The Unhappy Hiatus

Injuries suck. A lot.
Its been a couple of weeks now since I managed to mess with my shoulder.
Since then my rehab has been 2 steps forward 1 step back. Slow and painful. And I don't have much patience when it comes to injuries in the first place.
But, at last, I seem to be making some progress.
An added benefit of the rehab is that some of the overworked areas are getting a rest. It remains to be seen whether this helps me out later as I attempt to get some real structural balance.
The main thing that you have to accept when injured is that training really is a longterm pursuit. Sure, my goals for the year have had a setback, but if I apply what I've learned during this time, I'm sure I will end up better.
An injury forces you to take stock of where you really are, and find out what mistakes you might be making.
If you use this to your advantage, you can still be successful. Even if it takes another year or two to get there.
