Good workout. I am going to try a run tomorrow. It will be
3 weeks tomorrow since the injury. Hope it goes ok. I'm
actually nervous about it. I'm afraid I'm still not recovered
all the way. If I feel pain I'm going to stop immediately.

Recovering???

Went to the physical therapist again today. He worked with
me for about 20 minutes. Felt a bit better afterwards.
I seem to be getting better. I am looking at maybe Sunday
or Monday to go for a run so I can see how it really is.
I think I will do some elliptical and biking tomorrow and
Saturday. It will be 3 weeks Sunday since I last run. This
is by far the longest I have gone with out running since
I started in 2004.

Treatment

I ended up getting in today for my treatment on my back. They
had some cancellations. I was glad to get in. The PT guy worked
on me for about 45 minutes. Lots of twisting, pulling and pushing.
I'm pretty sore know. Too early to say if it helped. They have me
scheduled for two more treatments. This Thursday and next
Friday. Hopefully this will resolve my problem.
He also showed me some stretches he wants me to do.
Piriformis stretch, prone press-up, pelvic clock and hamstring
stretch. He said my flexibility was not all that good. So I will
work on it. He was optimistic that I will be running again soon.
Hopefully after Thursdays visit will have a better idea of when.

Doctors Visit

Finally went to see the doctor today. My diagnosis is lower
back injury. I need to see a chiropractor to get some adjustments.
The doctor said probably one or two visits and I should be fine.
I have a appointment for Friday afternoon. That was the soonest
I could get in. I wish I could do it today. I want to get better
as soon as possible. I hope to still run the Grand Island Trail
Marathon on July 25. It's a ways off yet so if I get this fixed
I should be fine. I might not be as fit as I would have been but
at this point I'm just going to be happy to be running again.

Wrightstown Bike Ride

28 Miles 1:30 18 mph avg.
9:00 am) sunny 50's
Rode with the Ryan group. Was around 25 of us.
First time in two years I have rode my road bike.
I had to wipe of the dust and pump up the tires. I
did pretty well considering I am not in biking shape.
I kept up with the group the whole ride. The seat
got a little uncomfortable towards the end. I will
have to get used to that again.
My injury felt fine. Biking does not seem to aggravate
it. My quads will probably be sore tomorrow. It was fun
to get in some exercise and talk with friends. I will
do this again.

Well I'm not getting any worse but not any better either.
I called doctors office today. Need to know what is going
on so I can fix this. Secretary said the doctor is pretty
booked up next week but will call me Monday and let me
know when the soonest I can get in.
