What's wrong with me.

"Fing Grossman" - Todd after the superbowl.

Its more the bears offensive. They did nothing at all. they had a chance but they got so outplayed so badly on offense its not even funny. It was a sad sad day in Chicago. Chicago finally got to the world stage all they needed to do was win and everyone would been like hey they were not such a sad team after all. Atleast the score was pretty close but the stats were no wear near close.

needless to say I am falling behind in my goals. I might not do one of the HIMs I was looking to do this year since well I am way behind in my training. 2 weeks into it and I have done 1/2 the training. I move the computrainer into the other room but I yet to finish setting it up. I have to do it today and ride it. I need to reallt bike alot more than I am. Swimming is proving nicely though but without the bike my weight is creeping up again. I need it to go down.

Good news though. If you read runner's world this month you will see exactly what is wrong with me. I have a tight IT band. IT band is tight since I have weak hip anductor muscles. Jen from Athelico in naperville proved that to me. what does that mean for me? Means in 3 weeks I think I get to run again. I will be slow and sad but I will be out there. why 3 weeks? Well this weekend it will be way too cold and next weekend I am skiing with Stephanie and Ron and some other people. Needless to say soon I will be back. I just have to massage the it band and build up the hip anductor. Ironicly I thought it was the other part of the quad that was weak up I was wrong.

Advantage Lora

I am seeing Athelico today about my knee and my back. Back is just a painful but its just weird problem that really does not bother me ever but when I feel it, it really hurts. That is why its weird.

I been using the form roller for the last 2 days which is good for a do it yourself deep tissue massage. Guess what. My feet are in better position and I think that might be the key. my knee problem could be a result of an tight IT band. IT band has been tight and usually is very tight when I do a LSD. I found out that causes your feet to come out of alignment which it is. The misalignment does cause alot more pressure on your knees and bam. tenditious. I go on the foam roller and bingo my feet are lined correctly I do not even have to force it. I thought it was a muscle imbalance but its more like a tight it band. It feels like a muscle imbalnce since it took alot of msucle to try to force the knee into the right posistion.

why do I say advantage Lora? since she gets massage she never tightens up so much and she can stay healthy. We can all learn from that. Not saying you need to spend as much as she does on a massage but it shows the importance of flexibity and streching.
