Thankfully it has not and hopefully I am far enough along in my therapy that it wont come back like that. I am expecting some pain, and can handle that, just do not want a relapse. |

| Bit chilly. 17 w/6 degree wind chill. Run felt 'ok' and honestly that is to goal for now. My therapist gave me the 'ok' to increase my mileage some so that is great news. On a side note, she video taped me running and reviewed it with some people. They said I was running VERY stiff. I watched it and agreed, the problem was fear. I am afraid to loosen up because I am waiting for it to hurt. That is something I need to get over. They also said I was heel striking and wanted me to consider changing that. I honestly have never been a fan of changing my gait but maybe should, but when? I want to build my base back, and quickly get ready for Boston. Honestly I am not even sure how to go about it, I mean I have already read tons about it, but I have no desire to run barefoot (yes that is extreme). |

| 26- cold... very cold and brisk windchill in the single digits, and kinda painful feeling it. All the same I enjoyed getting out and getting in a decent run. I ran two miles sub marathon pace (Mile 15 was one of them). I figured out I can get to my pace and hold it, just not going to be able to hold it for 26.2 at this time in my running. This is not the point though, I really want to integrate the speed in slow, but best I can before the marathon. All this without aggravating my quad (nerve), that makes me happy :) |

| Nice day to run in the high 40's. Still windy but good weather. Ran on paths not near the house with some hills. About mile 3 my insides were knotting up! I did not eat anything weird, but I did have two cups of coffee and I usually do not drink it so that must have been in. There just is no cool way to walk out the woods and back on the path is there? They should invest in porta potties. Oh well, felt better after that. I feel good. Not strong, not fast and not 100%, but I feel good and if that stays the same I will be very happy at this time. |

I figure I just want to get to that starting line again and whether I run a 7:15 pace or a 9:30 pace I am not sure it is going to matter. I did take some Vitamin1 before the run and it felt alright. Other than a bug that flew in my eye at mile 12, just soaked up this run. |

| Started my run at 53 degrees and was 70 in 2 hours. Humid today. Almost got hit at mile 13 thanks to guy who did not invest in the 'blinker package' for his truck. It was a nice truck too so you would think he would paid the extra for it. Ran out of fuel and water so the last 5 were a bit of a gut check. 8:59 ap just getting the miles in. |

AM- 63, nice weather, easy 4 PM- 81, hot again, some hills then trails. Quad spasm in the first mile but then felt good, ran a few fast miles, last one at mp and felt strong.... Hope this continues. Maybe too little too late for Boston, but I will take it. 7502 is my bib, somehow I am in the first wave. Going to have to figure out how to find some of ya.

| Great running temps, 63. 20 felt good today, tired at the end, but I think that's normal right? 8:24 AP. Goal was to just run them and see if I could get any miles in the 'marathon' trot. I had a few sub 8's that felt easy- first time during recovery I can say that so that is a good sign. Maybe I will be able to get a round or two of speed work in before Boston, but I won't push it. |

AM run - 41, easy New shoes arrived while I was at work. I planned on running a short PM run anyway (4.5), so why not break them in. 7:51, 6:51, 6:41, 6:31 (.5). Wow am I out of shape when it comes to speed. I wasn't running all out, but I figured I'd push some. I am going to have to get 100% and really put some effort into this late spring.

So I started today wanting to run 20, but this would be the 4th straight 20 miler on Sat. Normally when I am logging big miles I wouldn't think to much about it, but I was sore yesterday and if I am trying to run by feel (pfeel?) - I better give what the body can take... or is that take what it can give. Either way. So I decided on 16 today. I was trying to figure out what would be a 'realistic' goal for Boston. I just want to enjoy it, but I am a competitor. I figure if I can get under 3:30 for a recovery I would be more than satisfied. I set the Garmin for 8 minute miles. Yeah a year ago that would be easy, but now it is tough for me to hold that long term Hour before the run I had my bang bang (dynamite-spicy) shrimp. I did not know if that was smart or not, but it worked out well enough. 16 Miles, AP 7:52, splits 7:59, 7:53, 7:57, 7:52, 7:45, 7:48, 7:51, 7:51, 7:59, 7:58, 7:50, 7:55, 7:52, 7:53, 7:58, 7:27. Some of these were on hills and a pretty constant head wind so I was happy to keep it even. The last mile I sped it up to my old MP and had plenty in the tank at the end so a good run. Finish off with one of my non-dairy, coconut water based fruit smoothies. Yum-o!

| Back home- that and great running weather make me happy. Nice, crisp 48 degrees to run in. I was really debating what to run today. I ended up deciding on a 'quick' or quicker than last Saturday 13 miles + warmup/cool down. Run was good, have to cross the pre-run pizza off the list though. I also did this without any Advil (I was taking on my long runs). Splits 7:55, 7:56, 7:19, 7:44, 7:19, 7:59, 7:29, 7:56, 7:22, 7:52, 7:55, 7:54, 7:53 Overall I was good with these. These match my Indy training of 18 months ago, so I am getting some fitness back without any big workouts. Let's see how the body fairs during and after Boston. AP 7:44 |

We decided to make the trip to Boston a two day affair and get a room in NY
about 4 hours away. This was so we could surprise the girls with a stop off at Niagara Falls. They had
no clue we were going and even after seeing some signs saying the falls were the
‘same direction’ figured there was no way we were stopping since we were clear
that we would do some sight seeing in Boston while I was there to run. They
really enjoyed that stop and took many a picture. My oldest daughter graduates
this year (time… it just vanishes) and she is very much into photography. She
is very good with Photoshop and is helping do wedding pictures this fall. Maybe
I will post some Falls pics with race ones she took. So what about the younger?
Well the way into Boston
Saturday was the stop at the American Doll shop. Yes, I was patient with many
other dads and then off to the hotel.
The Marriott downtown was nice, but wow is the cost of
everything in Boston
high. I actually booked a hotel out of town, but mom had a surprise call and helped
us get a room down town. Very cool.
Sunday was full, started out catching the 5K with Erik (Hamdog)
– It was good to meet him and is a pretty darn nice guy (and he doesn’t finish
last). I was happy to meet his family and we watched Andrea finish the 5K. She
had a great race – mid 17’s well on her way to sub 17. Shortly there after I
got me meet Jon (JG), Amy (Steam), Jake, Andrea and Rachelle – everyone was as
nice as they are on here if not more so. We went for a few mile run to be loose
for Monday (cept Amy, she had that shot in her knee, but at least she got to
experience the marathon and I was thrilled for that). It was really good to
talk to everyone. I am holding Jake to his training tips, but he is making me
get on the track…
Monday was the moment. I knew it was a long road back from
injury (or at least it seemed so) but going into the weekend I thought I had a
shot at a PR if we had a tailwind. Then the heat forecast came out. Then it
kept getting worse. I am sure everyone is well aware of the heat – that was the
topic of the marathon. So the plan? Start out strong, but controlled, if the
heat did not bother me I would go for it, if not just enjoy the ride.
Here is how it went down… er at least what I recall …
Miles 1-2 7:39, 7:37
I felt really good. Paces right were I wanted them with almost no effort, ready
to kick it down if I kept feeling this way. I was also very loose and keeping
it ‘light’ with the runners around me.
Mile 3. 7:53 This
is where I actually felt the heat a bit. I figured I still wanted a good race,
but I better back it off for the next several miles and see how she went. The
mood was still light and fun though and I took the time to high 5 all the
little kids out there.
Mile 4. 7:50 This
was not on the ‘things to see’ in Boston.
So we all know people have to ‘go’ at moments there are no available bathrooms.
Usually not a problem as people run off the course a bit and take care of
needs. So less that a few feet off the course a lady decided she had to go and
dropped it all. A full moon was not on my list for Boston, but we sure got it. Seriously?
Miles 5-6 7:59, 7:47 The
miles were not peeling off anymore.. It was certainly warm, but manageable I
thought. I still was joking around, but I noticed others were starting to
labor. It was awfully early in the race for so many people around me to be
working this hard.
Mile 7 7:58 Most
of the people I kinda paced with early on had fallen off. At mile 7!? I believe
this was the first of many road signs they had up that said HOT HOT HOT, at
first I took it as a compliment, but then I realized they wanted to remind us
of what we already knew… IT WAS HOT…duh…
Mile 8. 8:10 I
staggered back my pace some. I was feeling it a bit and did not want to crash.
I marked this as the ‘let’s forget the Garmin and soak in the event’ mile.
Mile 9-11 8:26, 8:07,
8:42 Some up and downs as Boston
is full of, but I was enjoying the people and fun times here. The families with
sprinklers, a guy racing as ‘Waldo’ and kids with squirt guns abound! The support
was second to none.
Mile 12-13. 8:29, 8:25
Wellesley. They
did not disappoint. I was happy to see a Republican, a Baseball Fan and a Time
Lord in the mix.
Mile 14. 8:26
Halfway , I felt okay, but the heat was even affecting even my sense of humor.
I still went out of my way high 5 kids, but I was very happy to see the fire
department open some hydrants.
Mile 15-16 8:35, 8:36
Mellow miles, convincing myself that the good news is the humidity was low. Oh
and another big fat sign telling us it was hot and to hydrate. Thanks.
Mile 17 9:06
bathroom stop. Every marathon so far I have one and just one potty break. This
killed me. Why? That porta potty. Sure I was only in there for 20 seconds, but
the temperature in that thing was at least 20 degrees warmer. For the first
time, I felt sick from the heat. I got back on the road and trotted for a few.
Mile 18 9:27 The
first half mile here I was trotting trying to get that sick feeling to pass.
Mile 19-20 8:46, 9:17
I started to feel better after getting sprayed off and more fluids, but I am
not sure I ever was 100% back after that stop.
Mile 21 9:37 Paul
said Heatbreak Hill was for tourists… well on this day, I was a tourist. The
heat made that more difficult that it should have been.
Mile 22-23 8:43
The down hills following. I walked as I drank my cups of water/Gatorade here on
out.
Mile 23-24 9:15, 9:11
The crowd was great through out, but as we got to these last 4 miles it was
incredible support. Here is where high 5’ing the kids cost me. I saw some little
ones and made sure I got them… well then there was a wall of them so I kept
going. I swear there was over a half mile of kids to high 5 and I got them all.
I was beat after that all joking aside. I could not wait to grab some water.
Mile 25 9:39 I was
getting my ‘almost done’ feeling when I saw these very cool flaming shorts. I
though, hey a guy on our blog wears shorts like that. As I went to pass him I
was like… wait… that is Mike (rt). He did not look well, I stopped and
introduced myself but I am still not sure he knew who the heck I was. He told
me he did not wear the matching shirt, but the heat was brutal. I told him I
was the idiot who wore all black.
Mile 26 9:25 The
family was yelling at shouting, it was funny because they were between a family
from Canada and a family
from Mexico
who helped them yell. They were afraid I would not see them in the crowd and
honestly in my daze I am glad they got some help shouting. I stopped for a
second to hug the girls and finish up.
Mile .2 7:58 (pace) That gave me to break I
needed to finish up running stronger.
Horrible heat, but would I do it again? You bet I would. I
know this was not a great event for many and I am now pretty positive I could
have finished at least 35-30 minutes faster on a cool day, but I don’t care
really, it does not make it a bad marathon. I honestly enjoyed the experience.
That night we walked all over and yes I wore the medal. The
people were really nice and supportive. I enjoyed the Commons and Gardens. That
night I woke up twice breaking a fever. After a little research - could have
been slight dehydration, but who knows. I feel fine nowJ. Anyone who read all
of that… sorry! And sorry x2 as I typing this on the road… who knows the errors
it may contain!

| Today my 11 year old ran her first 5K. It was part of a street festival. Our church has a parade we are apart of and we run the 5K before. She really did not prepare fully for it, but I have been making time to run with her all the same. I was not sure she really could run the whole thing since she never made it 3 miles (at once) in our running together. So we made it out on a little chilly morning (40)with some cold drizzle to boot. I am thrilled to say I paced her all the way start to finish and she never gave up! She ran the whole distance and I was one very proud dad. Un-importantly she was 7th (of 14) in her age group. She was very excited about this and now claims she is going to run every day and see what she can accomplish. (I believe the awards the others got was motivation). I would love it if she keeps with it from this age, but even if she doesn't this has been a great day! |

Went to a new doc today. He came highly recommended and has helped people like Arnold S(however you spell his name) when he was on his fitness tours as well as countless runners. Problem? He is expensive. We did some joint adjustments in the pelvic area and lower back. Also used a cool laser (not like neat, actually cool as is cold) on my aductor area as after much prodding and tweaking there was much scar tissue here. 1 Week no running. Bummer. Many treatments coming... says his goal is getting me running in just over a week. I am cautiously optimistic, but he has all kinds of little tools (he says European athletes use, but stateside insurance wont cover of course). Anyway, not real happy, but don't worry about me, go check on Steam!

| 3rd visit to the doc. I can run two miles and bring it up from here. As long as I keep it slow until next wed. After many adjustments, workouts, stretches, cool laser treatments, x-rays and overall poking he is convinced that the nerve area is no longer a problem (at least not much of one). The remaining injury is the pectineus muscle and still adductor area. So far treatment has been good, but without pushing the miles or speed I am unsure of total progress. The cause? Always a mystery but during all the testing he was very surprised/impressed how strong my muscle areas were for having that much pain manifest itself in the quad area... until... my hamstrings. He told me my flexibility in my hamstrings were like a 90 year old man. He asked me what I was doing to correct this... and well... hey are we suppose to stretch those?? He thinks this has thrown my running form off and bunch of other big terms causing the injury. For the past week I have been learning how to really stretch that area and wow am I tight there. This will be a daily stretching routine as I get my miles back. I am not bothered too much since I do not have have a focus race until fall. I wanted to set some June 5k/10k PR's , but that will have to wait. I just want to run without discomfort and then really push myself to my limits. |

| Doc visit today. Had me all over the place stretching and working out. Put me on TM and I had my phone in my pocket. So I hit start and then stop, but hopped off it to empty my pockets. He said "you didn't just do that right in front of me??" He told me to stop doing things like that or I would aggravate my injury. So I ran on the TM for just under 10 mins... it was funny... he said "you make that look so easy". Here I am just trying to land on my forefoot and keep my knees up. Anyway, after a long visit, he will see me again a week from Friday but gave me the green light to move up to 5 mile runs and even add a little speed in later :) Happy news for me! He said if Friday goes well I can move up to 10 miles. I am hoping!! He also said don't be a knucklehead.. hummm... |

| Taylorsville trails and then some bike path. Very nice morning to run. There is mental aspect of increasing mileage that triggers in me. Hard to explain. When I cant run at all, and then can run even just a few miles it is frustrating yet nice to be able to just run- even if a little. Then getting to bump that up does something mentally that I like.... so I'm mental. |

| I was going to run early, but I ended up staying up way to late with our church have a set of revival meetings and getting ready for my Sunday lesson. I knew it was going to get warm later, but I figured it was only 5 miles so I will just run in the afternoon. Ran down to the local high school track (about a mile) and wanted to get a little track work in. The doc said I could do a little speed work and he stressed that, leaving me the famous works of 'don't be a knuckle head' (and Kelli and Preston reminded me of that very same thing). SO what is safe? I figured just 4x400 repeats with 200 jogs would be fair enough. I knew I didn't want to go all out, but maybe just below 5k pace since I am sure my fitness is not where it was or I want it. Ok it was hot- 88 degrees and humid. Blah, and on the track I could feel the heat on my feet through my shoes. Splits 1:28, 1:29, 1:30, 1:30 and I am sure I could have thrown a few more in, however, mission accomplished and I feel for the most part fine. I really want that feeling to stay the same. |

Missed my run yesterday due to work day so long it was silly...And included 2 flights from Dayton to Cincinnati and back.... 12 minutes on the company jet. Waste of money there, but I just do my job.... Today... Hot... 80s... I had my mini track workout this week so it was time for my mini tempo run. 7:45ap, 7:17, 6:54 tempo paces. the heat made it feel like more, but I'm on the 5 limit still. Doc in the am... Will see if I get cleared for more.

| Saw the doc today. Good visit, he figures I'm about 75% healed and has cleared more miles and a little more speed work after watching me on the treadmill. He said I was striking front to mid foot on the tm, but I had the pace up (6:43) so I am not sure about my regular runs. Good overall workout with the doc and cold laser treatment. Still has me on a basketball ban. |

| Taylorsville park, early, warm and humid 70/96% Half trails/half pike bath- it was baby animal day with a baby possum on the back of momma and later baby deer with a few bigger ones out and about. Overall run was fine, slowly increasing mileage at an easy pace per the doc. After the run by the car, it would have been nice to have a picture as steam/mist was rolling off my body and clothes. Its one of those things that if you saw it in a movie or a poster you would have thought it was Photoshopped. Why do I get the feeling it is going to be one hot, humid summer? As long as I can feel alright, I won't complain so call me out if I do! |

| Another Sunday where I did not get up early... sooner or later I will have to learn this lesson. Hot, 94 and steamy. Did the half trail and half bike path again. My oldest daughter graduated yesterday. I had trouble when the video of the old pictures went by. I am very proud of her and she is a GREAT kid. adult. Kid. Yes kid. We have a wonderful relationship and never suffered any of the 'teen' issues most people complain about. I believe this is because of the relationship with God she has and partly the home school development. There were 37 home school kids at the graduation ceremony, it was quite moving. These are the most outgoing kids you will see... so much for stereotypes. So yeah, I spent my run in the heat, sweating... yet just lost in thought... it was good. |

| Took advantage of the schools being closed and ran up to the high school track. Warm 73/73 & sticky. Still limited in what I am green lighted to do for speed work, so trying to make the most out of it. 1.25 WU followed by 6x400m intervals w/200m slow recoveries. 1:27, 1:31, 1:29, 1:28, 1:32, 1:29 I was distracted on the 5th interval by some kids hitting on the glass at the stadium. Slow run back home, had to peel the shirt off. |

| 75 degrees & 100% humidity oh you know I loved waking up to that... Half trail/Half bike path, sticky- slow run, kept focusing on form. It rained about 15 minutes after my run and cooled it off... figures, but hey heat training is support to pay off more. Spending part of the evening trying to help my daughter on an expensive DSLR purchase. It's her post graduation/pre-college desire. She has to help in taking wedding photos this fall so she is all in right now. |

| Another nice to run. Of course still under restrictions so the plan was a 'lite' tempo. I figured 2 sub 10k in between 2 mp miles. Didn't go exactly as planned as the first mile I felt totally out of sync, so I cut one of the miles slower to get going. 8 overall, 3 tempo 7:28, 6:38, 6:45, some low 8 for cool down. a few deer on the path for viewing pleasure. |

| Another nice day for a run. 66 and only 59% humidity. So after some of my newly famous Greek Yogurt pancakes I hit the local trails. Today I ran the very winding, hilly, wood&rock steeps and just overall difficult area to get a tough run in. Orange loop x3 and blue loop once. I did have to stop for a moment on lap 3 as there was a baby raccoon on the trail. They are not supposed to be out during the day!? I couldn't get it to move so I jumped over it. ap 8:34. |

| Down to the track again, a little warm at 76 with a swirling wind. About a 2m warm up and then did my repeats. I wanted to do 12, but the doc has me around 8 so we compromised at 10. I am not sure if it was just warm or the wind gusts or just the day, but I was not feeling it. Actually I was feeling it and it was sluggish. 10x400 with 200 active recoveries. 1:29, 1:29, 1:32, 1:29, 1:33, 1:29, 1:31, 1:33, 1:33, 1:33. |

| Legs starting to feel better. Odd thing is I don't seem to have a very good feel of what I'm running some days. I've been right on before, but to today I was running slow and felt like a super easy 9:30ish pace, yet when I looked down at the end it was 8:12ap. Now that's not blazing by any means but over a minute faster than feel with no effort. I would love to harness that. Maybe it was the fact that national running day falls on my birthday... Who knows. |

| Wrapped up one crazy week with record temps - 5 days over 100 and ran in a few of those - power outages - youth rally - work nonsense and well... a bit of running. I hope to avoid any more set backs as I am going to bring my mileage up slowly. It has been nearly a year since I first felt the pain in my quad. |

| Well I am back from the massive road trip! What a great time we had, seeing all kids of history and specifically Christian History. I am amazed at how our great country was founded and how much has been forgotten, ignored and frankly hidden. I have tons of pics, I may share a few, the ones involving the Great Awakening and Freedom Trail are awesome. Maybe after the running break, I can get motivated again. AM- 7 - cooler, humid, but cooler PM -3 not as cool |

| So... It has been a bit of a roller coaster for me. I have been a horrible blogger. It is true that I have been extremely busy with work and was in Mexico for a work retreat the last 4 days, but just got home, but I have not been blogging or running like I should have been. The reason is partly being down and not motivated. This is odd for me since I am an optimist by nature and I am used to lifting others up. I cannot seem to get this quad area 100% healthy and it messes with my body and mind. I look at the past year and the 3 doctors, physical therapists that I have seen. Sure they have helped some, but bottom line it still bugs me (the injury). It has derailed many goals and races. I get sick at the amount of money I have spent on this treatment and yet still here it is. I have decided to push through it for now. I want to get the joy of running back. I figure if I just run and not focus on 'the next race' maybe that will help to just soak in runs and enjoy the trails. Then maybe I can get a running base back despite the pain that does re-occur. Don't get me wrong, it is no where as bad as a year ago or even 6 months ago, but still it hurts. I figure I will just have to deal with it or not run. I do not like the second option. So there you have the basics of it, I fully plan on getting back on here and catching up. First let me get back and see my family when I get in :) |
