Interesting "diagnosis" and I wonder if it doesn't apply to most of us runners - the tight psoas and the other muscle. I notice that in the last year I have been unable to sit as cross legged as I used to because of tightening muscles.<br />So pleased that you are back running again and that you have a go ahead on that. I am also very impressed with your cross training - well done on all the swimming.Stacihttp://www.sherunsinsandals.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-66216736517256462482011-08-12T20:29:59.029-07:002011-08-12T20:29:59.029-07:00Based from your marathon time, it doesn't show...Based from your marathon time, it doesn't show that you're actually experiencing some pain for as long as you can remember. You're doing a great job in spite of the problems you've been experiencing. My, my, my, you're even faster than some runners half your age!<br /><br />I'm also going thru some pain in my leg and thanks to you, I think I'm gonna pay my PT-Rehab doctor a visit. <br /><br />Keep us posted please. I hope your condition improve in no time.Nora, the golden girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596274436405287487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090155728755589.post-91663191216204236522011-08-12T19:00:52.722-07:002011-08-12T19:00:52.722-07:00The PT sounds wonderful (even from her bio) and it...The PT sounds wonderful (even from her bio) and it seems like the visit was worth it in every way. It is great she was able to understand the why behind what you knew was happening. I like when that happens.<br /><br />Thank you for the comment on my blog because I didn't realize that over training could cause insomnia -- but of course it makes sense. And honestly, I didn't think I was over training but when I think about it even just adding the 10k's on top of the regular running had me at more than the recommended 10% increase in miles each week. That combined with the fact that yes, two of the three 10k's were run full out makes for a big fat DUH for me. Sometimes I'm still a bit slow at catching onto things even though I'm trying so hard to be smart and not get injured. Anyway, thank you thank you. Even if it wasn't cause for the insomnia, it certainly explains the muscle fatigue that has definitely been present this week.Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809744218455258079noreply@blogger.com
