Dr. Richey simply makes it happen.

I have a hard time getting treatment or advice from just about anyone else at this point because he is just too good and he puts them all to shame.  I feel fortunate to know him.  Not only does he know how to fix muscle and tendon issues that come up, but he understands running intimately and is able to give sound recovery/training/stretching/mobility advice.  It’s a really good combination he’s got going on.

Oh…I didn’t mean for this post to be a Richey testimonial, but I guess it turned into that.

I meant to just write about how I’m feeling pretty good and recovered and looking forward to jumping back into some workouts next week. From 8 days ago when running a mile shot pain through my left leg, to today running for an hour pain free, I can’t complain about that time frame of recovery.  I can attribute it to 2 ART and graston sessions, not running for a week (swimming/biking for exercise), plus daily mobility exercises that Richey recommends.

And have you seen this day?

What a great day to be feeling good and to get out and run for an hour.  The song by joshua radin ‘brand new day’ came on the iPod shuffle today…and perfectly accentuated the greatness of the morning.  Running in the sun.  Feeling healthy.  Life is good.

Running stats for the morning: 7.5 miles – 53:30 – 440′ vert.

OK, that video is kind of messed up…but the message was a good one!
