AM: (8 miles, 1:10:23). Sunny, warm, but still cooler than the height of summer, so I found myself a little faster at all my landmarks. I fed my horse friends and then scooted home to go up to Phoenix to see John. He is buying a new building and expanding his practice - so he has a new partner. They BOTH worked on me today -- I spent about an hour in pain, they basically tag-teamed me. But, they worked on my calf/ankle (the one that has been giving me so much trouble the past two weeks), my hips (that are always bad) and my back (which is probably the root of most of my problems). My lower leg was very bad, John hardly ever says this to me but he said, "that is really bad". I think it will take a few more visits to "heal" - but tonight was the first time I was not limping on my run in a long long time. PM: 4 miles. First off, CONGRATULATIONS to all you studette (and studly) runners, especially Scott, Paul, Michelle and Kelly!! AMAZING runs! Second, Fasil Bizuneh won the USATF 10 mile championship today, a national champion 6 weeks from Chicago! Yea Team USA Arizona (and the McMillan group!). I won a t-shirt from USATF (autographed by Joan Benoit) for correctly predicting him for the win!
