on three on three

No, I’m not writing about the last Star Trek movie to feature the entire original cast. I am talking about yet another new strategy for my hamstring problem. 

This morning my physical therapy appointment further addressed the concept of “working” my leg a little harder. On Friday I was able to literally push harder on my hamstring than I had before (actually I had Emily help), and consequently I had a relatively pain-free weekend. I have been receiving tissue massage at my therapy appointments, but we have avoided working the inflamed area too hard. This might be too soon, but I have noticed an immediate difference in how my leg feels. There is still soreness in my hamstring, but it’s a different kind. I’ll literally keep you all posted on the results.

In other news my friend Dave Lantman sent me this link on strength training. There are a lot of solid exercises to consider, definitely things I will be working on in the coming weeks.   So a shout out to Dave in Colchester Vermont (one area code and it’s 802). http://www.runningplanet.com/training/strength-training.html
