I ran again today, however this time it was a little more deliberate. I still kept the pace slow, but i tried to focus on just running naturally. I used a grass field near (S)cumberland High School figuring it would be an easier transition from sedentary to run. It seemed to be decent. I didn't have any of the sharp lateral pain that I normally get, but i still have some quad type of tightness. Regardless, it went better than I expected it to. My plan was to run for 5:00 and instead I did 10:00 forcing myself to stop. I kept it nice and slow, probably between 8 and 9 minute pace. The important thing is that I got through it and it wasn't horrible.
I then went to the gym and did back lifting as well as my standard hips/abs stuff. I also threw in my usual hamstring strengthening exercises.
After this, I met my wife at PC and had her do some Graston technique on the IT band and lateral gastroc. Its definitely a huge advantage having a wife who is an AT. So now my leg is sore, but from Graston, not from working out. Hoping for more of the same.
