had a pretty good swim this morning in a crowded lane...yikes...somehow i got 50 ahead in the warm-up so that screwed things up for a minute...but swam ok...felt strong in the beginning then we did a 600 with paddles on...then my arms were going to fall off...nice...but made it through...liked the workout...
off to see dr. sellers about the knee and hamstring...he did some tests on the knee to see if there is internal stuff going on...he said he got a few positive signs from these tests but thinks them false positives...ok i can handle that...but he will check them about again on friday after i run and have a treatment...
he feels like i am really tight in the psoas, hip flexing muscles, quad, abductor...and the hamstring on the right side...so all of that tightness is pulling on the connections of the muscle and bone...this is causing the pain in my knee when i lift it..
he did a bunch of work on the knee...inside and out side...i could feel a difference when he was done...
hamstring work too...again just a really tight leg...guess i need to suck it up and get real massage therapy more often...
he is recommending interval work run some then recover some...to give the tissue some time to recover...ice 20 minutes after running...and stretch
school started tuesday but i didn't have classes because they are both discussion sections...
