Rehab day As I was stretching this morning, something in my mid back spasmed. Pain when I breathe and tightness from my mid-back all the way up into my neck. Good thing I had already scheduled an appointment with Dr. Tim this morning. He adjusted my back, ribs, neck, hips, and ankles. He also did e-stim, laser, and some serious deep tissue massage on my right calf. And then after the kids were in bed tonight I went in for a fully body massage at Massage Envy. My favorite therapist, Agata got in a fight with the muscles in my mid back and beat 'em good. The good news is that my right calf and achilles are recovering well and I no longer hobble when I walk. I still have a few days of bodily recovery before I'll start running again though. Coach mandates that we take the entire week after a marathon completely off. Even the second week after the race he only wants us running 2-4 times. He and Colleen follow the same ritual. I think its wise to allow my body some time to recover and take a break from things, so I'm happy to oblige. |
