PT exercises 30:00 [3]
various shoulder exercises while Rhonda was doing yoga at 5:45. Just the two of us as no one else cam. Left shoulder continues to progress, but very slowly. Being gingerly with the R shoulder, which acts up occasionally rather dramatically, but mostly is not too bad.
Note
visit to the esteemed surgeon Dr. Beebe to get my R shoulder and elbow checked out. A couple of x-rays, a possible spur in the shoulder, an injection of cortisone for the elbow and instructions to come back in two weeks for MRI if the shoulder is not getting better.
On the L shoulder, all he could tell me is sometimes it takes a year for rotator cuff surgery to return to function.
Running 25:00 [3] 2.25 mi (11:07 / mi)
track workout. I've been reading about the exploits of PG and walk and feeling like I need to get in the game. I can't expect to do the intense short recovery stuff PG does or to replicate walk's leviathan workouts, but ventured to run 1 to 4 x 400 depending on how it went. Aim was for something in the 95 range, but didn't know how it would feel or how much effort it would take. Jogged a few laps, did a few straightaways a bit harder, then the plan was run a quarter, then walk one briskly and run the next one. So the walking amounted to maybe 3.5 or 4 minutes, untimed.
The 400s, with 200 splits:
1. 41.96; 86.75
2. 42.21; 86.09
3. 41.62; 86.10
The first straightaway was with the wind and the second into it, so that may help explain the discrepancy. I was certainly surprised to be at 41 or thereabouts at the 200 (can't see the 100ths until I put my glasses on later), and thought "no way will that happen again" but each one I was rejuvenated by clicking the stop watch and saying go. Decided to make it sort of a bricker set and stop there, because I could feel the potential for some serious delayed onset muscle soreness, and who needs that? Not a true bricker set, I suppose, because I hadn't really planned on 4, just planned on stopping at 4 if I got that far.
So I'm a bit faster than I thought, but I suspect that a shorter rest interval would put a stop to that pretty quickly.
