Summary:
saw Tom on the walk home from the train station and he gave me a ride back to my apartment. he told me to get back in shape, but to do it smart and do the rehab stuff before getting into running. good coincidence that i ran in to him because i was starting to feel discouraged because my hamstring still hurts when i walk a lot, which is pretty much every day now. went to the gym and lifted, did some stretching and hamstring strengthening exercises, and did 20 minutes (7 miles) on the bike. i thought about doing hamstring strengthening stuff before, but it didn't help during the season so i thought it might be best to just rest as much as possible, but with 4 weeks of not running and still not as much progress as i would like, its worth a shot.

Summary:
had to go into lab today to get some stuff done. the LUCY bus doesn't run on weekends, so i had to walk there and back, which made for about 6 miles of walking for the day. by the end, my hamstring hurt a lot. it hasn't gotten any better since i've started taking time off. it isn't as bad on days where i don't have to walk as much, but even then it still hurts.

Summary:
lifted after work and did some biking as well. didn't go for long the bike because it was already pretty late and i hadn't eaten dinner yet. since my hamstring hasn't gotten any better (going on five weeks of no running) i'm going to go back to my doctor to get more tests done to see what can be done. i vastly underestimated how much i fucked myself by running through spring track. at this point, the worst case scenario is that I am going to need surgery to remove scar tissue from my leg.

Summary:
went to see my doctor again. he told me what i already knew: your hamstring is really tight and so is your hip. he recommended doing physical therapy 3 times a week for a month to help it. i asked if i should get an MRI in case there is scar tissue there, but he said its "too early for that" and my insurance wouldn't cover it because there isn't sufficient cause. i hate the approach of reactive treatment instead of preventive treatment; i already wasted five weeks sitting on my ass waiting for this to get better and if PT doesn't work i'll have to wait an additional month before starting training. he also recommended seeing an orthopedist (actually i recommended it and he consented). he recommended the rothman institute since they have locations in my town and in philly. i'll call them on monday or tuesday to see if they have any PT times available before or after my work schedule. its not looking too good though since I leave for the train at 8:20AM and don't get back on campus usually until 7:00PM. I have to work something out though so I'll see what I can do. I also might see the doctor that Ivo, Jordan, and Willie saw since Ivo suggested it earlier.

Summary:
day off from lifting/core. i don't normally do core everyday because I was told in high school to do it every other day, but since i'm limited in what I can do, I might as well adopt the Tolu Oladele "all core everyday core core core program".

Summary:
lifted and did core after work. after multiple attempts to make a physical therapy/orthopedist appointment, Rothman institute finally called me back and I have an appointment for next Friday. I wanted to try them before going to Rob (Ivo's doctor) because Rob is much more expensive than seeing an orthopedist ($40 instead of $250) so its worth a shot. If I feel like it isn't helping, then I'll just go see Rob instead. My hamstring has been starting to feel a little better recently. It hasn't seized up in a while and walking a lot isn't as painful as it used to be. its still really tight when i try to extend it too far and I can still feel a knot of muscle when I walk too fast, but progress is progress.

Summary:
finally saw a sports doctor today. he told me that my hamstring is "really tight" and the level of tightness is on par with what he would expect with a severe hamstring injury, but there is no bruising or other symptoms to suggest it is a tear. he is sending me to get an MRI (on a date to be determined on Tuesday because my insurance is shitty) and after that I'll start physical therapy. he gave me some stretches to do and told me the plan was to get me running within a month if not sooner. he also told me not to start running again because my hamstring is so tight that i can't get full leg extension when stretching, which would cause me to alter my running mechanics and overcompensate with something else, which would lead to further injury. did some core later in the day.
