Decided to race the Dam to Dam 10 mile kind of last minute. It turned out ok. It was the first time I had tried to run hard since my injury. Long story short, I wanted to go out conservative and run a mild progressive. Ended up going out too fast (as usual lol), and my sciatic flared about half way through. Went into survival mode and gutted out a slow 1:07 finish. Sad when I ran a 64 with ease the week before.

 About 10 minutes after I could hardly walk and had problems with the back until the chiro appointment on Monday. Will focus on removing bad habits and running within my means moving forward.

Great to meet Melody finally and see her run an awesome race. I hope to meet up with her again when I am back to full strength. Also cool to meet Tyler S.  

I will run this again next year, and if healthy it will be a much different tale :).

Tuesday Half. Plan called for 13 so I stretched it a tenth. Was harder than it was supposed to be but I was sick yesterday so I'll take it. 13.11 in 1:31:18 and a real slow cooler mile in 10:00.Back was tight so I did some dynamic stretching after. Ankle is still angry. I may have to adjust my spring schedule if it doesn't calm down. I think the back is a byproduct of compensation for the ankle.

Easy zero impact recovery on the Elliptical. Just moving blood.
