Friday PT and?
Writing this on Friday, so don't know yet!
Monday I ran OUTDOORS and loved it. Just around BP. It's unseasonably warm so I couldn't resist the temptation. Felt great, HR was below MAF (although that wasn't a target) and cadence was 168. Kinda low.
Tuesday, extra bike miles instead of gym ratting :) Noted that Puppy's chain was slapping the stay due to slack in the upper chain. Dr Google says free hub sticky.
Wednesday gait analysis! 6-7 min run trying to run normal under observation. JB noted slow cadence 164-165 and lots of hip/pelvic movement. More details later. Also got ASTYM, petichial bruising was immediate! More colors came later. The treatment was for that painful feeling I have from medial quads down to the knee. Especially when I step up on to something, it feels weak so I don't know if it's mental or physical.
Thursday I finally broke the bad no-swim streak! And my first keto swim. (Oh and finally confirmed that I'm in ketosis with my new meter). I did elliptical and almost talked myself out of swimming. But remembered it was the solstice and wanted to reverse this bad course. Glad I did, felt good and hit my goal of 1 hr at the gym. No bike commute, as Pupps gets dropped off to BigShark. Then off to West Co for my bone scan. Spine improved 4.8% (is that a meaningful measurement?) and hip about the same.
Friday PT and some gait analysis results: Lots of hip tilting on both sides, pronation on both feet especially right side, left elbow comes too far back across towards midline and too high, legs seem to be too close (like my knees could bump). Eeek! More details next year. Then ASTYM, then off to Dr L for a back-to-back session. I wondered what he'd say about ASTYM bruising (I hear he's not a huge fan, and it's not recommended to pile these soft tissue treatments up on each other) but he didn't note it. I mentioned odd feeling in back of right side ribs (Low "C+" thoracic rotation) which he worked on. He's quite amazing at quickly locating The Spot that hurts! That improved quickly. Then I mentioned the gait analysis and he checked the C5/C6 region, again found The Spot and ZING down the arm through the nerves! Ow, but cool how that works. We discussed this pile-up of injuries, his theory at first was that my body is overworked. I mentioned the Disney and nutritional issues, and he agreed -- my body just couldn't keep up. And we think I should be pulling out of the hole here soon.
Probably won't get to update this until next year or late December. I leave Sunday the 24th for home! The plan is to keep up a daily run or swim workout, have a PT exercise and plyo plan, Keep On Keto'ing, and get as much family time as possible!
