Physio Progress

I am two weeks in on my physio and I am going to gently ramp up the walking a little bit..

Ice and stretching are my new best friends and I am trying to keep to the program they put me on for getting my ankles back up to snuff..

Exciting update!!! New Shows and much, much more!! 372.02

Well not too exciting...

let's see..what has happened since my last post... In no paticular order..

#1) I managed to keep my job during a very stressful and sad downsizing...More onn that later...

#2) I purchased a new pair of shoes..and to shake things up, I switched brands!!

*gulp*

I went from "New Balance" to "Saucony" at the reccomendation of "my shoe guy".. We'll see how it goes..I went for a short walk today and they felt great!..Very comfy..

#3) My right heel got so bad that I went to the "walk-in clinic" and I have an appointment to go out to some kinda fancy-schmancy sports medicine clinic...and I'm also getting physio.. At physio I was shown some stretches and icing techniques I have to do, I have found out I have bursitis in my right heel and tendonitis in my left..The physio lady said my calves were very stiff and that can cause you to get tendonitis...my hips are also out of wack..but I have stretches for that too...I alo have to cut my walking distances back by 30%.

#4) 35 weeks until the Vancouver International marathon!! 8 weeks to heal so I can start training properly..
