I felt really good on my run today of 6 miles.  I went out along the parkway and then came back home.  My adductor felt good and didn't bother me.  It is a touch tight still but I will continue to stretch and ice it.  Hopefully things are turning around for the better.  Stretching and core exercises afterwards.

I then did yard work for the rest of the day.  Digging up old sprinkler systems and trying to put new ones in are not that fun.  Yikes.

6 miles around Webb Hill on the DC trail and then back to the school with some of the track kids.  Small surges thrown in.  Nothing to exciting.  Leg felt better.  It seems to slowly but surely feel a little better each day.

Stretching and core exercises later in the evening.

8 miles around the high school today.  I ran a couple miles with some kids from track and then went exploring out along the Arizona Strip.  Legs felt good today.  Adductor was better as well. 

I stretched, biked a mile, lifted some weights, and then did some core exercises afterwards.  Perfect running weather today.  I am happy to just be getting outside and running easy with not as much pain.  Fingers and toes are crossed for good luck and continued improvement!

8 miles on the club run this evening.  It felt good to get out with the guys again.  We went up into Middleton on the trails and then back around to the store.  Light drizzle and perfect temperatures made it a nice day for a run.  Adductor felt good but the hamstring was a little tight.  Need to continue with the stretching.

Ran from the high school out towards Washington Fields.  Light drizzle made the run enjoyable.  Lots of stretching afterwards.

Woke up a touch late so I wasn't able to start with the guys.  I ran into them on the trail though and finished the last couple miles with them.  Legs felt fairly sore afterwards which is normal since I am slowly revampling the running.

Happy with the week.  The adductor is finally loosening up the hamstring isn't as bad.  I will have another easy week for next week and then get going.
