It is time to confront the beginning efforts of wogging. Since the plasma rich therapy by the orthopedic surgeon in February, my knees have only given me a few problems (relevant to skiing like someone just recently escaped from an insane asylum), and my hamstring (sitting place) has behaved nicely. But again I have not tested it by running or even walking more than a mile (which hurt later). I can however, stand up after sitting for an extended period without asking for help from my assistant or rolling my chair into a co worker's office to ask for a push or a pull or falling out of my chair on purpose near my filing cabinets so I can use the handles to pull myself up (when no one is around... except the people walking by your office window who come running in from outside with panic on their faces because they think you have had a heart attack). Anyway.... Now that I am pretty sure Tuesday was my last ski day (since it snowed like 47 inches) and I took off all the days I could to be in it (I hate to admit it, but I finally broke down and got some rockin' powder skis and the memory of them brings stinging little tears to my eyes to remember the times we shared.... Until next winter S110's -- adieu). So since February, I've been on the elliptical 30 minutes a day (plus my regular routine of 50 girl push ups, 300 sit ups, light weights, Botsu stuff, and the horribly painful PT stretching). So, today after I was all warmed up from the elliptical I felt like I was ready to switch over to my treadmill just for kicks. So I put the thing on 15 M/M and jogged--it felt fine. In fact, it felt great. But I had to contain myself and against my will I kept it slow until I was done. I could have jogged further and faster, but glad I didn't. Because the second I stepped off the treadmill I could feel my hamstring tendon (from the back of my knee to my sitting bone) absolutely throbbing. So weird. I never felt it while I was running, I was so elated to jogging. |
