| Location: Salt Lake City,UT,USA Member Since: May 06, 2006 Gender: Male Goal Type: Local Elite Running Accomplishments: Won Park City Marathon (tiny field, slow course, no purse) and Utah Grand Slam in 2006
Marathon: 2:37:04 (St. George 2009) Short-Term Running Goals: Train for as solid a race in Boston 2011 as my schedule will allow. Accept the fact that there isn't room in my life to train for a breakthrough performance and do the best I can under the circumstances.
Long-Term Running Goals: Lose the all-or-nothing mentality and
start using running as an outlet instead of an additional source of
stress. Personal: I'm married with 4 kids (2 boys, 2 girls) and live in Salt Lake City, where I work as a real estate attorney.
Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

| I was planning to go out for a short, easy jog this morning, just to start working through the residual soreness from Saturday, but it was raining pretty hard and I didn't feel like getting soaked. Instead, I set up my trainer and rode the bike for 30 minutes, then did my hip exercises and stretches. The back pain seems to have returned in full force, so I need to get back to the core training I started doing before the marathon. | |

| My left hip and lower back felt completely out of whack for the first mile or so, to the point that I almost turned around and walked home. Fortunately, the pain started to lessen as my body warmed up, and I felt considerably better by the time I finished my little jaunt. I stretched for 10 minutes afterward. I may have to spend more quality time with the chiro to get this issue resolved. In the meantime, I'll keep doing the exercises and stretches my PT prescribed. |

| I went to a new chiro today to see if he could help with my back issues. The adjustment took him about 5 minutes and when he yanked my left leg, there was an audible crack in my SI joint. It was tremendously satisfying. The SI joint was kind of sore most of the day, but sore in a healing kind of way, not an aching kind of chronic way.
Anxious to try out the new back, I brought my gear with me when I drove my son's soccer carpool to Orem and went for short jog while they warmed up. SI joint was still somewhat sore from the adjustment, but there was none of the usual pain. However, about 3.5 miles in, my left quad kind of seized up, so I ended up walking the rest of the way. I'm not concerned about it, as it felt like one of the predictable post-marathon pains that goes away after a day or two.
