For a long time, I've been struggling with injury. My IT Band is a jerk and it resulted in a nice case of bursitis. UGH! Well, over the last few weeks, I have been going to physical therapy and I feel so much better for it. As I progress and the pail lessens, I'm looking to the future.
First, I started looking for local yoga sessions that wont break the bank. Yes, I have some great DVD's that I can do, but I want to get into a studio once or twice a week. So, if you are in Wilmington, NC, let me know where you go or where you recommend.
Second, and this is BIG, when I get the OK, I will be joining a local running class. Yes, I've done a lot of races. But since I have been hurt for so long, I am starting fresh. This is a good thing. I have the basis and stay active, but this will give me the form work I need. The group also works with physical therapists to make sure there is no injury. THIS IS BIG FOR ME! I'm so over being injured.
The hope is I get clearance on September 29 to be able to join the group and first training session is October 7. I am excited to run again and it is never to early to plan.
While this running season has been a giant FLOP for me, I look forward to a better one next year and allow myself to run injury free.
PS. If you run, stretching, core work, and more stretching is SO important. Listen to your body!
