If you read my other site, there's no need to read this. It's the same thing I posted over there. But since I want to keep all running stuff together, and use this as a journal, I needed to post it here as well.
So I survived my fist session. I was real impressed with the therapist and look forward to going back on Wednesday.
Things we found out today:
* i have tiny knee caps (awww...how cute!)
* i have surprisingly (to her!) weak hips
* how wonderful my husband is - he offered to take over a lot at home in order to help my knees
* my groin pull (didn't know girls had groins b/f this!) is directly related to my bad knee. I figured that.
* i have to ice my knee every night and get a special brace (Forest Gump type?? thankfully not!)
* THE KILLER - I have to stop running. FOR NOW. just until the therapy is over, she'll tell me when I can start back up.
* i can no longer do any lower body exercises, no lunges, no squats... :o(
This is going to be a tough month. I'm sure most would love to be told not to work out. It's killing me. But in the long run, this will help me to run marathons again! Though i may just stick to half marathons.
