It's hard to really say whether I'm feeling optimistic or not right now. My leg has felt totally fine while walking the past two days, so that's an improvement, but I can still tell that there is something off with it. When I went to PT on Monday, we did an evaluation, massage, stim, and ice. On Wednesday and Thursday, I started a strengthening program involving lots of balance work and kettlebells (!!!). I love the shit out of kettlebell work outs.
I got to use the stationary bike to warm up and I LOVED it. I was excited to be able to bike outside, but since it's currently precipitating white stuff, I don't think I'll be able to get out there this weekend. I'm also nervous that the hills nearby won't get along with my leg, but I suppose I won't know until I try.
I'm generally a little sore from the new exercises the past two days, but I do think I'm seeing an improvement. My therapist said he would like for me to try a short run next week when I go in, so hopefully that will end well and with no pain. I'm excited to see what next week brings and I'm remaining hopeful that I'll be able to run (or run/walk, or even just walk, I don't care!) the Hot Chocolate 15k in Philly in two weekends.
