relentless forward progress

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...

Chiro and strength training.

45 minutes of good hard circuit training, core and upper body. Followed it up with an easy 6 on the elliptical.

Scored a pair of free shoes for my picture in the St George finishers guide, mizuno wave evo cursoris. Some zero drop goodies for when I'm healthy. That and a good talk with the terminator last night and i am inn a much better mood. 

I took a day off and tried to not feel guilty about it. It almost worked.. :)

Happy V day!

Fun run on the alterG. Easy warmup, 50 minutes at 15 incline, easy cooldown, all at 75%. Focused on form. Felt good today after treatment and a gluteus Maximus attachment scrape. The treatment today was on one of my vertebrae that was stuck and my sacrum that was out of position. Both are now in much better places. This is the best I have felt in a couple weeks, now I need to not screw it up lol. The new mizunos are sweet. The toe box is wide and the foam is nice and springy, also very light.

am1 - a half hour of yoga focused on the hips, adductors, core, and lower back. I learned that this will be very useful and that I am weak lol.

am2 - 2 mile warmup on the elliptical. 1 hour on the treadmill at 20 -24 incline, MP to HMP effort. 5411 vert. 3 mile cool down on the elliptical. 

My glute feels fantastic today despite the huge bruise from scraping it yesterday. I hope I am moving forward again, it feels like it.
