I live at the top of a steep hill. When I walk my dog in our usual clockwise direction, after we reach the end of our street, we turn the corner and trudge up a short, steep incline that flattens out after the first house.
For the past few weeks, that corner has reminded me of my “issue.” No matter how good I felt the day before, or how great I felt walking down my hill, my right ITB, glute and/or piriformis always gave a shout out as we turned the corner.
Until this weekend.
As I rounded the corner on Saturday, I felt … nothing.
As I rounded the corner on Sunday, I felt … nothing.
And this morning, as I rounded the corner … blissful silence again.
I know I’m not fully recovered. I still felt tightness during my runs this weekend. But this corner tells me that I have turned a corner in my recovery. 🙂
How are you doing?
and this makes me HAPPY!!!!
I KNOW that excitement! It's the little movements where you expect that twinge and nothing. It's so ridiculously exciting.
EXACTLY! [?]
Yay! 🙂
yay! woohoo! she's getting better! I'd totally do a back flip for you right now, but the outcome of that would cause me to be up a creek.
Yippee!!!! Your progress gives me hope!
That's great news! Just keep doing what you're doing.

Your dog is beautiful ! That is good to feel a niggle going away 🙂 I’ve had a few good moments recently, I hope this trend continues.
