• Strength or Stretching or Fish Oil Works #twit2fit Magically, I think I can walk at a normal pace again.  As you can see below, I'm doing just about every strengthening and stretching exercise under the sun to try and recover (the AROM ones are physical therapy prescribed--Active Range of Motion).  I've been doing weights and other strengthening just......

• Piriformis bursitis I have not done a very good job of sticking with one of my implicit goals:  stay injury-free. In fact, I haven't been able to even log mileage at this point.  After a few weeks in physical therapy, I've actually uncovered a second issue--looks like piriformis bursitis.  I guess that......
