??? Chicago Marathon ??? Long-Term Running Goals: Find balance. Run with my girls. Break 15 in the 5k. Personal: Born in 1973 in Southern California.
Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.
Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

No reason in particular for running that much today. I wanted to see what 50k felt like, and had the day open to convalesce on the couch.
I was kind of hoping I'd see leprechauns dancing around double rainbows or something, but mostly I was sore and bored.
It did occur to me that maybe my hamstring soreness is like a charlie horse that just needs to be worked out. After 31 miles, I am pretty sure it is actually plain injured.

Was hoping for more on both runs, but the expected holiday week slowdown didn't materialize.
What did materialize was a dew point drop from 72 to 35 over the span of ~24 hours. Running felt incredible today despite the the long run yesterday. Every person I saw out there was running fast.
Surreal, exciting, annoying.

PM: 11 miles at track with Sean and Jim. Pretty deserted since Clearwater Turkey Trot is around the corner. I did a long ladder workout: 100s, 200s, 300s, 400s & 600s coming out to 6.5 miles of speed. None of it too fast, a lot around 5:30 pace.

| AM: 9 miles. I got Elise to run a mile with me while my wife was out running, and Anna rode in the jogging stroller.
Then I went out for the rest of my run. My mechanics have been noticeably off while I've been dealing with this hip/hamstring issue. I find myself clenching the opposite side fist, probably because of the weakness in the opposing side.
So ironically, I was running and really trying to focus on my form when I tripped and hit the ground hard. I was just concentrating too much on my upper body and not looking down.
Instinctively I turned my right shoulder down to buffer the impact. I was running low 6 minute pace, so the impact was considerable. I was able to jog home, but it was pretty clear something was wrong. Not time to linger on it - packing, drive to Jacksonville.

| I woke up on Thanksgiving and couldn't raise my arm, so I went to the ER. The good news is that nothing is torn or broken. I have a strained ligament in my right shoulder, and the doctor told me to expect 2-6 weeks off running.
Thanksgiving was Elise's 7th birthday, and we had a great time celebrating that and the holiday with Allison's parents and sister's family.
I put off thinking about my running situation completely and had a good time. At some point I'll deal with running realities, but at the moment I can barely move my arm, so why bother.
