Hi HSB - I think you have broken links there.

Yup, looks like your links are not going anywhere

But my links work, right? Ha, I got to use the "link smiley!"

Nice post Laura! My left MCL is a lot like your latest niggle. Active recovery definitely helps, but it's tricky figuring out just how much is too much, and which kinds of exercise are good or bad for it. I've been surprised to find that squats and leg extensions actually seem to help it, and that rest in general, as you point out, may actually hinder the healing process. A few weeks ago the MCL would bother me after a run, especially when I lay down to go to bed, but lately the post-run soreness is almost completely non-existent .

Looks like it is all working now?

Great post, Laura! I'm squarely in the camp that says the healing is in the motion and "wer rastet der rostet", a rolling stone gathers no moss, lol.

I do believe that one of your recent comments along those lines is one of the things that helped me to think this through differently than I had before.
