Endure and persist; this pain will turn to your good. - Ovid
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. - Romans 5:1-5

| Despite morning the Packer game, I managed to roll out of bed this morning and face the grim, cruel world. Well, it's not that bad. I'm done with my "complete" time off, and resumed activity today. Walked to the gym and did 15 minutes on the recumbent bike, and then some weight lifting. Kept everything pretty light, and a similar regime to what I did in PT for my groin strain.
- 2-minutes leg press @ 90 lbs (82 reps)
- 2x15 adductors @ 70 lbs
- 2x15 abductors @ 70 lbs
- 2x13 lat pulldowns @ 90 lbs
- 1x20 arm curls @ 20 lbs
I have to see how my body responds to this, but my goal is strengthen my leg muscles.

Did 20 minutes of spinning at the gym. Then lifted weights for lower body (upper body is still sore from bench press): - 2 minutes leg press @ 105 lbs (83 reps)
- 1x15 adductors @ 70 lbs
- 1x15 adductors @ 80 lbs
- 1x15 abductors @ 70 lbs
- 1x15 abductors @ 80 lbs
The hamstring is slowly but surely getting better. I can jog around at about 10-minute pace without much discomfort...for about 20 meters anyway. I have a referral to PT and will start that on Monday for good measure. This should help insure that what the source problem is, it will be fixed, lower my chances of reinjury. Better safe than sorry.

| Wasn't feeling any pain, so I tried running a little bit. Did half a mile very slow. Could have been better, could have been worst. It's definitely not ready though, as I had some pain during the run. In any case, it is a beautiful day today, with sunshine, melting snow, and clear air. | | Comments(3) |
