Will I never learn? Or is it ever...

I ran today. Big mistake already! I'm sooo sore, no, in pain. I'm just impatient or what. Consistancy is still the key. Then I wouldn't push it.

I have an inordinate amount of frustrated energy tonight. I have no outlet right now. ARGH!

Cement Haiku

Oh, ghetto running
You scare me with dogs and falls
Joy! I am intact

Busy!

I have been so busy recently that I have fully neglected to post any updates! As I am still busy today, this will be short and sweet.

Tuesday - walked
Wednesday - ran
Thursday - ran
Friday - woke up so darn sore and tired I am going to do some work and drink extra coffee prior to determining my course of action for the day! Odds are that I will give my body a break today and then run again tomorrow. There is something to be said for rest!

I have been eating really well this week and feel a lot better then I have in a long time.

Howdy Stranger!

Just a quick update before I head into the office. I have been walking but not a lot. It has been pretty rainy here and I am terrified of getting my iPod wet. For example, I was going to hit the pavement prior to the office this morning but weather.com told me rain, rain, and more rain! And it was pretty darn cloudy and windy. So, I decided to postpone. When I got out of the shower it was still dry - and sunny!!!!!

The sin of modern medicine

What may it be? The rule of rest until you feel better. First, life does not allow for this kind of prescription unless you are truly ill or deeply depressed. Even then life doesn't allow deep rest, but the illness may demand it, insist, refuse to leave until you're imbolized.

At any rate, my rant here is about the physical therapy treatments I took. During that time I was very depressed and in serious, serious pain. My therapist demanded I rest - not exercise - until I felt better. Only it made me worse. AND (this is the key I think) following these instructions seperated me from my knowledge of my body and self. In order to heal this bursitis I must be in tune with my body. Take things easy. But NOT cease all activity. Why did I follow those instructions?

I think I hold modern medicine in such high regard that it doesn't occur to me to refuse the prescriptions even though I know better. Well I am jumping off that bandwagon! I know my body and how I choose to treat it is my decision.

This all boils down to 1. I love acupuncture. 2. I do believe in mind/body/soul connection and one part out of whack or in neglect can manifest itself in another part. 3. Nourish yourself!

I'm walking daily and doing a light jog sometimes. I can go longer. I'm not in pain before, after, or during. I'm done with PT and have my second acupuncture appointment tomorrow.
