Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast.  Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else.

So, I’ve gotten an injury.  Luckily, although painful, the injury won’t keep me off my feet.  I still don’t quite understand how the injury occurred.  A couple of weeks ago my husband and I went away for a couple of days for our anniversary.  As listeners of the podcast may know, I am an avid reader.  So, while we were in the car I read.  When we got home my shoulder was bothering me, but I didn’t really think about it.  I put the TENS machine on the shoulder to try and loosen it up.  After a couple of days, it was better.  However, then we went on a couple hour drive for an event we were attending.  Again, I read in the car.  The next day I couldn’t even move my shoulder.  On the way home, while reading, I felt it tightening up and kept changing positions, but apparently not enough.  Yep – believe it or not – I hurt my shoulder reading!  Ugh!

I am wondering if this related back to the swimming issue I had a year ago January which I went to physical therapy for and thought was resolved.  I will be doing my PT exercises again during this training cycle.  At least it isn’t keeping me from getting out on my feet.

We have had so much rain in the area lately although it has been spotty.  There have been times when one spot will get a couple of inches and another spot just a few miles away will not have any rain.  It is so strange.  It has also made it difficult to get out on the trails.  Between not knowing if it is going to storm and the trails being very wet from the rain, it limits trail activity.  Luckily the training plan only requires one trail workout a week.  It’s usually a long one – at least 3 hours and usually longer for me, so fitting in it to the schedule and watching the weather is an ongoing project each week.

Thanks for joining me this week.  Be sure to check our show notes for links to inspiration items and …  don't forget to stop and smell the roses.
