I totally agree…..running is so much more fun than triathalons! 8 hours on a trainer holy cow! Keep us updated and get through these weeks…believe me it is so worth it no matter how bad cross training is.

If anyone can overcome this nagging ache, it will be you! You persevere all these aiments each time and I know you will again – hang in there. And 2000yd 2x/week? Gwaaaa, I get to a mile and have to surrender – and I used to be a collegiate swimmer. HATE IT! I should look into a waterproof radio, I bet I could handle it longer if I wasn't counting pool tiles on the bottom of the pool over and over! Good job with the swimming!

The first week is ALWAYS the worst, hang in there. I can't believe I'm saying this but I miss water running.
I also agree with Amanda, acupuncture has really helped my IT band in the past but hey, you've got it down and rest is always a good thing!
Thanks for your advice via email! I found a shock wave therapy doc here in town but it's $5,000!!! There is a slim, very, very slim, chance that I can get insurance to pay for it. Wouldn't that be something! If not, I'm okay, I'm just starting back slowly.
Keep up the awesome cross training, you won't regret it!!

Thanks for the Garmin Comment. I'll have to check out that book of yours. Also, I'm beginning to think that maybe I'm not a Garmin runner either. Up until now, I've done just fine with just my running shoes and an open road (oh, and I put clothes on sometimes too).

any chance you have been to the chiro already? i keep finding that when I go and do accupuncture a lot what has been a long term issue starts to heal up very quickly.

way to go on getting in the cross training!

I agree, I love running more than other workouts although Pilates is fun too. But weight training I do only because I know it's good for me.

Hang in there, you're almost halfway through your rest period.
