Went to the chiropractor last night and he said my right knee, hip, ankle and back were all out of line from my injuries and such.  I will go back again Thursday for another alignment.

Ran 5 miles this morning in the sprinkles.  Felt nice and cool - but not cold.  I kept by HR in the 70-80% range.  Interesting that after running a little faster yesterday, my heart rate seemed to stay in lower ranges today and what felt like faster speed than normal - but I only had my heart rate monitor on - so maybe I was imagining things.  Ran out of energy the last couple of miles - could be from trying to lose weight.

Last ankle injection tonight at the podiatrist.  Ankle is doing a lot better this last week.

No fair! I still have to motivate myself to go out running, and you're already finished!

Hope the chiro brings some relief for you; I've been thinking about visiting one lately, too.

CL - trying to start getting up early to get runs in before it gets too hot. I found last year that running in the afternoon was just too draining. Plus - I have to be at work at 7 most days. (And I already want a nap).

You're so in tune with your body. I guess you're right on with the boot making the right side of your body go out of alignment?

Your running is coming along so nicely. Keep it up! You're so disciplined to get up early.
