Physical Therapy

I started physical therapy today to try to get rid of the nagging leg pain I've been having.

They are REALLY serious about you being on time to your appointments. They had a long list of all the finer points of their attendance policy for you to read and sign. Then they gave me another copy of it to take home. Ok, I get it. I'll be on time. Luckily it is 12 blocks from my apartment, so I don't have to rely on any transportation to get there (other than my own 2 feet!).

The therapist was really nice, and she gave me lots of stretches to work on for the week. She told me that there is not an overnight solution to my problem. It will take time and, and our goal will be to delay onset of the pain when I run. Now it usually pops up after 2 miles. Hopefully soon it will take 3 miles, and then 4 miles, and so on. I hope it will soon take after 26.2 miles before I feel the pain, and I don't plan on running any longer than that!
