Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow

Went to physical therapy in the morning. Did heat pack and ultrasound again, and stretched out a little. Then did some exercises: 4-way hip with the theraband, hamstring curls with the stability ball, leg raises while laying on my belly (works the glutes), rolling around in a chair, and 10 minutes on the stair-stepper (which I'll count as a cross-training mile). It was all actually fairly tiring. I'll keep doing these exercises at home every day, since I've got therabands, a stability ball, and an office chair at my disposal. I go again to PT on next Friday. If things are going well, and I don't imagine I'll need to go much more after that. Kinda costs a lot of money, since I still have to pay my deductible. Most of this stuff I can do on my own, I think it's worth it to have a little bit of guidance and oversight.

I ran about 100 meters on the sidewalk on my way to get coffee later in the morning. I didn't feel any pain. Shoveling snow didn't feel too bad either, which is good since we got about 8 inches last night. I may try running a mile tomorrow.
