Injuries Suck

There is really no way around it. Injuries suck; especially in a sport like running where the training shapes your lifestyle. Although the lifestyle seems boring and mundane, its something I am craving.

With injuries you can't do anything. Except grind away in the pool or the bike. The first day of cross training is fine, but by the middle of the first week the idea of doing this for weeks on end start to sink in. Then, it gets tough.

However, I am currently in the worst phase of being injured. It's the part where you've been hurt long enough, and know that the end is near. But, in the back of your head you know that if you start up again too soon, its going to relapse. And your back to square one. It sucks, but hopefully, I'll be running by next week at this time.
