Bursitis

I finally went to the urgent care to see what was up with my elbow. Nothing broken, the doctor said that I have olecranon bursitis and should use RICE. And she had the medical assistant wrap it with an ace bandage. She told me to see a hand specialist if it's not better in a week or two. By the time I got home my fingers were purple from my arm being wrapped and I felt a little like frankenstein. So, we will see if the swelling goes down. 

Today in parkour we each chose something that we wanted to work on and were our own coaches. I worked on doing a 360 turn on the low rail, which I can do about 20% of the time. I like to step backwards half way around and then spin around the other half of the way, going on the balls of my feet. After we practiced things, we had a chance to show each other, and explain what we learned. And, I had one of my times that I did it right in front of people, and finished with perfect balance :). It was pretty awesome. The secret is really bending the knees and keeping your core and hips over the bar. After class we went for lunch and had a fun time chatting about life and parkour and such. Parkour people are cool.

I got home and thought that maybe I could get back into running if I was just running a mile. I mean, it's just a mile, and I decided I could go as slow as I wanted. That didn't sound too hard. I was already in my workout clothes, so I ran up the street to the corner and back, which turned out to be .96 mile. My average pace was 11 minutes and 26 seconds, but some of the time when I looked at my watch I was running less than a 10 minute mile. Other times, I was running a 13 minute mile, so that balanced it out.

I did day 12 of yoga today - I feel like I can do the full month, and it's been really nice!
