I went to Dr. Brady yesterday and he worked me over pretty good, Acupuncture and electroshock on my thigh and some pretty heavy duty massage in that area was in order. I'm going back on Thursday for my second visit, and he said I might be able to run as soon as Saturday but that will depend on how I am doing on Saturday... I have had about enough of this injury and I just want it to be gone and over with, I can't go much longer with out training and still feel like I can give SG a good shot. Any suggestions on how much longer I can go before I am to the point of no return as far as training for SG goes, anyone, anyone, Bueller, anyone!

See ya soon!

You'll be able to do St. George if you have 10 weeks to ramp up, or if you start doing some cross training. You start losing your fitness if you're not running AND not cross training.

When's your Thursday appt? I'll be there at 3pm. Did Dr. Brady make you cry? I'm used to him working me over now but at first I was a nice wuss about it. The really bad thing is if my glute isn't better today, I'll have to have him work on that, which will be a real *treat*.

My Appointment is at 10:00am, and I didn't cry but it was painful at times:-) I am going to start cross training tonight and then start running on Saturday(Hopefully),so I think I should be okay to run it just as long as I don't get anymore injuries.

Clay..I am planning to do a 12 week training plan starting on July 6 I hope that gives me enough time to get ready.
