Strangely, I've been looking forward to the off season quite a bit.  It is probably because I struggled with injuries so much this season.  My injuries weren't that serious, just a pulled IT band and a dislocated rib.  The rib was probably the most frustrating though because it took 6 weeks for someone to figure out what was wrong!  But anyway, now the off season has finally begun and I can start working toward next season!  This season (2009) wasn't really going to be a big season anyway because I started medical school at Michigan State.  So I kind of figured that I should focus on school and see what it was all about before trying to commit to a serious season.  But now I have survived the first semester of medical school and I feel very, very lucky and happy that I chose MSU because they actually want us to exercise!  They gave out free passes to the IM facilities as MSU!  I managed to get one of those, and it will make my off season training so much easier because now I have access to spin classes.  But most of all I'm excited to have an off season with a coach.  Especially a coach like Jimi who knows what I want to achieve and understands my drive.  So here is to the beginning of a great off season!
