Checking out the training I set at Sellwood park. Happy with all but one control location.

And an extra little run around the field.

Run in the rain. Soooo much warmer though! Normally I'd be a wimp about 40-odd degrees and rain, but felt nice to be in fewer layers. Focused on short stride.

Finally had a PT session! An hour that was mostly evaluation. Pubis symphsis joint is the problem, but there isn't detectable separation (good!) although it's still tender. Motions that torque the pelvis are still to be avoided so that the joint continues to heal.

I don't have strengthening exercises to do yet, the story is to avoid doing things that put stress through the joint so it keeps healing.

Running is supposed to be ok, but keep stride short. Skiing is ok, but she was less thrilled by it's motions and definitely wanted me to wear the SI belt while doing so.

She also checked out my abs, she wasn't worried about the minor diastisis recti (one finger width for a short zone) and was happy how I was engaging the transverse abs to do things.

Trip back West. Luckily got out before any bomb-cyclone cancellations! Sylvia did fine on the flights again. At this age, seems like it is easy, she was just psyched to be cuddled the whole 6h flight from Newark back to Portland!

Skate ski at John's Glen - dropped off there and skied back to the house with Tom on some ski-o worthy trails! Fun times.

Added a headband to the buff + 2 hat combo and seem to have avoided the frost nip on the ears!

Well, the ski trail ended a bit before the house, so the final walk home.

Today's high was predicted to be 2 degrees with a windchill of -14 F, so I went back to the gym after a delightful baby-free brunch with Tom to kick off the New Year! We're getting spoiled by all this grandparent babysitting...

Even colder, so treadmill run today. Ran some faster paced bits, down to 7:35/mi at the fastest (for a two quarter-miles). Felt ok, nice to get legs moving a bit more. Had SI belt on.
