Update on injury

Zeitler cleared me to start doing some running again (well, walk-running for 10 minutes at a time) after I reported to him today that over the past 4 or 5 days I've been feeling some improvement in my injury. It took 6 visits over about 3 weeks for the treatments to start bearing fruit (today was my 7th visit). I guess that's pretty good considering that it takes 8 to 16 weeks to turnover the damaged tissue and, in worst case scenarios, 8 to 16 MONTHS to return back to running from tendinosis. He also has emphasized that, in some cases, tendinosis is career-ending...especially of the high hamstring (which I don't have). However, I'm not worried that this might be the case here, though. Anyway, all of this makes me pretty happy and hopeful that I'll be back in action in relatively short order. In the meantime, I'll continue to bike, water run, etc.
