AM - 3 miles. PM - 3.5 miles, beat Jake on our usual meet-up route from work so ran a little more. Felt little bits of the "old me" running. Very good sign.
New therapist was good...He compared my strength in a lot of the muscles with a force gauge. The strength numbers were good, and I was within 1% comparing one side to the other. I already suspected that, but it was a good confirmation. This is definitely more of a neuromuscular problem with improper firing of muscles during exercise. I'm starting to get a better grasp on all of this and have come up with some of my own re-training exercises that seem to be working. The therapist gave me some additional things to try as well. He talked about doing a gait motion analysis, but I'm hesitant because I'm not convinced that it will give any useful information. I'll have to think about it more..
