Physio this morning : exercises, bike and hydrotherapy pool......plus I can now walk/jog each day, stopping the jog part if there's any hip flexor pain; in fact I can do what I want, within reason, but....again must stop if any sign of pain in the groin area. I call that very good news!
Starting tomorrow, then, I'll do the 5km or 8km loop that I've been walking, depending on how my leg feels, in a jog/walk routine and hope for the best outcome.
I've see that the YMCA of Canberra Runners Club have their half marathon on May 19 this year, so I think that's what I'll aim for. Too late for the half in April. It's exactly 28 days today since my last training session, but only in the last week have I decided to get some treatment, thinking rest alone would fix the problem. If only I'd gone to the physio sooner!
Anyhow....there we are - or rather, there I am - on the comeback once again, with an easy, slow and careful approach! I haven't the time or interest in being injured again!
Woo hoo that really is excellent news. Now take it gently!!
ReplyDeletePS: I think the half marathon on 19 May is the Rex Faulks Half which is about a month after the Canberra Half. It will be great if you can run that one:)
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the one I was thinking of,thanks Ruth; hope to make it!
