Maybe its my fitness training that makes me think pain is good, but atleast you know something is happening.  When you feel nothing it can set doubts in your mind as to wheather you will ever be able to use your hand again.  Mental pain is so hard to deal with, give my physical pain anytime!!!

I think im on the road to setting a record of healing really fast.  You would hardly know i had broken my arm or fractured my back 1 week ago.  Im trying really hard to not lose much strength in my body.  Im doing one legged squats, and loads of other balance exercises without weights to try and keep some strength in my legs and core, also my secret  to recovery is VISUALIZATION.

I go to Engadine (st moritz, swtizerland) today to watch my contest im suppose to be doing.  Im going to use it as a learning tool by watching riders and their line selection.  Im using visualization as a technique to train my body(i know to most of you this doesnt sound right) but it works.  Studies show that using our mind and thinking about training can strengthen our muscles.  one study showed that the group lifting weights over a 3 week period developed 28% strength gain and the group that visualized and didnt lift weight developed a 23% gain............................................the mind is powerfull.
