OK so today was so full that I didn't even really have time to THINK about my P.T. appointment. Today with the help from some friends...I got Lovely L to gymnastics, One and Only to baseball camp, Sweet J to play date so I could go to P.T, swim lessons for two kiddos, and finished and presented a training on "child guidance" to our local YMCA! WOW, I'm tired!
So my poor leg is so bruised from the butter knife procedure and water massage...AKA fire hose that I was sure he wouldn't do any type of massage today. But I was wrong. Today he pulled out a crow bar type tool and began again to work on my I.T. band. OUCH!! This was so painful as my bruises are so tender. I survived and was rewarded with a awesome 25 minute run in the pool. So in this pain and chaos there was a beautiful shining MOMENT! My P.T. told me that he felt like it was POSSIBLE that I would be able to run/walk the half. So in the pool and back to the crow bar I will go on Thursday and then hopefully Mon. get to try my first short run OUTSIDE (during the appointment). I am so so happy....that he cleary said, "it shouldn't be a problem" YES!!! I do know that there is chance the pain will be there or return on my test run, but I am hopeful!!
I am not sure where my endurance will feel like??? This has been such the journey...
I am so thankful for this DAY...the day that running was in sight AGAIN, and thankful that this crazy super mama day is OVER!!!

Woohoo! That's awesome!
I'm so excited!!! That's awesome news. I just hope it keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see you next week.
BTW, I know all about the horrors of physical therapists and IT Band work. Not fun.
Congrats! That's really great news!Maybe God rewarded you for not worrying about the outcome of your PT appointment... you were too busy!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Congrats Harm!! So happy for you!! If you get into binds like that again with the kiddos, call me for help!
So happy!!
YAY for you!!
Don't worry about the endurance. You got it. I didn't do hardly anything for like 2 or 3 weeks before NODM half walk/run and I was fine.
YOu'll have fun!
YES! That's great that you get the opportunity to run/walk the half! Like me! :)
I'm beginning to think I'll probably be walking more than running...but I'll take what I can get.
