crash-training

last week i had booked an appt with the sports injury doc for last nigh.  Yesterday I called his office, left a brief message, asking him to return my call.  He did.  I gave him a better description of saturday's events, and his response "i suggested cross-training, not crash-training" OHHHHHHHHH!  DUH! LOL  Luckily we know each other from outside of my never-ending-consistent injuries because I may have cried. 

Not sure if it's just this week, but everywhere I look, there are runners and cyclists, almost rubbing it in.  I've been sticking to weight training (keeping my fingers crossed, cuz knowing me, i'll find a way to screw this up too!! LOL) and having fun with the Wii Fit, but it's totally not the same.

The cut is healing up nicely, should be able to get the stitches out monday.  Telling myself it'll be easy, schmeasy -- having had 42 staples removed from my head I can handle 4 stitches!!!

I've rescheduled my appt to tomorrow for the consultation with my sports injury doc, and the other doc to get his opinion on my shin splints, since I still have pain, and haven't run in 10 DAYS!!!!!!! ugh -- also on my shoes, gait and orthotics.  I'm hoping to be able to move in the right direction on this...  I think I've now realized how much running has done for me, and how much I need it.
