Injured

FasterSkierSeptember 6, 2009

For the last 4 days I've been nursing a pulled intercostal muscle. Not quite sure how it happened but on Thursday as I was starting to ramp back into training after a few days off I found myself nauseous with pain. I went to get accupuncture that afternoon and some active release in the evening. The pain was down a whole lot the next day and I've been getting treatment daily since.

The training has been a little different that I am used to. It's been stationary. I've been hitting the elliptical or the stationary bike 3 times a day pretty hard to keep the fitness up while giving injured area little time to heal. Thank God for college football and the US Open to keep me company.
