| Bonneville Golf Course loop. This felt like two different runs. The first part not so good, the second part not so bad. | | Add Comment |

| The Black Sheep group was running hills today and I didn't feel up to that with my SI issue. So I warmed up with the group and then Kathryn and I ran a few more easy miles. We connected back up with the group for the flat part of the workout, which was 6 x 400m, half flat/half hill. Fortunately the rest of the group, i.e., Josh, were already wiped out from running the hill repeats before this and it at least appeared that I could hold my own. The SI followed the typical pattern today; pain in the first couple of miles, and tapering off after that. It's actually not so bad once it warms up but it's no fun at the beginning. I'm trying hard to run with my pelvis tilted forward, and really work the forward lean. ChiRunning, basically.

From 15th/15th with Josh, Megan, and Amy. Josh and Megan are running Boston in a few weeks and gradually winding toward the taper. Josh says sub 2:50 would make him happy, but he's running with sub 2:40 fitness right now, I think. We ran the HCI loop, with fog, snow, hail, and a little rain at various points. It was never coming down hard, though, and was actually a great morning for running. The chiro told me to track closely how long the SI pain lasts in my run. Today, it was at about 2.5 miles that it started to dissipate. That was after stopping and stretching for a minute to wait for the light at Foothill to turn. It was still talking to me for about another mile after that, but the rest of the run was not bad at all.

| A small ray of hope in the run with the Radda crew this morning. Whereas I have typically had real pain in the first few miles of a run, today the SI felt much more stable right from the start. I could still notice it, but it wasn't something I had to think about with every step. I ran comfortably for the first 4.5 and then Sam and I added a couple of "spicy" miles on Wander lane, 6:20's. Not quite ready for the full tempo burst yet, but feel like I'm able to put a little more stress on my legs with less risk. I also had a chiro adjustment after the run. So, we'll see how it goes day-to-day. Saturday I may be up for 12-15 if things feel ok. I have an appt. with Dr. Macintyre tomorrow also and could use his additional input. | | Add Comment |

Bonneville Golf Course loop. Another fairly encouraging run. Definitely aware of the SI at the start (but no "pain") and if I stretch a bit after a few miles I don't have to think about it too much. The one thing that's proving to be a challenge is running at pace downhill.

Today's run was the longest in a few weeks, at least since I've had the SI problems. Things held up really well today. I had a hard time chasing Casey up to Wasatch at the end of the footbridges while we were heading south, but overall I found I could run with little discomfort. This actually turned out to be a decent week of training, all things considered. Dr. Macintyre saw a lot of improvement in the movement of the joint yesterday and said I shouldn't need to go back to him for now. I will continue going to the chiro, however. I think that has helped the SI and probably improved my running economy overall. | | Add Comment |
