I went back for a little physical therapy today, after logging slightly more miles this January than last January. I’ve run two strong races (including a personal record in a 5k) in the last two months, so I’m pretty sure that snowice shoveling was a major factor in my sacroiliac injury flaring up again. The high mileage (60 miles in a week) didn’t help, but I’m pretty sure that I would have gotten by fine without shoveling ice (and sliding on it).
On the positive side, this injury has “inspired” me to put up with the small muscle exercises that will help keep me healthy in the long run. I don’t deal with these exercises well. I prefer hard but simple (running, pushups, sit-ups) exercises over complex (yoga poses, figure four stretches, and all of these exercises).
I did manage 2 sets of 25 situps, and 270 pushups (10×25 + 1×20).
