Happy November and welcome to week 17
(week 17 since surgery numero dos)

What did we learn today boys and girls?
We have learned that sometimes not lifting weights allows you to better focus on rehab (I have been pulled from the weight room and placed entirely into rehab/wrestling mode) What does this mean you ask? Well I'd be glad to tell you.

It means some days I will spend three solid hours of my morning in the rehab room doing sometimes 6 sets of exercises that make my legs shake and my heart race. I will then spend another hour-hour and 1/2 in the afternoon doing different exercises to achieve the same goal.

Other days I wil work on wrestling technique (with the dummy) for 2 hours. On tese days I will also bust my ass on the elliptical. At night I will do two hours of the forementioned exercises that induce shaking.

I AM EXHAUSTED.

But my weak ass hamstring is getting stronger. My knee doesn't stop hurting. But I'm not telling Nick (the Athletic Trainer) because he might not let me do somethings.. and damn it I am not getting pulled from anything else. And it doesn't hurt THAT bad.. more a constant nagging pain.. tendonitis? Perhaps.. we shall see...

I am a little tired so I am not going to regale you with a LOOONG story.. just a little one and it's after I was at the OTC not high school..

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

I had been at the OTC for about 6 months when I was visting my friend who was running a wrestling camp. While he was teaching a session I wandered into the weight room at the college where the clinic was going on to get my workout done. I checked in with the main guy and promptly got to work.

There weren't very many people; maybe 3 others which made me happy because I get irritated in busy gyms (more like I get claustrophobic.. but anyway) I was going about my workout happily when some guy starts getting pissed.. I here him mumbling to his buddy "I just can't understand where the weights went.. how do two dumbells walk out of the gym.. how am I supposed to finish lifting"

The dude at the check in desk (which is really just a school desk in the middle of the gym) walks over to him and they start chatting. And the guy is laughing.. he says to the other guy "They aren't missing, the girl of there has them, if you need the 40's ask her to work in".
The angry guy gets a funny look on his face and walks over and asks if he can work in. I tell him I was already done and they are all his; and I go off to do squats.

My buddy walks in after his session and is chatting with the check in guy. He tells the guy who I am and blah blah.. the guy says "The second she picked up the weights I knew she knew what she was doing so I just let her go.. man you should have seen the look on that guy's face when he realized they were using the same weights" Andruw just laughed and laughed.



All in all things are good. I'm getting good (though alternate) workouts in.
I only have 2 months left until I am cleared
I am still talking to super awesome guy (who continues to be super awesome and is currently at a show; i.e. concert)
I am going to take some Alieve
