1 mile walk in the morning with the dog.
My right hip and buttock have been bothering me for several days as well as my left knee, so I finally gave in and set up an appointment this afternoon for the chiropractor. When he started working on my back, glutes and piriformis, I realized I had waited too long to get in there. He gave me some stretches to do to try and keep the piriformis loose and told me to quit sitting on my wallet - especially now that I am working two IT jobs where I sit a lot. It was windy out, so I headed to the gym for a treadmill workout because I wanted to work on pace some more and that is hard to do with a headwind. 1 mile warmup at 5 mph. Then I kicked it up to 7 mph and every .10 mile I dropped the speed .1 mph. When I got to 5.9 mph, I kicked it up to 6.7 mph and started all over again. Finally, at a total of 3.75 miles, did a cooldown. Lots of stretching and hip flexibility work afterwards. Another mile walk with the dog as a final cooldown. Iced the hip.
