Rest day - mobility

Took today off and just worked on mobility. Saw the trainer up and school, she didn't really tell me much I didn't already know, but did show me a few more rehab exercises which was what I was looking for. She also suggested that biking would be beneficial, and mentioned that rehab actually should involve a little bit of pain with this type of injury as long as its low on the scale. That surprised me but was actually encouraging because it makes me think that maybe the amount of tenderness I have been feeling from rehab is acceptable and isn't something to obsess over. So I am just going to keep sticking with the rehab and start doing it every day instead of alternating (she suggested that as well). Trying to not get impatient and just to focus on the improvement I have made. So the main switch I will be making is to get on the bike more and to do rehab every day to strengthen up my adductors which are damn weak right now. I didn't have any pain when she tested me in the different planes so that was encouraging.

Mobility for today: front rack + levator, box squat adductor stretch, hip socket distraction, upper rib massage, lower rib massage w/ IR, calves, foot massage, shins

I will note that I have also been doing massage around the hip flexor area every night to try to create some slack - TFL/flexor wod, psoas, lower back, quads, occasionally hammies

• Nutrition: Better. Don't feel so food obsessed today.
• Body: Shins and feet are still damn sore from the foot drills the other day and I am loving it. Good to note for when I get back to running. I have noticed that stretching out my neck daily helps my shoulder/neck position feel better almost instantly. Never realized how tight that area got in the front and the back, and I have always had an issue with the "chicken neck" position. I love the IR stretch and tying in the neck - frees up a lot of that area. Hip flexor is a little sore on the surface but the muscle actually feels ok. Will resume rehab tomorrow.
• General: Going to get back on the CFE bike schedule since that was a nice pain-free activity. Tomorrow will also be a spin off of some "cindy" type work. Side goal: spend less time sitting.
