Leaping through Feb - 29 days of Running!

Spent an hour at the PTs office this morning. I'm having ART done and this morning he did some Graston as well. I"ve never had Graston before, and I'd heard it was pretty painful. Maybe I have a high tolerance for pain, but on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being most painful) I found it to be a 2.

I think it's therapist and patient dependent. My DH had it done and said it was terrible (and he has a very high tolerance for pain). He had bruising from it. I had it done, and thought it felt good (sort of like a really hard massage). I'd be at about a 2 for it to (on the IT band) - and no pain when it was done on my ankle. Now....the PT digging her elbow into my calf to break up adhesions. Yeah - that was painful.

It was wonderful to be outside on Monday, even though it was cold! Ran 5.4 miles, hilly trail at work, felt fairly good despite being a bit tired. Ice/snow in the grassy areas but the the trail was dry. Had to dodge around some tree debris, victims of the weekend's strong winds.

The sun and fresh air are good for the soul.
