of being "good" and too tired to be 'bad" I never thought I would say this, but I miss using the elliptical. I tried it yesterday. My hips hurt, my ITB's are screaming, and I am sooooo tired it is ridiculous. I can't force myself on to my trainer - see above. I can't get in the pool because my finger surgery has not healed yet. I have not been cleared to start a walking program yet. 3 injuries in less than 2 years.... I'm sick of the pain and restrictions I feel like I spend more time cross training than I do running Did I mention that I am actually a little scared to start running again? Sometimes a lot scared.... Not ever running again scares me more

Cheryl, I'm so sorry. And I'm sorry I don't have any good advice for you expect to tell you to keep your chin up. I do understand the depression and frustration of being injuried and wish I could make it go away for you. This is my third time coming off the bench and it was the shortest I've been benched. The longest was a year with my hip and with the doctor telling me I would never run again or do anything that required heel striking. And I am running again....slow but getting there... So I totally agree with MC.....this is just a bump in the road....and focus on getting you fixed up first...... (((((Cheryl))))))
