The people you meet

Every day continues to amaze me. Yesterday I ran into a gentleman that held such a different perspective on life. One that we all for the most part take for granted. Where does stress come from? Simple answer: Its what we make out of life. Our outlook on viewing stress and overcoming our struggles comes from within. I know it seems simple but if we just stepped back and simplified life might be a bit simpler.

Back on the Horse

After a frusterating few weeks of rest and rehab I finally feel like I am back on the horse again. April I ended up with a subcondyl stress fracture that could have resulted in a lot of time of but after some Physical Therapy and time spent on MVP Therapy ultra sweet Treadmill the ALTER G. I managed to keep my distances in through this machine. However, getting back on the road I found that I started favoring my right knee which then threw off my left leg. After a bit of ultrasound and electric stimuli on the leg as well as a little deep tissue massage and things are bouncing back my leg is feeling great, and I am back and fully running again.

During my rehab period I managed to get things worked out with my Insurance and Dexcom (Continuous Glucose Monitoring) and I am loving it! There unit has proven to be a Heaven send and an essential tool in my training. The only downside to it is my lack of body fat has made it difficult to find sites that work. So far I have used my overused stomach. By overused I mean that is were I have my pump site as well as my CGMS site for years and so scar tissue is plentiful in that area. The other location is the back of my arm. This seems to work well as for the most part it is out of the way the only problems is when swimming the electrode occasionally hits muscle which then creates a bit of tenderness, but all in all it works.
