Description from Strava:
Yesterday I had my first ever visit to a physiotherapist. I got the train to Hitchin and had a wander before my appointment. There are lots of quirky shops there, but I did not buy anything. The physio is on the second (3rd for US folk) floor, so anyone with an injury has a challenge getting to him. He was a nice guy and we talked about the issues I was having with my hip. He was interested in my withered hand, but was not treating that. He checked out my mobility and prodded me a bit before declaring that my gluteal tendon was tight on that side. It seems my joints are fine. He massaged it a bit and gave me some exercises to do. I will be back in a fortnight to review it.
I am reassured that it is not a joint issue. He said I was okay to run, but should ease off a little as it gets better. So I was back at parkrun today. I think it was a little cooler than last week with the course all dried out now. We had a new run director this time. I just took it at a pace that felt reasonably comfortable. It was still hard work. A load of people came past me, but I made up a few places near the end as I tried to push on the last half lap. I came 42nd of 127, so just in the top third. I hope to get quicker again as I recover, but that will do for now.
I was feeling pretty warm by then. I was not sure if my other half was running as she left the house after me, so I walked back along the course to look for her. She was not there, so I came home after cutting through the camp site.
Since I got back I have been busy in the garden. We want to move the chickens to a new run, so I was preparing things for that. I will try to get more done today, but may have a swim later.
Enjoy your weekend.
