PT update — I went to physical therapy the other day and apparently my back is messing with my right leg. It seems that when I run, I over rotate my upper body to the left (counter clockwise) so one side of my back is a bit stronger than the other — no need for hunch back jokes. Anyways, long story short…I now have back exercises to help my leg. I’ll be doing PT for a little while…and I’m still running (thankfully).
…
After my PT session today (second one), I ran for 5 miles on the treadmill. At first, it didn’t feel all that good but then realizing I needed to rotate clockwise, I decided to change my gaze to the right. I found that by looking at 2 o’clock, my leg didn’t seem to hurt as much. Is it psychological? Is it physical? both? I don’t know but i figure I’ll keep doing these exercises and keep looking towards 2 o’clock. Weather permitting, I might shoot for a 14miler this wknd.
