2 days now without any exercise. I have some serious doubts that taking time off is going to help my problem get better. I can't explain why, but I have doubts.

Don't doubt Lily ... please hang in there ...

I saw you at the gym today lifting. Did you do any cardio? Give it a day or two more and see how it goes.

From Lily on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 12:59:51 from 67.199.181.73

Thanks Smooth and Bonnie! Bonnie I have your MP3 case and I will take excellent care of it. I am going swimming this week. :) You're the best.

Smooth you are so sweet. Thanks for your support!

Merri I didn't do any cardio. I haven't since Friday. I am trying to 'rest' the problem and see if it improves. I seriously and am willing to rest for the whole month if it is going to make it all better. But I have doubts for some reason. It's like I know deep down inside that there is a bigger problem. I don't know. Ugggh this is so hard!!!!

Seems like a lot of people have some sort of injury right now, including me. It had never hurt while I ran, but it did yesterday and today it's hurting to walk. I'm going to make an appointment with the orthopedic sports doc.

Hang in there!

Dale I agree. Seems like a know of q a few. It's so depressing.

I know I just need to accept it and be happy. I've had to do this a few times with various things in my life, so I know that ability is inside me somewhere.

Try to be a BADA$$ mentally... just like you are on the roads! :)

From RAD on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 14:23:02 from 67.172.229.125

I like Derunzo's advice! :)

From Julie on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 15:37:14 from 67.199.162.82

Sorry Lily. I hope we are running together again soon. Damn treadmills anyway.

From Kelli on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 19:15:57 from 71.219.84.215

Life Stinks!!!!

Now we just move on and keep on, right? Sorry you are still not doing well, patience is not a virtue runners have!!!!

From Carina on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 20:01:18 from 204.15.86.83

I'm sure that resting it completely will help, it can't hurt that's for sure. You are amazing!!

From Kim on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 20:59:30 from 67.199.180.90

Hey Lily, sorry to hear you are one of the injured. Good luck.

From Teena Marie on Mon, Feb 07, 2011 at 21:35:37 from 67.2.102.13

Hang in there!!

I absolutely **LOVE** listening to music when I swim. Plus, swimming (for me) helps with both the physical and emotional difficulties of being injured. I don't know what it is, but there is something very peaceful about swimming. Just find the right tunes and enjoy the moment and the movement.

SI joints, as you know, can be tricky. I hope that inner feeling you have is more of your deepest worry than reality. I am really really really hoping that your body will respond with less stress to it. Swimming is great because it is zero impact and zero weight bearing.

Note to Lily's body: Please oh please oh please respond and heal!!!!!
