On the Road Again???

Weight 217 RHR ?

The ladies at physio told me that I could resume running last night. Within Limits!

I ran for 15 minutes on the treadmill at the Y and then iced down when I got home and yet again this AM. Ice has been my friend. I can feel it a bit this AM but I am hoping that is the healing and not more irritation.

I am also doing stretches and squats and Romanian Deadlifts (Not carrying expired Romanians but basically bending over with weights). All of this is to strengthen my knees and stretch the IT bands.

I am also getting new inserts for my running shoes. Not orthotics (although I probably should get them) but less expensive "Superfeet" that Scott Harvie (the Ortho guy here at Inside Edge Physio) will glue wedges to thus enabling me to run with wings on my feet. And less pain in my knees.

I think I will look into getting a couple of neoprene geezer braces. That will complete the look.
