Got off meds. I do stretching and strengthening exercises but hadn't heard of McKenzie exercises until today. I'm glad to know there is relief through these. I was still running anyway, addicted. Glad to hear you're back at it.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140227598936410259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23831487.post-72641031191987550922010-01-11T13:40:54.968-06:002010-01-11T13:40:54.968-06:00I'm leaving a quick update!

I am still doing the exercises every day. I am going to give myself 4 more months to become completely pain free and then consult with my doctor if necessary. The amount of pain is so minimal I am not worried. Flexibility is nearly normal again. In fact, I may be more flexible than I was before the injury.Andy Emersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06696181121334716726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23831487.post-44053590890174394852009-12-07T10:48:17.018-06:002009-12-07T10:48:17.018-06:00Thanks for the interesting read!

I also run somewhat long distance (just marathon distance); however this January my husband and I will be doing the Goofy challenge. Nice job at Boston in 2008! This April will be my first Boston (through running club waiver). <br /><br />I hope that your back is feeling much better. I do ashtanga yoga and have found that it has really helped my flexibility.<br /><br />take care,<br />alett<br />(petfxr@gmail.com)Toffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17997442680702037902noreply@blogger.com
