    Ran to and from PT again today. I’m up to 4 runs a week - 3 of which are “actual” runs and 1 is a 10 min warm up on my treadmill before I do my at home pt. The posterior tibial tendinitis I think is fully healed. I get some minor pain in my lower foot - kind of inside of my heel - which are joints gapping a bit too much. It’s another symptom of just lacking any structure at all in the foot and will probably be chronic but the pain level is very much acceptable. If I go in for new orthotics I may see if they can put some support in there too.

    I ran a total of 9 miles last week. I can’t believe it. We’re starting to get into the territory where pre pt I’d feel pretty good nagging pain along my ankle next day. Today I accidentally ran 3.15 miles total (with 60 min pt in between) which is more than I’ve run since April. It feels good to be back.

    Best part: starting first week of December I’m going down to 1x a week pt!! I am really going to miss the foot/PTT massages she does at the end of every session and I’m also gonna miss having that dedicated time and space to work out. I’ll need to just start getting up before the fam does if I want to keep this momentum.

      Can you tell me a bit more about you’re experience with PTT? I have it, just crept in during my last month of marathon training. Managed to do the Philly marathon yesterday but my ankle is killing my today (which I was expecting). Curious to know how long you had to take off from running and what your recovery/strength training looked like??? Like do you think rest and strength training at home are enough to get rid of it or you would recommend a PT ?
