Long-Term Running Goals:

I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.

Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:)

Cross training here and there, without much direction. Finally had Dr. appointment today with sports doc who told me what I had already suspected. Lower disc issues and hamstring pull. PT starting next Monday. I'm excited becuase after following up next month, he is going to get me into a running clinic evaluation that my insurance will pay for since it is considered PT:)! All races on hold. Sanity still in check so far.

Slow miles. It feels like I haven't ran for months. On the bright side, loved the rain and loved running through the sprinklers. I felt like a puppy. I can totally goof off, stop, stretch and take in the scenery when I'm not so focused on pace and splits. 8:30 AP. I'm anxious for my PT app. on Monday to get a plan. Ruff ruff!

AM: 4 miles easy.  

PM: Ohh! So good to have some answers that finally make some sense! Today I saw an actual Physical Therapist, no Chiropractor mumbo jumbo. I loved her and wanted to put her in my little (GU) pocket and take her everywhere, especially to the gym with me! She listened and was so thorough. She kept asking and testing till she got it right and then created a great plan to follow. So I was a bit off with my initial diagnosis I gave myself. I thought I had injured my hamstring that connects to my butt bone- nope. I have injured my sacrotuberous ligament. that connects to my ischum, or bottom of spine. I guess it reeks havoc on everything else anyway. But the best part of this is that I discovered it is not the main concern or contributor. My pelvis is out of alignment, and just has been for most of my life. She said that not everyone is aligned perfectly and that's okay if they aren't athletes, but for runners it messes you up. That explains why I have multiple injuries that are always right side specific. I could have used this info in college. Sheesh. Anyway, she made a great plan for me and I plan to do it for the next month. 3hrs of PT exercise tonight, it wasn't easy. I would have rather gone for a run:) No running for next two weeks, bike and stretches are on the menu. Things are looking up and hope is starting to restore. Halleluiah!

Physical Therapy appointment. Stretches with lots of squats, spinning, and some other seemingly pointless but effective moves. 2 hours of exercise total. She changed her mind and gave me the go ahead to run a little.....

AM:I felt good today. This is a good sign- the last few runs have been promising. Pace was likely around 8:30-8:45. Ran with the women's group today. It's good to go with others, otherwise I try to be a hero and do stupid. Afterwards I did 1 hour of body weight exercises and PT exercises. I'm think I'm going to run Hobble Creek for fun. I threw out competitive races for the rest of the year- although Halloween Half looks fun again....

PM: Since Steve is training for a the Hobble Half, starting today (lol). We plan to run at nights. 2 hilly miles. He plans to build up to 6 before the race:)

AM: 1 hour of PT exercises and stretches. They are getting easier. Doing these daily have made the biggest difference for me. So glad I found some answers! Returning may not be as slow as I originally thought, I just have to be smart. Light running later on.

PM: , 2 miles with jogging stroller on same hilly route. Injuries have been very quiet lately! Can't wait for speed again.
