The Running Run-Down and New Plan

  • May 3 - First run. Six minutes on the Alter-G (no pain or issues after)
  • May 8 - Four x 30 seconds of running on the TM with a new PT followed by a bunch of manual stretching and massage. No pain with running, but didn't feel quite ready to be running.
  • May 9-14 - Crampy, awful pain in the hip flexor radiating in all directions. Psoas super tight up into my abdomen. Everything hurt. Stopped blogging, too crabby. Tried lots of ice, heat, slow cyling, light stretching, rolling and nothing helped
  • May 14 - Life saving massage! First massage I ever cried during. Psoas so tight and painful, tears, relief ughhhh.
  • May 15 - First pain free day in a week. Light yoga.
  • May 16 - Getting achy again, but okay. Light cycling.
  • May 17 - Manual stretching and massage at PT. My PT then tricked me onto the treadmill so he could evaluate my "walking" and then cranked it up so I would run. Ran three x 30 seconds or so and felt awesome! PT doesn't want to see me for a month since I am so obviously burned out on all the therapy. I am supposed to chill out and just start running two times a week. I know what I need to do at this point.  
  • May 18 - Slight soreness/achiness from running, but went away as the day went on. I've been contemplating getting back into climbing, so I spent a few hours at the climbing gym, which I think was great for the hip!

Three minutes of walking alternating with 30 seconds of RUNNING times 6. I added on an extra minute of running on the last one because the 30 seconds goes by really fast. Left side feels weak and I don't feel like my glute is firing well on that side, but no other complaints.
