They tried to make me go to rehab...
I am rehab-ing my leg AGAIN!! It is not such a big deal this time. I am not injured again or anything. I am just having a little problem w/ my right hamstring. (Only my right leg ever bothers me. My left leg is perfect!) My sports medicine doc thinks that my hamstring was weakened during the last 6 months that I have dealt w/ my IT Band injury. So I am just back in Physical Therapy for a few weeks to strengthen it and keep it relaxed. I am doing daily squats, lunges, hamstring curls, etc. I've been doing these for months but they have not been too effective b/c of my ITB injury causing my leg to overcompensate in some way. I don't entirely understand it but my leg is already feeling better and it has just been a week. Of course now I am doing a TON of these exercises! The therapist is also doing a lot of ultrasound therapy and electro-something therapy which keeps it from getting tight and cramped too badly. I am hoping this therapy will keep me from hurting my leg again. We shall see. As for my running and eating.... I am putting in 3 miles everyday and still sticking to my eating plan. Not many splurges this week. However, I am running low on my Jenny Craig food which I need to get soon. I have a weigh in on Saturday and plan to stock up then! Peace out!
