Fix Your IT Band
I recently learned that the pain I’ve been having in my left knee (the one with the golf-ball sized bone spur from Oshgoodslaughter disease) is nothing more than a tight IT band. Well … “nothing more” might be an understatement … thankfully, here’s how to fix it. The great news? I’m already yoga-ing and close-squatting [...]

Sports Psychology
I’m a psychologists’ kid, I can’t help it. Here’s my confession: I tried to back out of competing in the Fittest Games. Veronica made me sign up, and I want to compete because it’s fun and I love a good challenge, but I’m worried. I’m worried because I still can’t do muscleups or handstand pushups. [...]

I Snowboard.
Remember when I learned to ski? Here’s a photo. I’d say learning to snowboard went much better … In all seriousness, I liked snowboarding a lot and picked it up faster than skiing. I felt more confident … don’t know if it’s the strapped-in feet, that I already knew the mountain, or that I had [...]

Ankle update
It is still sad. I need someone in Aspen to fix it! Where’s my Austin Sports Therapy Dr. Kyler in this ski town? I need ART, myofascial release, sports massage … somethin’!

Here’s My Ankle
Because I love injury photos … Bruises look so nice a few days after whatever happened, huh? I’m really mobile on the ankle, went for an hour and a half walk yesterday and felt great. Woke up sore this morning in the ankle, but nothing a little MSM and ibuprofen can’t handle. Laying off the [...]

Ankle Sprain
I made it through 16 years of competitive basketball with just one ankle sprain–quite the feat for a female basketball player. And then. Last night I was playing some more basketball, and I jumped up and came down on the foot of the guy I was defending. My ankle rolled out and then in, I [...]

Overtraining or Injured?
I was talking to my frequent training partner, who also happens to be a nurse and incredibly nutrition savvy, V, the other night, and she mentioned something I hadn’t keyed in on in my quest to understand what’s going on with me – I’ve been injured. The shoulder still hurts, a lot. I can’t do [...]

Runnin’
Last night, Alex and I went for a run around Town Lake. It was an easy 4 miles, untimed. We wanted to hang out, and rather than get froyo or a drink, we decided to do it the healthy way (ok, so we didn’t actually talk and make this decision, it was more along the [...]

Let’s Make Up Some Stuff For You to Do
This is Mike’s new M.O. with my training: just combine some stuff and see what happens. Gimpy WOD: 5 x 5 16kg kettlebell step-ups WTF, right? First round was on 24″ box, then moved to 20″ box so that I could fully extend my single leg before bringing the other up. Who knew there was [...]
