I'm Not Missing

I'm still here, playing sand volleyball on Sundays and making myself painfully get through runs.  I now have Iliotibial band syndrome pretty badly on my left side, the right side isn't as bad but it has started.

It is just my luck, as I get into great running shape, run a half marathon that about kills me and now I have this.  Sadly there isn't anything you can do for it, so I'm still training for the Run the Flood race here in Cedar Rapids, it is a 7 mile race and is June 9th.  I'll suffer through the training and the ice massages, ick, I've always hated those.  They do help though, poor Kyle having to give me ice massages after every run and having to massage my hips and butt ;)

Once the race is over I will be taking a break from running, thankfully there are a ton of other cardio options for me, including the P90X cardio.  I haven't "officially" began my weight training for the body fitness show but hopefully that will begin next week, woo hoo!

Sand Volleyball!

Sand volleyball started up again last night, woo hoo!!!!!!  Currently I am playing doubles with my little brother Larry and starting May 7th we'll also be playing 4's with our friend Chris and my little sister Mindy.

We were a bit rusty last night, five months off isn't a great thing!  We were pretty close in all three games, although we lost them all, but there's always next weekend :)

I managed to pull a muscle in the first game, I just knew it was my quad, until I woke up this morning to an ugly bruise and a very, very sore hip flexor.  Looks like I will be icing it tonight and not working out, grrrrrrrrr.

I'm getting very irritated with my body, partly my own fault I obviously need to be stretching a heck of a lot more.  I was supposed to start training for the body fitness show today, oh well at least I should be able to do some ab work.  I HATE abs, but I really need to get working on them :)
