Ants in my Pants!

throw a smoke bomb down your pants, it will get all the ants out.

check out this video on stretching, i had so many aches and pains before i started this stretch routine...

it won't let me post a url in my comment...

so look for youtube/stevedst and then look for his stretch routine...hope it helps

I hope you feel better!! Maybe you should take a break from all exercise for a few days.

Sorry to hear about the injury! Sometimes they carry a hidden benefit, though: pick a different activity that does not involve the hip at all and make that your focus for a week or so (I mix in weight training and swimming). It shocks your system and allows yourself to heal. Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, and always staying so positive for me! It really does help. Hmm..no pool where I work out currently.. I will definitely look at other non-hip related exercises, though.

do you do any weight training to help strengthen those muscles? - be sure to give it enough time to heal so you dont cause further injury.... i think i pulled a hamstring muscle because i OVER stretched!! but nothing major... just feels odd...

[cameravenus]

Over stretched?! Yikes - was it a case of pushing farther than your flexibilty allowed or..? yes, I weight train 3x a week (2x for arms - they are weaker; 1x for legs). But, I added hip abduction/adduction to my regimen on arm day to help with the ITB issue (I HOPE!)

Hey! Thanks for mentioning me. I get antsy sometimes, too. I'll realize I've just been sitting most of the day and want to just *move*. Hope the injury heals nicely and that your enjoyed your movie!

[cameravenus]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching! :) I ended up working out at home instead - it was raining pretty hard and I just didn't feel like driving in that. But, I did a workout video, so hey it's all good.

Be patient. You will get better soon enough.

[cameravenus]

You're absolutely right - pateience is what I must embrace. I have to think of how much worse it will be if I don't do the right thing (rest, ice, stretch, you know the drill...)

There is a girl in my tri club who comes from a running background. She has a really effed up foot right now. She has not been able to run in months. She is in misery, but she keeps finding ways to keep her self up.

Thanks - I'm trying to stay positive and motivated.
