Running at the Beach

The last 2 weeks have been absolutely beautiful!!! I have been running with my friend Jake at the beach it's been awesome!

The sunrises have been amazing and you can see the snow covered mountains at the same time! The best part of living in Orange County is that I can be at the beach and looking at the mountains at the same time it's amazing!!! God is so good!

On Tuesday I ran 2 miles without wearing my leg wrap and had very little pain it was so exciting. Although since then I have had more pain so that's not good! But physical therapy is going good and we are making progress!!!

It's amazing we have only been running 2 miles everyday and it's gotten pretty easy for the most part to run that far. I am not pushing myself anymore I'm just enjoying it! I am excited for the day my therapist says I can run further and harder!!

Nerve test results

So i went to the orthopedic last week and they gave me the results of my nerve tests.

Well surprise, surprise nothing is wrong. Everything on the tests turned out perfect! So my doctor is totally stumped at what the problem could be...

So he said to try another physical therapist and see if that helps at all. I started working with a new therapist his name is Leo and so far he is really good! He thinks it could possibly be my IT band that is causing the problem so we have been doing a lot of stretches and stuff to try and get it working better! so we'll see if it helps at all.

Monday my friend Jake came and ran with me around the neighborhood. It was fun to have someone besides my dog running with me. Although Jake has not come back to run with me since then. He keeps telling me he is going to but we will see! hopefully tomorrow? :)
