Checking in from Elliptical Land

Not much to tell you. I started physical therapy last week. The doc and the PT both think that there isn't anything structural going on--it's just going to take time to get my hips and glutes stronger, and to re-train my quads to make my kneecap track correctly. I hate, hate, hate missing spring season, but while I can now sometimes walk down stairs without pain and can sit in a chair for more than a couple of minutes at a time, it still flares up not infrequently, and I still can't run at all. Soooooooo frustrating.

But I'm keeping as fit as I can on the elliptical, and I'm working the PT exercises, so with any luck, I'll be able to get my fitness back quickly when I'm able to start running again.

Might take a trip to Collie, er, College Station this weekend to see the NCAA Indoor Championships. The new facility is supposed to be nice--there's a video tour of it on Flotrack if you're inclined to check it out.

Guess that's it for now. Carpe Viam!
