7 miles.  It was ugly.  I have been feeling pretty good this week and thought I was ready to go.  I met Tina at the track and we did a couple of fairly easy miles down there.  I was feeling it but it was tolerable, so we hit the roads.  It just gradually got worse until I had to stop at about 5.5 miles.  Tina ran home to get her car.  I stretched out the piriformis and then was able to continue slowly for another 1.5 until she picked me up.  I obviously can't tolerate the running even after 2 weeks off and beginning to feel better with the P.T.  Boston is out, but we'll be there to watch or maybe at least start it.  More P.T. this week.
