Weekend Update

Yesterday was Go Badgers! times 3 with the basketball, football, and hockey teams all playing.  Jason found the basketball game online for me and I was able to catch most of the second half when I got home from my TRX class.  Anyone know where Kennisaw State is?  Doesn't matter, the Badgers annihilated them.  Shortly after the basketball game ended, the football game started.  Another annihilation.  The hockey team didn't fair so well, but then again, they were playing no. 1 ranked Minnesota (who they just happened to upset on Friday night!).  The game was on tv, which it very rarely is, and it was nice to watch them play for a change.

Friday was Veterans Day.  Veterans Day just happens to be one of GE's holidays so I had the day off.  GE is very pro-Veteran and has a lot of Veteran employees, hence the holiday.  It felt weird to be off on a day when no one else I know was off, but I won't complain about having a 3-day weekend.

Some of you may know about the hip problem I've been having for about 10 months now.  While I've continued to run, it definitely has limited how far and how often I'm able to run.  After months of trying to self-diagnose/treat and waiting to see if it would get better and I finally broke down about a month ago and went to a sports medicine physician.  I really had no idea what to expect as I didn't have any experience with this sort of thing.  I was hoping that the doctor would say the following:  (1) here's what wrong, (2) here's why it happened, and (3) here's how to fix it.  Instead I got an order for PT.  I walked out of my appointment thinking what the hell just happened?  I was told my PT order was good for 30 days and I sat on the decision about whether to actually schedule an appointment for PT for almost 30 days.  I generally think of PT as being for people who are recovering from surgery, etc. and not someone like me, and I was still hoping the pain would just "go away."  I had my first appointment this past Wednesday.  It was a whole new experience for me and it went surprisingly well.  Although, I'm still a little skeptical about the whole PT thing I will try to reserve further judgment until after my next 3 appointments.

It's hard to believe that this time last year Jason and I were in Australia.
