I've found that the cross-training really does help out a lot with my aches and pains, and I had a good experience with Athletic when I worked with them in the past. PT in general has worked wonders for me, so I am very optimistic for you. I've never tried ART but have also heard good things about it. I continue to wish you a speedy recovery, as always! <br /><br />It was so, so good to see you on the course this past Saturday. Can't wait to brunch with you next weekend!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-65517650871752128962014-06-10T08:41:32.899-05:002014-06-10T08:41:32.899-05:00I hope you can get some answers soon. And I just ...I hope you can get some answers soon. And I just wanted to say that you seem to be handling this set back very well. I know it can be hard to take time off and not run but it's probably the best choice! I imagine it's probably very frustrating not knowing what is causing the injury too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351579053400057634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-51973241513467109642014-06-09T09:16:45.747-05:002014-06-09T09:16:45.747-05:00I can totally relate to the "just rest" ...I can totally relate to the "just rest" attitude towards aches, pains and injuries. That's what I've always done, and I've always felt that if I'm already resting, why go to a PT/doctor, who is just going to tell me to rest?? However, this time around, resting didn't work, and I was surprised that when I did go to the PT for the screening, I seemed to have lucked out, and the diagnosis and suggested treatment was not scary and was not "don't run." So now I feel like I was silly for waiting for long to go. Anyway, I'm glad you got it checked out and it sounds like it's possible to fix/improve things so you can go after your goals!

I'm in PT right now for mine. Just knowing that I am being proactive about my ankle issue makes it feel better. I am also liking the strengthening exercises which are helping with my leg imbalances. I hear you when you talk about consistency being important. I have to work on that myself. Instead of going from 10 miles per week to 50 the following week, maybe I should do 10, 15, 25, 30 and camp out at 30 for awhile, and just be happy with being injury-free! Good luck. :)Pete Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09655789227670205830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659111169994174275.post-45279225017242685002014-06-06T08:53:38.124-05:002014-06-06T08:53:38.124-05:00Shit girl.

I'm so frustrated for you, but I'm really glad you're getting help or at least discovering what your options are... and I'm mega impressed (and majorly respect you, well, more, anyway!) that you're pursuing the biking/swimming stuff in the interim. I can't speak for ART experiences, but I'm pretty sure Corey and Declan have had them in the past 12 months, so maybe they'd be worth talkin to about it. Anyway :P thinking good and healthy vibes for you, and I absolutely agree that your approach--thinking long-term consistency instead of short-term "gains"--is absolutely the way to go.
