I’ve had a couple sessions of physical therapy in the past
month. This is a long time coming. The goal is to make me
whole. The pessimist in me is reminded of that Greek story where the guy has to push a rock up a hill, as a punishment, but the magic rock always slides back down. King Sisyphus.
Anyway, the goal is to figure out what’s going on with my left hip, hamstring, and knee, and then chart a course for improvement. So far, the focus has been on lower back muscles, and well as abductor stretches. I’m hopeful for improvement, and I think the sessions have been great. I need to show a bit more discipline in carrying out the prescribed stretches twice a day. Will do.

Always room for improvement.
On Saturday, I ran and hiked a circuit around Blanchard
Mountain. Spring is near here, with a
limited amount of snow up by Lilly Lake.
Winter took it easy on the Northwest this year, I’d say. Sunday I spent in the gym, with a mild
workout. I’m not sure if I should be
upset or happy with the slight aches in my quads.
