9:23am – So, I’m sitting in the waiting room at Toronto’s top, if not one of the top Sports Medicine Clinics in North America, for my second ultrasound a week later. Checking up again on an old injury from last year to make sure it’s fully healed and that it doesn’t cause any problems down the line in my training. I’ve been taking it really easy for the past week so I can start breaking away the scar tissue and start building some new muscle.
9:41am – In the ultrasound room, and the doc is searching around my hamstring hard like he’s trying to find something. Could this be good news?
10:05am – Still in here… what is he trying to look for? He says “Well, I’m just playing around with it just to make sure.” (Pause)
10:07am – Anyways while he’s playing around with it (pause again lol)…I’ll give you guys a little update. I was suppose to open up this weekend at a meet downtown to get the legs going, but from this minor setback my opener is postponed to Feb 5. So, I will have just two shots at trying to hit “Canada’s standard of 6.61″ (which is exceedingly faster than the IAAF standard of 6.68) needed to get into the World Indoor Championships for March. I still think I can run the standard! The way I have been running and feeling these past two months have been beyond better than previous years.
10:14am – Finally done and some good news! Nothing but scar tissue which is easier to break up through laser and FSM (frequency specific microcurrent). Since I’ve been practically living at ISM receiving treatment, the scar tissue has already decreased by half in a week.
10:56am – Still here and waiting to hop on the FSM machine.
11:35am – Anyways back to my story. I had a bad hamstring issue last season (come to think of it now, it was probably a small tear). This caused me to miss weeks of my outdoor season and it finally healed (but not properly according to the ultrasound last week.) Scar tissue formed and not new muscle. Now that I’m using every single fiber in my hamstring, getting the extension with my legs, increased my hip flexibility, stronger, powerful and faster…I need to get rid of the scar tissue, and heal the muscle while forming new fibers.
12:11pm – Finally started my FSM treatment. Continue building that muscle….40 minutes to go : /
(yes I know, I’ve been here all day!)
1:07pm – Time to go get myself a sandwich for my lunch… then head home to do some riding, lift and then relax for the rest of the day and just take it easy. Finally out of there!
….and now time to Post!
Later!
