Jetlag hit me hard last night, I just could not get to sleep. I had to go try and sleep in the basement cause I was worried I was going to keep my wife up all night. at 3:45am I gave up trying and just went to the gym.

While I was tossing and turning last night I had grand visions of a miraculous comeback after yesterday's 8 mile run. I could see myself effortlessly running 6:30 pace again enjoying every moment. Well it wasn't meant to be, did 15 minutes warm up on the elliptical and then went to the treadmill, instantly knew it wasn't going to happen again today. Absolutely sick of the elliptical trainer I went and changed into my swim suit and swam 1600 meters in the pool. They had the water very cold this morning, must be the new summer water temperature but if felt very good and woke me up from my restless night. After I swam for 45 minutes I decided to change again and hit some weights.

I'm about 10 lbs heavier than I'd like to be, I hope at least 1/2 of that is muscle from all the weights I've been doing lately.

Going to see the doctor today, I have my doubts about him being able to help me anymore than what I've already tried but it's a last ditch effort. I can't handle this much longer.

What are you seeing the doc for? I hate those sleepless nights....I get them all the time and not from jetlag. I'm worried mine is from early menopause! ha!

I've been going on 12 week now of a pulled something in my something (I'm not much of a medical specialist). I would have been to a doctor earlier but I've been out of state/country ever since it happened.

Good luck! I hope you get it figured out. Good job with the cross training, I'm sure at least half of your extra weight is muscle :)

sorry rob. hope you get some answers from the doc. i also have a pulled something in my something. it's the worst injury ever.

Thanks Allie. I got answers but not good ones. Looks like I'm out for at least 12 - 18 weeks with a hip stress fracture. I haven't cried this much since my dog died.

Sorry Rob. I feel you... no really I do.

I cried a lot during the winter. I was a changed person. My husband said I looked like somebody had died. :(

I gained 10 lbs about 2 weeks into my injury as well. It's hard to say exactly if it was fat or muscle, because I started lifting a ton when I got hurt. I think it was a combo. Either way, it sucked big time! Chin up and let yourself heal. Your body knows what it's doing. Swimming sounds like a great option.

Ugh!! I am so sorry!! You'll come back stronger and faster, I know it!!
