Injury Report

I've run only once in the past three weeks. I think that rest is finally helping. I wasn't so sure it was after only a week or two, but I guess the injury just needed more time. In addition to rest, I'm now doing physical therapy two times per week. I've gone twice so far, and I've got two more sessions booked. My insurance authorized only four visits. My physical therapist has got me doing a lot of stretching. Much more stretching than I was doing. She also has got me doing various strengthening exercises that target my weak muscles. Apparently, I have very weak gluteal muscles on my right side. To determine my muscle weaknesses, she had me lay on my stomach with my leg bent at 90 degrees. She then instructed me to lift my leg straight up, as far as it could go, and to hold it there as she pushed down on the bottom of my foot. Needless to say, I couldn't hold it there, and she couldn't budge my left leg. The only thing she has got me doing at home is the stretching two times per day (five 30-second sets). She told me that I should introduce light running at the end of next week.

I finally discovered some new music. Listen below for a great song (Grown Ocean) and music video by Fleet Foxes.
