foot/leg update

Okay, I havent posted in awhile cuz I havent done much running. I've been in PT now for 3 weeks. (oh and went to St. Thomas for 1 week)

PT is going well, but painful. Check out the bruises in the pix. The foot pain was being brought on because of a bigger problem. The ITB, hamstring, and calf muscle all attached at the Femoral bone which with me was in a locked down position causing pain whenever I tried to run more than 1 mile. PT has been wonderful to work on this - ultrasound, deep tissue massage (or what I like to call torture!) and E-stim.

I was able to do 3.5 miles lastnight which is huge after all this time. Hubby asked me if I'd signed up for another 1/2 Mary since I made THAT milestone! :) ha ha. (not yet, but I thought about it)

I've included a pix of St. Thomas too. Gorgeous location our hotel was in...lots or relaxing.
