HGH Injections and more

Well, the NCAA season is over. Tennis officiating is a great hobby of mine, but at times, it can get a little hard when we have several weekends in a row of intense tennis. I am leaving next week for Hilton Head to improve my skills in the chair. It should be fun!

Spring is here, and the outdoors is much more enjoyable. The pool is open, and I have been biking most days as a commuter. With gas prices at their levels, I estimate I save $70 or more a month and get a workout.

I went to see a specialist about my knee last week. Nothing alarming but nothing positive either. I explained that the good thing about the injury was that I knew when it happened, and that was 10 weeks ago, so it could not be an over-training issue. It just drags on like a bad sprain. We opted to go with the HGH injection option instead of going right to the MRI immediately. I have not run all week. The knee does not hurt, but I took two weeks off, and it did not hurt either.

I have had some fun occupying my time testing the 405 against the 305. (Garmin) After the first few days, I hated the 405 with a passion… This was more of the frustration of not knowing where all the settings were and trying to use the online Garmin Connect. The sync to the online system is terrible. Error after error. Then, I decided to load it into the Training Center, which was solid. I again found the topography to be much more accurate with the 405. As I reported earlier, it seems strange, but there must be something to gain better readings.

I am looking forward to running next week. Hope the injections are all it takes, but I am still a little nervous. Will have to take it one day at a time.

Carry on…
