After almost 4 weeks off, I received clearance on Monday to resume running. I did run 1-2 miles last week to see how things felt and after a few adjustments, Dr. Potter decided to let me run.
My first 1.5 miles on Wed felt great in my left leg (the injured one) but my right knee hurt and I kept kicking my left shin with my right foot! Never have had this problem before! Apparently Dr Potter has done enough adjusting that my body needed a little time to reconfigure itself and after about half a mile my coordination returned and I felt fine.
Ran 3.77 miles this morning at a 9:19 pace and it felt great! I did have one twinge in the last mile so I walked for a few blocks and then picked up the run again and my piriformis felt fine. It is a little tight this evening but have been doing some stretching. Will have to be careful to not add too many miles too quickly!!!! Luckily I have lots of training partners to keep me in check and keep me grounded! Gotta love my outspoken team members! Always trying to keep me for making dumb decisions about my workouts!
Will do a run/walk tomorrow with the 7:30am group tomorrow, just down to Riverside and back. Probably take Bruno along so I have company and he will keep me from doing too much as I don’t think he is very fit! Good training for both of us!
