This week was not what I ever expected it be. So it was two weeks ago that my body decided to crash on me. It was this week that I decided to do something about it. I have been to PT every day this week. I have been attached to an electrical stimulus and electrical impulse machine, ultra sounds, massages, ice, stretches and many other techniques to ease the pain of my IT band tendinitis and a pulled hamstring muscle. Never the less not running is not an option! I will make it to the start and finish line on Monday, April 21st. I will make it there for myself and for my grandparents that suffered with a lot more. The day can not come soon enough!
