Social day on the elliptical
Even though I didn't have as much sleep as the night before, I woke up feeling much less tired today (we'll see what happens tomorrow). It was really nasty and humid out even at 6:30 am, so I was secretly glad that today was a drive-to-work day for me.
I tried a little running on the indoor track when I got to the gym, just so I could tell Barb exactly where the running motion still bothers me. It actually felt better than it did on Saturday, but still not normal. I was bummed out but I got on the elliptical like the committed little cross-trainer that I am. I ended up talking to a former Georgetown athlete next to me almost the whole time, which made the time go by really quickly. She's dealt with her share of injuries too so I don't think she minded my bitching about all my weeks spent cross training.
As I suspected, Barb wants me to wait awhile before trying to run again. I think it's even harder to know I can't run now when I don't have much pain at all. I feel almost like a runner again...but then I remember that I can't run. Sigh. Anyway, she worked on my hamstring insertion and it is still very sore when she gets in deep. I guess I need that to go away before I can stride normally again.
I must run and go pick up Matt since I am monopolizing the car today!
