Week 21 - Back in regular shoes and gaining flexibility! April 27, 2009
Posted by neteng in Uncategorized.trackback
It has been a while since I have posted. The last time I posted I was suffering quite a bit from overdoing it the prior weekend. It has come and gone over the past several weeks. Just when I think I feel good enough press further I get a reminder that I have a long road still ahead. I am still experiencing a lot of stiffness and lack of dorsiflexion. It has been slowly improving and I can work on stretching and get quite a bit past neutral in a calf stretch. However, if I don’t stretch for a couple of hours it still gets quite tight and I feel like I am starting all over again.
I was able to buy new shoes and put my “heel lift” shoes away. It does feel good to be without impediments. Once stretched out I can walk fast enough to keep up with most people and have only a slight limp. The limp is probably caused most by the result of my weak calf.
I plan on beginning to go back to the gym and do some walking around the track and light treadmill work. I also hope to do some some low resistance exercise bike work. I feel like I am progressing slowly but surely. I still feel like I am a long way from even attempting to try to jog. Hopefully now that I can wear regular shoes and get back into a gym regiment my recovery will speed up a bit.
