NRLFW: work out A. Squat PR - 110 lbs.

Sports podiatrist diagnosed me with tenosynavitus (inflammation of sheath around tendon in my foot). Its feeling great now. But he watched me on the treadmill and concluded that my medial glut is probably underperforming, like many runners. Glut max is strong, but the glut med controls thigh rotation, which ultimately controls where my foot lands. 

Anyway, so I added some glut med exercises: clam shells, lateral leg raises and single leg half-squats, making sure that I dont drop the opposing hip. Man, really felt what my Glut med was the next day!

45 mins exercise bike. My least favorite cardio, until I started going bonkers with the pool running. Better than nothing apparently, and sports ped guy said he preferred this to elliptical for my foot. 

 

Foot discomfort went up after he massaged it last friday. Down to <1 in perceivable discomfort (virtually nothing). Im trying to hold off for a few more days. They wont make a difference fitness wise (much, anyway) but will make a difference in whether I can come back safely or not.
