It’s the IT BAND

September 29, 2008

Yep, not the knee.  Saw someone this morning who said that this is a “condition” and not a “problem”.  Basically I need to stretch a lot and I should be OK.  I am going to see him tomorrow and maybe again this week. Basically I am on my way to Nepal!!!!  I leave Sat.

Hanging in SF

September 25, 2008

Well I decided to rest my leg.  At the end of the day, Nepal is exciting to me and I want my legs to work for it.  So I decided it would be best to come back to SF and see the wife and rest.  I will be leaving on Oct 5 for Nepal and […]

Things I Learned on the Camino

September 15, 2008

Well I am happy to say that I am making my way across the camino. I am not going as fast as I thought I could and my leg still hurts, however I think I will be fine on a few more days (hopefully). I was speaking with a guy (who is 38) and we […]

I stella in Estalla

September 8, 2008

If you know spanish you might get my title (or it just might be good in my head) Well I have knee problems.  After 5 days of hiking I have gone to a doctor and rested today.  The doc does not speak english, but I gather its NOT a knee problem but rather a muscle problem.  […]
