Well I made it a whole week - bad new is while I felt better, it was not a significant improvement.  Very frustrating.  I am going to try to run this week with just easy miles and see how it goes.

Met the BBK's for some easy mileage.  Nancy and I were the only ones that showed up at 5:15 so we warmed up together and then met the rest of the group at 5:45.  I felt better than yesterday but still nowhere near 100%.  I am hoping that improvement is near.  It was great to catch up with everyone and hear their Ogden stories.  More massage tonight.

I went and got worked on again last night.  He spent a lot of time on my psoas muscle as well as my inner thigh and quad.   The good news is I felt much improved today but there are still some lingering issues.

Met the BBK's for our Thursday workout.  I felt better then yesterday and made it over 1.5 miles completely pain free - that is .5 farther than yesterday.  The rest of the time there was some pain but not to the point that I could not run - This is a good sign and I hope it continues.  All my miles were easy, I did pick up the pace as the run progressed but still easy miles.  Overall I am pleased.  Two things that I have changes this week, along with my weekly massage sessions, are:

1.  Foam Roller - $18.99 from Target is a bargin.  Using it nightly - nice and slow over my areas of issues but it is helping keep things loose.  

2.  I have been more consitent and better about getting some protien in me after my runs.  I had developed a bad habit of not eating until 1 - 1.5 hrs after I was done and running out the door to work.

Met Paula and ran the big block.  No pain for 2 miles but sharp after that.  My leg did not like the hill.
