After strong recommendation from Mark Ryan, the PT in Vail, I ordered a water running suit to help alleviate pressure on my hip flexor and more fully utilize the benefits of water running as I heal. It arrived in the mail today just in time to motivate me to go try it out. I felt crappy when I woke up this morning (stuffy nose, body ache, low motivation) and was initially planning on getting the kids off to school, putting Ali in front of a movie and going back to bed but instead I forced myself to the gym to try out my new suit and I'm glad I did. It felt very comfortable and seemed to enable me to utilize my hamstrings and gluts more than my hip flexor, which is what I need right now. It looks pretty silly and I felt like a dork wearing it but who cares. Another bonus is that it kept me warmer which is always nice since I am a cold water wimp. |
