Core strength on the Huber. Massage, treatment, and a nice gluteal scraping lol. So bruised up. Then a good run on the alter G. Put 2 miles at 5 minute pace on a 3 incline at 80%  to keep it interesting.

Being injured is lame. Its mentally exhausting, especially with a marathon less than 8 weeks away. I'm beginning to think Boston has something against me. Some days i feel like throwing all of my gear in the trash. Today and yesterday were a couple of those days. I always feel better after some running though, just wish it was real running...

Hang in there man. I know it sucks. But when you pull through this, it will be worth the effort you are putting in.

Don't give up! Boston can really be fun - maybe even more fun without the pressure. That's how I felt about the heat last year - you can't control it, so don't let it control you. I really do hope you overcome this soon. Sending over happy healing vibes!

Hang tough my man. 2 moths is long time to get healthy.

Great job keeping with it. Injuries can be disheartening. Keep your fitness up as best you can, you've got time enough.

Your best running days are ahead of you. Take it day by day.... When this is all said and done, you will be a PR factory.
