Running into the New Year! Week of New Year's.

[Jolt]

Well, the good news is going down stairs does not hurt today so I think the aggravation last night was pretty mild (plus I have been icing and taking Aleve just to be safe). Basically I am throwing everything at it that I can think of. I'm thinking it is a matter of stretching things and getting the glutes stronger (and maybe retraining myself to use them more) so they do their share of the work; I can feel that the left glutes don't seem to be activating as much as the right and I think that is why I have had the problem and why I still just feel "lopsided". Maybe some rollerblading (at a rink, of course) would help with that, along with the exercises I'm doing from PT. Looks like I need to put some junk in the trunk (which on me would be a good thing)! Tonight I will be swimming--one of the other lifeguards at the Y where I sometimes work is doing swim workouts twice a week for whoever wants to participate. It will be sort of like being on swim team again.
