Prolly the best run post PHX marathon. It only took about 2 months.... but I actually felt like a runner again. Pain was there but maybe only like a 3/10. Ran a fairly hilly loop. Kept trying to just relax and run smooth. Ended up hitting a 6:36 avg for the run. With the effort feeling less. I know it's not going to be like this forever. But I really really really needed to just go run... and feel good.

I think you are on to something! You cut your run a little short on Saturday, minimal running on Monday, Biking on Wednesday, then you feel good on today's run. Keep mixing it up and listening to your body and I think your body will respond and heal.

Hang in there, Clyde! You'll be back in full form soon. No question about it.
