My doctor, looking at my shoulder, said "You really need some physical therapy."

My physical therapist, looking at my shoulder, said "Yes, you need physical therapy."

My insurance company, without looking at my shoulder, said "No, you're fine. You don't need physical therapy."

So... I guess I don't need physical therapy. Such an efficient medical system we have here in the US.

I ran a trail half-marathon with my wife today. She finished ten minutes ahead of me and I'm very proud of her. This was only my second trail run since my big injury so I was not confident on the rocks. There was a total of 2,100ft of elevation gain and loss (loop). I really hoped I would pick up the pace on the downhill but it was too rocky (Sonoran Desert granite).

My initial injury happened on a trail run so I still get very nervous. I tripped and rolled twice today which just shattered any confidence I had left. As a result of my slower pace, I was able to help a new runner who was low on water and cramping. After I gave him water and electrolytes, I helped him struggle to the end. He was very grateful and I was glad to help. Part of my search and rescue background usually means I over-prepare.

Next is to get some of that strength back in my left calf. #physicaltherapy #running

I just ran 7 miles averaging 9m26s pace with about 1,000ft of elevation gain. I have a taped up ankle and fresh superfeet in my shoes. I felt pretty good but my coach doesn't want me to push it any harder yet.

I could have moved quicker on the downhills but I'm still hyper-focused on my form and feeling every bit of my knee. Physical therapy is formally done but I continue to do the stretches and exercises at my desk in the office. Who knew a nasty sprain would impact me for a whole year? #running #physicaltherapy
