when I couldn’t straighten my leg or walk up stairs, I was itching to run. I kept thinking, yeah it hurts, but maybe, maybe if I run a little it will work itself out.
But I didn’t. I haven’t even gone to yoga, for fear for balancing on my leg might strain it even more. I’m like an over protective parent.
After 4 days on the roller, I can roll with crying, cringing or stopping. I can straighten my leg fully with little to no discomfort. I can tentatively attempt the stairs.
Which is great. But now I am scared to run.
Go figure!
UPDATE: Ran 1.5 miles this morning. No pain. A little twitchy probably induced by paranoid and not tendon. Rolled for 5 mins afterwards, quads tender.
Pleased with that, going to try a 45 minute run tomorrow.

Glad you were able to get in some pain free running!
