50 minutes swimming with just arms in Lehi Legacy lap pool. First time doing this in front of a swimming crowd, so that was a joy. One length was typically 43 sec, and 43 strokes, and about 1.5 minutes back and forth which includes turn around time. Right forearm started to hurt last 20 minutes but did better I think when I straightened my arm. I liked when the old man was next to me and I could go faster than him. I didn't like when a younger man started using that same lane and was smoking me. I realized I need goggles if I am going to do this long term. Stomach started to turn at around 40 minutes, perhaps due to the water I swallowed when trying to swim freestyle (only did three lengths, and those weren't even in a row, I am horrible at it). Weight sucks. Perhaps now that I am out of tax season I can do a morning and evening workout to try to keep weight down. PM: PT appt: e-stim/heat on ham and SI area
ultrasound on ham and SI area massage - ham and SI area walk on treadmill 5 min 30 total gym squats three ways (even, left leg up, right leg up)
6:30 on tramp, 30 sec easy, 30 sec hard stretching in stretching cage three way ham lunge touch 1 min walk/ 1 min run on treadmill x5, then 3 minutes more walk (speed walking 4mph, running 7mph, focus on running on balls of feet, as Steve says, like Tinkerbell) Massage on ham Ice Soreness in SI area at a 2 before, still a 2 as I go to bed. Not pain, just can feel that there's still something there. Diagnosis from Steve Orrock: tendonotrophy (long term tendonitis) where ham meets sitting bone, so ham and other related muscles tighten up and pull downward on the sacrum or other pelvic bone? and makes my SI joint not have full range of motion or stability. Says ham is primary issue causing SI issue. Makes sense.
