Went to the gym and did 45 min on elipitical, kinda bothered my leg a little but not too bad. I was SOOO BORED on it. I need a good 15 mi on saturday mornings, not the stinkin elipitical, plus there is mirrors everywhere and I am ghostly white! Not a pretty site to look at! I like running outside, I dont have to comb my hair or worry about my white legs cuz I cant see myself when I am out running! So if I look scary I would have no idea, ignorance is bliss.
I am going to go get a deep tissue today on my leg, I have been icing and heating all yesterday and this morning and will continue to do so. I hope the massage is a miracle worker and loosens me up, cuz I NEED to run!!!
UPDATE: Just got back from my deep tissue and SHE IS A MIRACLE WORKER!!! Let me just put a shout out to April Larsen, she is an awesome thereapist and really knows her stuff. She was able to exactly target the areas that are the root of the problem and work specifically on them and relieve the tightness. I had several VERY deep knots that she said she could tell they had been there for a VERY long time. I kinda felt a little embarassed that I have gone this long and never had a true deep tissue. Its the same thing when you go get a pedicure and you know you have not been taking proper care of your feet!She says it no suprise that it hurt to run on it. I told her her how my hips get torked and I feel lopsided and that I go to the chiro to get adjusted frequently. Well she says she loves chiros but my hip issue is a result of the muscles being tight and pulling. She worked that out and I already can feel a difference.WOW! My leg feels so much better although I can tell i will be a little sore tomorrow. She also said I could feel pretty exhausted because my body has been so tight and tense that relieving all that will finally let my body relax. I AM SO HAPPY that steve recommended her to me. I may need to go back a couple more times if necesarry and then I am going to mantain by going once a month to her, its so worth it!!!!!!!!!! |
