This was my last draft of my blog.... Never posted. I don't remember why. I was doing so good at the time. This was sometime in September of 2013. I had to quit the chiropractor and therapist because I moved to California. I more or less stopped running and have gained a few pounds since this last entry. I am working on it tho. I have a fitbit now that shows I walk over 15,000 steps a day when I work. My back has not given me any problems, but I do need to do my core exercises before it does start bothering me. I joined a marathon training class at the local JC and we meet on Monday nights to run together. If I can meet some people that will run with me, maybe I can keep this up. Today I go to work at 11, so I will do a small run before work. We will see.
Last week at the chiropractor my physical therapist took a new video of me. The first was done on my first day before I started my exercises. I have progressed far since then. It has been about 6 weeks and I feel so much better. I have ran another 5K, and was proud of myself for making it under 40. My IT bands are loose, the roller is wonderful. I highly recommend getting one. It will hurt the first few times. I could have swore I was bruised it hurt so bad. But it didn't bruise. Now I can roll on my sides with only spots that are sore and it feels good! My core is tighter, exercising has it's benefits. The first time I did the core exercises I thought I would never make it through. I could only do 5 "dead bugs" at a time, now I can do 40 without hurting. My video shows I need to work on my hamstrings. They are excessively tight, so work begins on those. I wish I could explain the exercise to you, it really pulls those hami's. My therapist also is going to help me work on running more miles! Today I am to run 3 miles at a normal speed. Next time she wants me to run 2 miles with interval speeds. This is to get your body used to going faster.
