AM-12 miles with the last 2 at MP effort. (1:22:10) 

 Right hamstring and sacrum are tighter than usual this morning. I think it's time to just go get a heel lift and raise the shorter leg until I can figure out how to correct this imbalance. That is if it can be corrected at all..  Trying to stay optimistic about this but it's been an ongoing thing for a few years now and it's time for some real answers.

AM-4 miles easy on the soft deck treadmill at Gold's. A less bone jarring and joint shearing choice than the usual concrete today. (29:21) flat level.

Good to see you back blogging! That Emerson quote in your Personal section is one of my favorites.

Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll find a solution to your leg imbalance issue. I suspect that's a common problem.

Take care Steve!

Hang in there and don't forget to hit the weights for the lower body. My hunch is a regimen of squats and dead lifts, done correctly, would solve your issue. They strengthen the lower body and rear like no other.

Glad to see you on the blog again, hope all is going well for you.

Thanks Jeff, Nice to hear from you again. Take care of that Achilles, I've been there..

Thanks Bob, definitely going to hit the weights soon.

You're welcome. I'm a ham-n-egger runner compared to you Steve, but a student of the game per se. Just some ideas u might consider that have worked for me.
