So I am active again which is good. My Dr has ordered me to get X-rays before he does any further treatment. It could be a spinal something or other ( I don't remember the name) a stress fracture or just the pulled muscle that attaches my leg,butt and groin together with lots of scar tissue build up. Either way its fixable! Whoo hoo:)
Currently I ice 3 times a day, stretch a lot and take Ibprofen. Which is all helping a little. I can't really run until I'm healed so I am power walking. Which gets my heart rate up and works me out a bit:) I joined my training group this last Sunday. They ran 8 miles to recover from their 16 mile run last week (that I power walked 3 miles). But this week was fun!
Reenah is such an amazing teammate. She walked with me almost the entire time! We did intervals the same as when we run/walk except when it was time to walk we power walked faster. It was fun! At mile 4 they served us water and had snacks for us. They had Ritz crackers, peanut butter and pickles. I wasn't brave enough to try it so I ate a cracker with a pickle instead. LOL Reenah loves them tho! LOL
At the water stop we picked up a runner with us who needed to walk due to an injury. She was awesome! A singer like me:) Through conversation we found that we are both currently working on getting a lounge/restaurant gig singing standards and show tunes. It was really nice getting to know her. Reenah ran the rest of the way once I had someone else to walk with. (Thanks Reenah for sticking with me as long as you did)
Although the route was 8 miles we got a ride back at 7 miles due to our injuries. No worries though, 7 miles was a stretch for me since I have been out of commission for the last several weeks. It was good.
When we got back to the training site I stretched real good for about a half hour and even had a teammate that's a physical therapist rub down my I-T Band. OUCH! But, it was helpful:)
It felt good to be back and due a substantial amount of mileage this week. What an amazing adventure this has all been and I'm not done yet! :)
My fund raising has been going great but the pressure is on! My deadline is this coming Monday Sept 27th! I have $1200 more to go.
