In search of....


I have been using a tensor bandage to wrap my thigh during runs and when I get sore. I really like the way I can control the pressure. I have a hamstring wrap.... it's got velcro, it's very thick and cumbersome, and occasionally requires adjusting.

For purely aesthetic reasons, I would like to have a tensor bandage that is black. I think that it would look much better when I am wearing black bottoms. I would appreciate any help with this! Please leave a message in the comment section if you have any info!

Yesterday was beautiful! I got in a 5 mile, pain free, run.

It is so hard not to give into the temptation of running farther and faster. I am committed to my recovery and must do what it takes........ even though it sucks @$$!!!! : )

I wonder if some RIT dye would make the bandage black? Or maybe a permanent marker??? I'm a huge fan of using permanent markers to alter the appearance of whatever I choose. :)

Stay committed to your recovery. What you do in the short term will determine what you get to do in the longer term!

Hi Leslie

I couldn't imagine colouring the whole thing with magic marker!!! tee hee.... my legs would turn black by the end of the run, with all my sweat!!!

Thanks for the encouragement!
