I've been working out on the bike alot lately. It's taken over my life and has beat out running as my primary form of exercise. I had great quads from running the marathon, so my body was shocked with the sudden hamstring and calf work outs. Anyways, with only 3 weeks of biking the back half of my legs equaled the strength of disintegrating marathon muscles in the front half of my legs.
The problem is that our company had a 'fun walk/run' on Thursday. Being a slightly competitive person, I wanted to run with the lead pack....which consisted of two guys. Anyways, I haven't run this fast in about 4 months and my quads were given a nice little shock. I got really stiff, knotty muscles as a result.
GOOD NEWS, however! I've been seeing a new chiropractor (with a cute receptionist) who performs Graston Technique. She uses custom made stainless steel bars to work out the little knots in my soft tissue. It hurts like hell, but it has cured (hopefully) my IT band problems. I hadn't run more than 5km until my first session, where I comfortably ran 10km.
Tomorrow will be another test for my leg, as I run the Melissa's 10km race in Banff, Alberta.
A little unrealted:
Here's a shot from my latest engagement session with Desiree and Kevin
