80 minutes of yoga. Other than a little PT, entirely off for nine days which is the longest brake in a few years. I started to feel unhealthy.

20 minutes of stairmaster with weights. I wanted to go 60 but I had strong mental resistance. With the long workout yesterday in the 9 pm hour, I decided my body was saying back off a smidge.

30 minutes of stairmaster. Various PT.

I am under no specific regimen right now. I get such conflicting views on everything, I don't trust anyone. And while their explanations of what is wrong are attractive, their solutions do not make intuitive sense which is what ultimatley causes me to walk away.

I at least feel like I know what is wrong. High hamstring tendintis/tendinosis, adductor magnus strain and various points of inflammation from all of it. Nothing serious. I strongly believe it all derives from weak and imbalanced hips and glutes, and hamstrings, psoas muscles and piriformis muscles that do not have full range of motion. The trick is where to begin. Some have me doing things that are too hard and cause strain. Others would have me do minimal movements that do little more than irritate muscles without any noticeable improvement. The one constant is that they all have completely different approaches. I have been learning a lot and I have ideas, but I am afraid to run after my hip cramped up a couple weeks back and I feel like I can't get out there again until I achieve no pain in these areas. My focuses will be strengthening and stretching with a good dose of yoga as part of the mix. And enough cross to stay somewhat fit (I hate it so). If I don't see improvements through November, I will seek out additional guidance.

A little check in 30 minute cruiser on the BST behind my office. No different as expected.
