Rode the bike, did the elliptical, and lifted weights at the high school. I did some stretching afterwards and core exercises.

I went to a physical therapist in town today and I hope he can get my hamstring/adductor taken care of. He noticed that everything was a little tight but no major tears or anything which was positive news. He gave me some suggestions on weightlifting I should do for the next little while. He also wants me to get Coreshorts Lite (compression shorts) just to walk around in and then possibly to run in for short runs. He was really encouraging and I hope to get this thing taken care of. I should have seen a physical therapist a while back but I was too stubborn. This is all foreign territory to me not being able to run without pain and trying to heal my leg. I guess I am supposed to learn something from this so I will be patient. I am just hoping to be going for a nice run here sometime soon with no pain whatsoever.
