’m not so overwhelmed with workouts that I can’t really do right now. So starting back up on the plan officially August 4th. Have decided to bag the Boulder Marathon and keep my focus on the ol’PR at Cape Cod in late October.

Feel positive, getting strong and slowly but surely healing up.
