Blackberry Thumb

Static Stats:
Running: training for 1/2
Riding: staring in fear at my track bike

This week has brought about an interesting injury. Your gonna like this one. I have blackberry thumb. Basically its tendinitis in my thumb. Tendinitis is a result of overuse. I have been over using my thumb via text messaging and emailing using my blackberry. I have trouble opening things and my thumb actually hurts.

Initially I thought I had arthritis. I'm glad to know its not the case. I can't believe how old I've been feeling lately. It takes forever to recover from a hard effort on the bike or during a run. I think I'm beginning to feel the affects of having been relatively active all my 32 years.

You know what? Blackberry Thumb sounds like a yummy summer dessert!! haha!! (this of course is coming from your pregnant sister who associates everything with food)
Hope your thumb feels better...it's still pretty funny though, I have to admit :)
