Easy run with the guys in Highland. Good turnout this morning :), it's always fun. No tempo for me today, my foot feel asleep again and wouldn't snap out of it. Annoying but manageable. Must have a pinched nerve. Chiro again today should help. 6:52

I was able to squeeze in a Tuesday run with the crew this morning from Matt's house in AF. I left my sleeves at home because the temp said 55 and was greeted with a cold strong wind. I think this made Reed and I go out quick so we could get warm. It was awesome to have 9 of us out on a morning that would definitely discourage many, and it was a fun one. Great to make some new friends.

Still struggling a little with some muscle groups causing some nerve pinching causing my right foot to fall asleep but it's more an annoyance than anything. I started a program with a new chiro/PT/massage therapist that should help get it under control quickly.

I may tone it down some for a few weeks just to help expedite the process. No biggie, I was going to "float" until after Turkey day anyway before the Boston cycle. 6:55

Chiro/stim/massage session followed by some strength and stretch. Good times... The massage girl is a beast :).

Ran 2 miles to the chiro appointment. He wanted me warmed up to see if some of my trouble/tight spots would respond better than they have been. It worked really well. He also lent me a pretty sweet stim machine for the next couple weeks that I think will be very useful. I feel like it's getting a little better every day.

Afterward I went to the gym for some low impact work on the elliptical. Did 6 miles of level 12 hills and called it a day. I actually got my HR above 135. Ready for a run in the am with the crew!

Cold run from Reed's with the crew. Felt smooth today. Foot didn't fall asleep the whole time. I was going to do a 2 mile pickup and it felt really good... so I shut it down at a half mile instead of pushing it. Need to be patient. I decided not to race the 10k tomorrow, even though I really want to. 6:52

Did the double bonneville route this morning with Caleb. Ran it on the easier side which was fine for today. Chilly but very nice on the trails. Some dry, some wet, and some snowy sections made it most fun :). 1267 vert. I really like the Altra Superior so far. 8:15
