A torrential downpour and lightning storm took me out of the game for the one time I would have been able to run today. I did get in a good massage with Terrel Hale, though, which will hopefully help my lingering hip flexor (and hamstring) issues.
Time: 23:43
I found a good place to park and run on the path in Rock Creek Regional Park when I visit Terrel Hale in Rockville.
The run this morning was not great, as I was stiff and both my right hamstring and left hip flexor got sore very quickly. It was too bad, as the weather was good and it was nice to be on a path in the woods.
Stretching: Terrel helped me with some very active hamstring stretches.
Massage: Massage and ART on hamstrings, adductors, and psoas.
Time: 17:00
Early morning jog in Bethesda at Civic Center Park near the Rock Creek Regional Park. Just a bit of a warm-up run before a massage.
Massage: I had my first appointment with Terrel Hale, a DC-area massage therapist who has generously offered to help me get back on my feet. He did some active release on my hip flexors, quads, glutes and psoas. None of it was too rough and I left feeling good.
Stretching: Worked with Terrel on some hamstring stretches.
