Sunday... old injuries and a lovely trail run

To start- my run rocked! Back with Richard again with his dog Copper and Adoptee Zahna... I love the trails so much... 1h 25 minutes.

Welllll well well, its dejavu with August's Trail Run injuries. This week, while running carelessly with Outdoors on a fire-road, I rolled on my ankle. I feel that same achy tension along the tendon that extends on the mid-outside of my lower leg, down to the ankle and under my foot. Exact same issue. It felt not in pain but bruised yesterday. Today, i felt the compensation in my knee... exact same knee injury as pre-marathon. (GAH!)

At the pool this evening I did a few lengths and kicks, and then some hot and cold treatment. I felt a lot better afterwards. I remember them attributing the mal-aligned knee cap with a tight IT band and weak glutes. So, I tapped into a trusty yoga move to relax my IT band: rolling on your IT band over a pool noodle. The last time I did this, I felt sharp pain- but the band felt rather loose and at ease. hmmm... Time for a physio app't. I hope its not counter productive to go with a new phys' at the school- rather than trek down to Victoria.

I got some glucosamine syrup that's supposed to lubricate your joints (I'll buy into this one). And I bought another bottle of Traumeel... Icing tonight as I prep.
