my journey to recovery...

i am injured.
this is not news but for the first time i am going to work at it systematically.

with the amount of abuse my body has been subjected in the last 20+ years with all my races and lack of rest, it is now screaming for attention.

my hamstring strain that i sustained when i was 15 is still haunting me this very day. due to the reduce muscle flexibility there, my right has been compensating. it has overworked and now it is protesting. my gluteus medius (the top bits of my butt that joined the lower back) is tight and and my lliopsoas muscle in front of my hips and at the groin area is under a lot of strain to level my hips. unsure whether this or it is the symptoms of the tightness in my trapezius muscle (upper back).

long story short, i need to undo all these tightness especially for my back and strengthen my stability muscle.
that i will need time, help from physio therapist, sports doctor, money and discipline to do it.

will update on my progress.

for now, no running and biking for the next 2 weeks.
stretch and use heat pack daily.
see my therapist twice for trigger point release of the painful knots.

and swim.

i hope to be be ready for strengthening by mid Feb!
