Personal:
I am a former runner who took the sport back up about 3 1/2 years ago. In the preceeding 20+ years I was a 2 pack a day smoker and the only excercise I recieved was summer softball. Needless to say; it was time for a change.
LOL. I guess the way I wrote that it is a little unclear. Counting Crows is the band I was listening to during my run today. Good thing I wasn't listening to the Bare Naked Ladies today. That would have really raised your eyebrows. :) Have you seen the Doctor yet?
Ok, sorry, not to "IN" to music...and the Bare Naked Ladies would have raised an eyebrow and push the pace really hard... ;)
No doc yet...I think I'll skip...don't know anybody trustworthy and I'm tired of the "we'll do 10 sessions ($25 each) and then see your progress" B.S . they always give here. But I'm feeling very well. I'll be doing a easy run on saturday, if all goes well, then restart of monday...how is that to you?
Sounds like a pretty good plan. Just make sure to back off if you feel anything in the same area. I know your half is coming up at what must feel like breakneck speed, but think long term. You don't want to end up missing a couple of months. I can totaly relate to the doctors. When it comes to soft tissue injuries they don't seem to know any more than the patient. Are you using heat on the area now? I try to go by the adage of ice for the first 3 days and then heat.
I'm alternating heat & Ice, just at night time. By the way, this rest has also helped my achilles tendon issues.
On the HM crawling around the corner, yeah, I can hear the footsteps. I want to run it, not race it. Feel the run, enjoy it. Do a simple time...we'll leave good time for later.
