The picture today was brunch! A leftover slice of thin crust pizza with egg and avocado on top! Was yummy , pizza can be part of a healthy diet! Thin crust better , thick crust ok if exercising a lot! But overall if you eat white and fluffy you will be white & fluffy!

Many have asked about how my hamstring avulsion occurred , so here goes ! July 4th headed up to Bridgton to run 4 on the fourth, it was raining but not cold.  I did not feel great, no sleep back was real tight but I have had those issues before and had good races!

So I but on my racing shirt , race did not go well from the get go and the last 1/2 mile I picked it up to about 6:20 pace and all of a sudden I had a big jab in my right glute and could hardly make it to the finish! Went home did all kinds of recovery took some anti-inflammatories got some relief !, enough that I could teach all my classes but running was real slow.  Went to PT, not better, had ultrasound, Dr. thought was just a calcification at ischial tuberosity so had prolotherapy, still not better and pain in hip and down quad now! Finally an MRI 9/16 which should the avulsion , a full tear of the hamstring.

Dr. Called that day , appt with Surgeon 2 days later and surgery a week later. It needed to be done ASAP since it happened 7/4. Surgery was a success, Dr used 3 anchors to reattach to by butt, now it’s lots of rest to heal properly! And as many of you know, not one of my best qualities. But let’s see how this blog goes!
