Houston Running: Orthopaedic Appointment Friday

Houston Running

One of the leading sources for the discussion of Houston-area (and Texas as well) road racing. Focus and attention will be given to Houston-area runners, specifically HARRA members, that compete in outside-of-the-area events as well as those who do interesting things that aren't captured in the various media outlets, such as Inside Texas Running, Runner Triathlete News and Roberta MacInnis' Running Notebook in the Houston Chronicle (all fine publications and columns but with limitations too).

Orthopaedic Appointment Friday

Well, I'm not taking any chances. I'm going in to see the orthopaedic doctor on Friday morning.

There are times where I can walk with without any pain or tightness and there are other times where things are bit of a challenge. I can lay on my left side, bend my knee and then flex the leg up and down and can specifically dial in on where there is something going on.

We'll see what goes on from here. Not going to put this off as it gets into a situation where it affects my ability at times to walk properly let alone run.
