Thankfully a quiet week after the craziness of the last few weeks. I felt really tired & flat all week - not surprising I suppose given that the alarm went off at 3.20am on Monday morning so I would be ready for my 3.50am transfer from our hotel at Main Beach to the airport for my 6am flight! Needless to say, Monday was a long day at work...
After my run on Tuesday I have been experiencing some pinching in my hip - it feels like the head of my femur & hip socket aren't getting on very well - so except for an upper body weights session on Thursday, I've rested all week. R & I are heading down to Shellharbour for the weekend - my running shoes are packed but right now, I think the odds are stacked against a long run. Oh well, I'll just have to stay in bed instead ;-)
Today I went to see a physio recommended by Easy Tiger for a biomechanical assessment. ET suggested that while I was (relatively) injury-free, it might be a good time to get an assessment as he isn't convinced (nor am I) that we have solved the underlying source/cause of my (persistent) injury problems. I am very impressed with the physio - he takes a holistic approach (training, strengthening and running style) rather than just focusing on the symptoms. I'm heading back to see him on Monday to go through the footage he took of me running on the treadmill today & a program. I'm feeling positive that finally we might just be getting to source of my underlying problems - then look out world ;-P

He sounds good Jen. Look out trails :)
What a great idea to get that done while you are un-injured. Can't wait to hear what the report says.
Sounds good Jen. I'm a BIG fan of the holistic approach.
Jen,
Thanks for the support on the marathon weekend.
My physio went for a run with me - nothing like value added service to see the issues.

Isn't it good having Tiger on our side. It is good to have someone we trust.
Hi Jen, I have been meaning to visit for a long time. Cirque raves about you and I keep coming across your comments across the Blog world and I thought it was about time I did make my presence known.
I like the holistic approach too. Like you I have had my long share of running injuries and have been looking at getting an assessment done. It is expensive, though, and I have been tossing up the pros and cons. I will be interested in your outcome.
soooooo...did ya run?
