Ran 1.5 miles with Samuel and Joseph (first .9 with Samuel, pushing Joseph and Adam in the jogging stroller, last .6 with both Samuel and Joseph, pushing only Adam). Then did another 2.5 miles alone, nice easy pace. It still feels weird to be running slower, but perhaps I am getting some benefit from it here and allowing my body to heal up a bit. I did not experience any pain in my knee today while running, although I could feel my hip tightening up. I went back and looked at the diagrams of the trigger points and referred pain from www.painclinic.com, and am trying to figure out what is ailing me for sure. I know that I have pain at the outside of my knee and in my butt, but when Lybi tries to get the trigger point, it seems like it is right around the origin of the hamstrings (on the ischium, just above the ischial tuberosity). Weird. I still haven't seen a PT, and our neighbor from across the street is actually one. I just have to find out what our out of network benefits are. Probably ought to do that . . .
On a side note, we have decided to head up to Utah for the weekend, and Lybi will be taking my place in the Provo City 1/2 marathon. Go Lybi! I will be her faithful cheerleader this time. We are also hoping to have Josse do some scrapping on my leg to see if it will help. |
