31 days after another injury...

September 5th...31 days later...finally run/walk again for the past week and today I ran a full 3 miles. Damn muscles...not the "big" ones that get all the attention like your glutes, abs, biceps, calf or thigh. It is the little muscles like the piniformis and hip abductors that cause me to have problems!!! Again, it is a lot like life. People can get the "big" things right. But it is the "little" things that trip us all up!

September 17th...I've been running every morning for the last 6 days!!! 3 miles daily until today, Saturday, I ran 4.266 this morning. A little pain in my left hip. I stretched my piniformis and the pain went away!! I'm looking forwards to resting tomorrow!

Looking back I ramped up the mileage to early for this old body of mine to take it. I have some patience but not enough to keep me from biting off more than I can chew.

48 days till Marathon day!!! Ok, I have no chance of qualifying for Boston (that will have to wait till next year) but I can take my time and enjoy running my first marathon this year.

For now I guess I will celebrate the end of a full week of running and look forward to Monday!!
