Today’s Workout: PT exercises
Hey everyone, it’s that time again!
1. So first I want to apologize that I haven’t posted as much lately! Fieldwork started this week for my occupational therapy graduate program and its been a whirlwind. I’m acclimating to the environment, to treating patients on my own (ahh!), and the workload. I’ll prepare better in the future so I don’t leave you all hanging like this! If you are so inclined, you can follow me on twitter in order to keep up with me a bit better. Also, send me tweets if you want, I love to chat 
The wicked witch actually got crushed by the weight of grad school workload! I didn’t take this photo FYI! I found it online.
2. I’m taking some time off from running. I am both happy and sad about this. Honestly I haven’t done much of anything this week in terms of fitness for the reasons I described in my first “thing” (I haven’t had a minute to breathe this week). Boo I stink for not working out enough! But I am going to spin class tomorrow.
I also have been going to PT religiously and my therapist has me do a ton of squats and lower body strengthening. Goodie goodie! Now this is my area of weakness (obviously based on the state of my knee) so its a lot of work for me. I’m thinking that between the rest and the PT, maybe this IT Band will leave me the heck alone for good! I do need to start training for the Reach the Beach relay I’m running in October so I’ll have to come up with a training plan soon for the summer (any training plan ideas for a relay?). So exciting!
I LOVE this place!
3. This weekend is my dad’s birthday and its also fathers day! Since my Dad is the greatest (not just my opinion, its fact! . I got him a great gift to celebrate. I can’t tell you all what it is yet in case he reads this but I think he will like it. It’ll be a good addition to the “dad cave” we are trying to set up in my parent’s basement. The man needs a space to watch the Yankees in peace! I am planning on a whole fathers day post just to tell you all a bit more about how awesome my dad is. But I just wanted to say thanks to my dad for always being there for me and for always being so selfless. What do you love about your dad?
