Note
(injured)
Happy new year! My Left Patellar tendon apparently wants to be noticed this year. I think hard runs are cancelled until I fix this. Maybe 2x20min easy/day, plus some strength for a while, or something like that
Walking 10:30 [1] 0.73 km (14:23 / km) +37m 11:29 / km
ahr:105 (injured) shoes: R-NB White Shoe (531's)s
PM: Treadmill, warmup for some L-PT Pineapple DT. Was going to go for a 2nd run (already ran short in AM), but the L-PT is sore enough walking stairs, so a run seemed unneeded.
Running 21:00 [2] 4.0 km (5:15 / km) +40m 5:00 / km
shoes: R-NB White Shoe (531's)s
To Bradford Rd. & Valley Stream w/Angelica, and back alone as she continued on for 7 miles. My L-Pat. Tendon hurt more or less every step of the way, warming up a bit by the end.
Strength 7:00 [1]
Hip/ankle stuff, plus some bridges.
And two rounds (AM and late PM) of Pineapple DT on the L-Pat. Tendon and some finger & octopus massage. Plus a hit of 600mg IB after the run. And 2x a 1-minute stretch of the L-Quad.
It's still sore up/down stairs (walking flat is still fine), even the next morning.
It tends to feel a lot better after the Pineapple+ massage, but I'm still not sure exactly what I should be doing for for this L-PT thing. It's still seems to be getting worse daily, although we'll see if that stops now with 20-min-easy as my max. run.
Sarah Br. ((CAN) on AP) said something about using a Foam roller to help fix her PT quickly, but I'm not exactly sure what she did w/the foam roller. Email has been sent (to China, apparently.)
