Personal: I am a 52 yr. old single father of four children. I am retired after injuring my back in 2000. I had back surgery, stopped running, and gained about 80 pounds. Decided to take my health into my own hands....lost 100 pounds, went to Nepal and trekked for two months in the Himalayas...climbed almost 18,000 ft.....felt so proud of myself....began running again. I qualified for Boston in Oct. 2009. I have shifted my focus now on ultra-marathons with the hope to run my first this year.

| 32 F, partly cloudy with strong winds out of the east @ 12 mph. 11.10 miles at a slow pace. Run was difficult....still have a cold and strong head winds on the back half. 1 hour and 35 minutes at an average pace of 8.56 minutes. Should have rested again today, but had a strong urge to run. |

Tread mill run....4.25 miles....could not go farther. This adductor pain is intensifying....actually, I've dealt with this for almost 2 months, hoping it would go away, and for the most part, it would after about 2 miles into my runs, but now, it gets worse as I go on. It looks like I will have to take about a week off of running....maybe longer....hopefully, I will still be able to run the May marathon. Very frustrating, but its part of the sport, I guess.
2 hours of strength training at the gym....chest and shoulders. |

no running.....adductor muscle injury....advised by my chiropractor to take at least 3 days off....in the meantime I am getting daily therapy there, and I will do outdoor biking when weather permits.

Ran on the tread mill today in the hopes of easing the impact. Ran 6.25 miles at an easy pace...8 minute miles. Pain was moderate throughout run...not gone...but the good news was I was able to run through it, and it just felt so good to run, even though this injury is still there. Not sure what I should do from here.....take a few more days off or run some short easy miles. I'll see how tomorrow is.
