On the Comeback -- I Hope!
Manage episode 373470654 series 3206769
Things have been progressing regarding my stiff, injured left hip. Physical therapy is making a difference. (shoutout to Optimum Physio Sports) for being the one place that has accurately addressed my dang issue. I've been through another PT program that is famous and starts with an "A," along with a buncha sessions with chiropractors. The truth is, none of them solved the issue until now.
I go in twice a week and these folks put me through my paces: hip lift circles, bridges and much more. I count those days as a workout because, hey, I sweat and it's HARD.
Still, it is useful and the therapists are empathetic when I tell them that I love 50Ks and have tackled 50 milers and 100ks.
Today (Sunday), I managed to run a mile without stopping, which is HUGE. I didn't get winded or need to sit down somewhere.
I hope this lasts because I am sooooo ready to return to my Happy Place: trail running.
