Physio Stuff

Like dealing with the repercussions of this wretched winter, trying to cope with these injuries and their consequences with constantly expressing bitter complaint does nothing productive, nor is it conducive, to improving the matter. So, after this entry, I'm going to put some effort into toning all that down. Venting these frustrations only reflects my lack of patience. I just want desperately to move on forward with something more progressive, life-affirming, and positive. I should be concentrating on turning this downtime into something I could use for my advantage.

I can honestly say that the massage treatment yesterday was one of the most excruciating experiences I ever had in my life. And unfortunately, it isn't the only one I'll have to have. It basically involves getting old muscle and scar tissues teased and ripped apart, so stuff can heal back together normally again. In essence, it re-stationed me back to square one, as it rendered me cramped up and limping again, so there is no chance in resuming training this week. However, in it was the bitter lesson of how poorly I've been taking care of myself, in that I'm not getting adequate rest. After that torment, it made me even more determined to stop further allowing my body to become a busted up piece of junk.

Today, after some recommended physiotherapy exercises, I'm going to try to throw my mind into learning some of the long list of techy stuff that I've been curious about, within those moments when I'm not too distracted by pain.

Here is a video of one of the things I am to do. I figured that I'd share it, as it might be beneficial for my other friends who are fellow runners, and cohorts who I know are on their feet all day.
