Biking 50:00 [3] 12.3 mi (4:04 / mi)
Biking to and from PT. It was super windy today and the tide was in, so I got a bit of sea spray on me.
Running 15:00 [3] 1.8 mi (8:20 / mi)
shoes: Brooks Running 17
Running along the Bay before PT! Colin (my PT) wanted to analyze my gate, so he told me to go for a 15 minute run before PT started so that I would be warmed up. Things felt kind of tight and dead for the first 5 minutes or so (perhaps like I had just biked to PT?) but then loosened up a bunch. The foot felt fine!
Running 5:00 [3] 0.6 mi (8:20 / mi)

And then running on the treadmill for gate analysis. It's too bad it's kind of hard to video running gate while moving because I always feel a bit funny on a treadmill...
That being said, apparently I am doing a few things slightly weird.
One problem is that I'm using my ab and back muscles to raise my left leg instead of (or more likely as well as) my hip flexors. This is apparently compressing my lower back on the left side, which may contribute to nerve problems.
Another thing is that I kick off a little too late on the left side, so my ankle is getting a little too bent before kick-off, which could also contribute to the nerve issues (flexing my foot causes tingling).

We did a bit of plyometrics to work on changing the gate slightly and then I got back on the treadmill to run again, thinking about kicking off earlier.
It's a bit weird and feels super bouncy, but apparently it looks much better. I felt like I was jumping way up in the air, but the video claims otherwise. It's definitely much more work for my calves. Now I just have to successfully alter my gate without injuring myself in a new way...

Strength 10:00 [3]
Plyometrics and new set of (harder) stretchy-band glute exercises because I have outgrown the old ones. This is sad because it was nice to not be sore after doing stretchy-band glutes...alas.
triple extension with hop
Standing fire hydrants
Crab walk
Monster walk
Psoas march with band (ok this one isn't technically glutes)

Stretching 10:00 [3]
Normal stretching back at home. My toes tingle when I stretch my calf. This seems like a bad thing. Sigh.
