Graduating from college and venturing out into the real world, I had a few serious concerns. On the top of that list was “How will I workout?” At that point, I’d managed to stay fit and healthy by listening to what others told me to do- my track coaches and, later, my good friend/workout buddy/personal

I posted a little something a few weeks ago about the differences between tendonitis and tendonosis. I think this topic is worth an entire blog because it’s just that important.
