A few months after I adopted my dog, before he was even settled in our house, he broke his toe running at the dog park. He had to have a splint on for 6 weeks, and I think those were the longest weeks of my life. It's so tough to care for an injured dog who doesn't know to take it easy!

I normally try to do at least two days a week, but when I'm not running, it ends up being 3-4. I also do a lot of walking. I'd ride bike but my bike suuuuuuucks! I wish I had a good one! I hope laying off running for awhile will help you. I am sure those races took a toll. In response to your FB message- TFL = tensor fascia latae. When my chiro scrapes scar tissue, he uses a little round (i think!?) plastic thing and scrapes the outside of the knee. It sort of hurts/tickles at the same time.

I had surgery and took a 3 month hiatus from running. It was a nice break, but I definitely missed running. Starting up again was tough for the first few runs, but I found that I was actually faster!

Although no one ever wants to, that was what my body needed to recover. In the summer, there are so many other activities to do-biking and swimming are great. Hope you heal quickly :)Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runnerhttp://confessionsofamotherrunner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-86030677144206115492015-05-17T21:55:08.421-04:002015-05-17T21:55:08.421-04:00Hopefully, those two missing stitches won't ma...Hopefully, those two missing stitches won't matter too much. Hope Baylee continues to recover quickly!!!<br />I know it's going to be hard, but I can say this with full honesty because I have been exactly where you are right now. Taking time off is going to be the best thing for you. When you've been in pain as long as you have, it's impossible to heal if you keep doing what is causing the pain. <br />It could take a month or two. But after you've been without pain for about 3-4 weeks, you can take all that PT you've already been through, and start over with it. Good news is, you won't have to pay to do it, you can start with it on your own and build up. Then maybe after a month or so of PT you can gradually introduce running again and hopefully you're injuries will be entirely a thing of the past and by January you'll be all set for your Disney Marathon!<br />It won't be easy, but I am hear for you if you ever need to vent!

I bought a vest that can be used for a harness, and that kept her from licking the stitches. It's so hard when they're ailing, isn't it? That surgery was a big deal here. She had a drain and everything. Glad your baby is on the mend. Hope you feel better too.Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-36207429344513768342015-05-17T19:02:58.104-04:002015-05-17T19:02:58.104-04:00So one of the things I have been learning lately a...So one of the things I have been learning lately about my running injuries is that I have several muscle imbalances that are kind of subtle, but I have been even doing prevention exercises incorrectly and therefore overusing the wrong muscles to run. It sounds like you are doing the stuff you are supposed to do but still having symptoms, and I wonder if it could be because your body is so used to doing things a certain way that when you start running again you go back to the same natural habits, which is what I did. Im sorry that they told you there is nothing more they can do- I know that feeling and it sucks! I usually have more luck with chiropractors than PTs (and its less time consuming) but I would highly recommend going to someone who is trained in FMS (functional movement screening) if you want to learn more about issues that could potentially lead to your injury and how to address them. Very different than PT, in my opinion. <br />Good luck, and Im sorry to hear about your dog! I hope she's feeling better!Lisa @ Running Out Of Winehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182384531758005079noreply@blogger.com
