I was so bad and didn’t say hey to my girls BlackBear, Heidi, Christi and Jackie!! Thanks for your comments.

Christi, ouch on the fall, sounds like when Nick was getting used to his clip-on pedals, he had road rash for a couple weeks.

Karyn, welcome to the blog! So sorry to hear about your mom, that’s a hard one. And now shin splints? Aargh. Get a foam roller if you don’t have one, they really get into those painful crevices like nobody’s business.

Sorry about the injury. You will be going strong again in no time. I know how you feel. I stopped running when my mom past away at christmas time. Now I have trouble getting going again as I am plagued with split shins. Just bought a new pair of runners so maybe that will help. Take it easy!

Hey woman. Late to the party. I am glad you are figuring out what is causing the pain. Sounds like you’ve got it figured out. Good thing you’re in the maintenance part of training (if that makes anything feel better). Thanks for the shout out! I really love hearing from you and knowing you’re pulling for me. Take care of that ITBand. Sorry about the spill also. Have a great day! XOXO-Jackie

I am sorry to hear about your ITB. I, too, suffer with that on occasion. I have a gravity story that will make you laugh. I was riding my bike up near Gold Camp road, which is like a mountain climb in Colorado Springs. I was coming from a stop could not get my left foot back into my pedal and dropped right in the middle of the street. My right foot was stuck in my pedal so I dropped hard on my right side. I have some nice road rash on my knee and arm. YEA! To make matters worse, I fell right in front of audience! Well, at least, I have my one fall for the season!

Take care of your injury!

Doggie, thanks babe, I’m on it now, though I’m kicking myself for wasting a few days because I didn’t think the roller was doing anything. Ditto on the Ibuprofen, it was dumb of me to only do it the one day – I should take it for a few days straight.

Jim, I’ll conveniently still be in t-shirt hell, so I’ll be well occupied. Almost glad I have to deal with it, since it’ll take my mind off my evaporating fitness. (joking, joking)

Thanks Bruce, I’m fine and fab, just relieved to have figured it out so I can do something positive about it.
