on three on three

Welcome to the good life.

Today I had what I hope is my last physical therapy appointment for a while. I have one scheduled in about two weeks from now, but it is just a precaution. My hope is that I will get to cancel it, but I have no idea how my leg is going respond as I build back up. Today things are feeling pretty good, my leg still has a little bit of tenderness, but no real pain. At my appointment I got the full workup, complete with deep massage, ultrasound, and ice. No pain to speak of during the massage, which was a relief, as I hadn’t tried to find the spot on my own. All-in-all I went to physical therapy for 24 visits, dating back to mid-February. Here is a shout-out to Physiotherapy Associates on New Mexico Avenue for their patience and support during my recovery. In the end, no one is really sure what really caused my leg to heal, but we are all glad it did. Thanks again to all those who worked on me up there, I really appreciate you guys getting me back on the roads.

Training wise, I have run four out of the past six days. Here is the count at this point:

Friday 15th - 3 miles (19:30), on the AU track, video coming soon
Saturday 16th - 0 miles, day of rest for the legs
Sunday 17th - 3 miles (22 mins), up in Baltimore on some trails near Johns Hopkins
Monday 18th - 3 to 3.5 miles (24 mins), Glover Park Trails
Tuesday 19th - 0 miles, feeling a little sore and nervous
Wednesday 20th - 3 to 3.5 miles (26 mins), Glover Park Trails w/ Emily

I’ll probably take the day off today, as my leg will need the extra recovery. My schedule is day-to-day at this point, but I hope to be up to five miles by the end of next week.
