It has been two weeks since the platelet injection and the hamstring tendon feels about 80% better then before. I have been patient and did not do too much to aggravate it: walking swimming, postural activation and eccentric loading exercises. Last Saturday I walked Bundeena to Marley and back, about 15km. It was glorious to revisit the Royal National Park but a bit sad not be running the Otford to Bundeena run, which the Hammer did in a blisterring 3:45. But I am still very pleased to be out and moving, enjoying this magnificent landscape.
Last Sunday I walked 20km to Church Point through Kurringai National Park - simply stunning. But walking is tough, I started getting blisters on the balls of my feet.
Today I walked 15 km to Long Reef, running 500m every 2km. The air was so muggy you could smell the seaweed on the breeze. Each breath was like a sip of dashi stock. Yum...
The legs feel fine - and I am keen to end my pedestrian ways and get back to running and feeling fit. I just have to get the go ahead from the doc. The postural activation work has changed the way my body moves and I feel like I will need to relearn how to run. Or it could just be the lack of fitness?
