PT yesterday went OK - some ultrasound and then massage work. The hammie felt pretty good when I left, but I took a rest day to let my trashed quads recover some. The therapist was surprised that my Saturday workout had been OK'd by the sports doc and the chiropractor, but when I told her that they asked me to take trekking poles, she seemed OK with that.
Based on suggestions from the sports doc, I set up PT appointments twice per week until I leave for a week in Costa Rica on 6/14.
Tonight, I have a meeting right after work, but it's right beside the gym, so I'll work out in the gym after work. Tomorrow, I'm planning an easy 6 or so, but I have an 8:00 a.m. meeting and a post-work "going-away" celebration. Maybe I'll sneak out for a six miler at lunch tomorrow. I haven't run at lunch since I started this job, so maybe it's time.
My attendance at Sunday's race is still about 50-50. I want to go, but I don't want to injure myself by trying to do an ultra if my stride is compromised.

Costa Rica? That sounds nice.
How far away is the race? Use it as a training run? Or not.
I'm chaperoning a school trip to Costa Rica. It's the Spanish Club and both Spanish teachers are female, but 7 of the 11 students going are male. I got my trip basically for free for agreeing to be the male chaperone.
The timing is somewhat bad, mostly because I have to take all kinds of meds to prevent tropical illnesses and I could still get something anyway - right before WS. But, it should be a fun trip.
The race is about 3.5-4.0 hours away in Maine.
