Going Well

I went to PT (physical therapy) tonight and--good news!--I am still in alignment. I even ran in agility class last night, but I was careful. I didn't run full out. I felt good today at work. I'm able to sit for longer periods of time.

Yadda...yadda...yadda...I think I'm on the road to recovery. Such a relief. There's light at the end of this painful tunnel. The therapist worked my left IT band tonight. O.M.G. painful does not begin to describe it. Sharon, you know what I'm talking about!

I'm off to an indoor AKC agility trial this weekend. I'll get to stay with Janice as her house is only 20 minutes from the site. Bonus!

Cos and I will be running FAST classes (my favorite) as well as standard and JWW. Wish us luck. I'm hopeful that this weekend I can run and handle him well.

We have an answer...

I thought I've been dealing with a bad back, perhaps a disc problem. Last evening I saw a physical therapist and finally got an answer. It's not my back; it's my pelvis.

During the HOT Agility trial in April, I heard a pop as I was running a course with Cosi. That pop, the therapist said, was my pelvis going out of alignment. My right leg was shorter than my left because my right side of the pelvis was raised. The therapist put me back into alignment, gave me exercises to do, and set up three more sessions.

The key to physical therapy is to *DO* the exercises they give you. I'm on it! This morning as I lay on my back doing my stretches, three shelties came over to "assist." Jenny, of course, was in bed with Daddy, probably saying, "Let me know when you're done and we're getting breakfast." =:O)

I hadn't had time to put together my videos from last weekend. I finally had time last evening. Here's our P1 Standard run from Sunday. Obviously, this week we're working on the table. Other than that I was very pleased with the run.
