I went out on a run that felt like the longest 4 miles of my life!  The weather was great and I haven't went on a run in a week and a half.  I have been sick since Monday and today was the first day I felt decent enough to go out.  4 miles up passed the Temple and back in 30:30 after work.

I went out for a run this morning after a close win in my basketball game.  I am pretty out of shape but, more in pain than anything.  I must have a hip issue because my whole right side is messed up, groin, adductor, abductor, lower abdominal area, etc.  It even hurts when I haven't run.  I went North for two miles today and turned around and ran back the same way.  The weather was great, maybe mid 40s.  I had music again and wore my heart rate monitor, which really made me feel slow and out of shape.  I think I could get back into shape quickly if I didn't have these nagging injuries. 29:55

I was thinking  that Sasha should make this blog kind of like facebook.  I used to love it because it was smaller, and most people I knew or would get to know, but now it is so big that it is overwhelming, and I can't even find my friends race reports without sifting through 50 others.  If we could make our blogs so those we wanted to see it could see it, invite our friends to join our blog, still be able to send messages to others, etc, I think it might work better.  I just have a hard time keeping track of the people I want to now, and can't keep track of everyone else.  What do you runners think???

I was supposed to get an adjustment and one massage this morning but the massage therapist called in sick so I rescheduled for the end of the week.  I did go out for a run in the nice President's day weather.  I wasn't in as much pain today, but my adductor and groin were sore after.  I ran up to the Developmental Center and back.  I haven't been out of shape for 2 years but am definitely there now.  29:55 for the run 163 ave heart rate.

I had to take advantage of a nice day even though the sun was going down.  I ran up 200 East into Highland and back.  Kind of rough going for me.  I am totally out of shape and that run seemed like 10 miles for me even though it took me 30:00.  Not as much pain as in recent runs, good sign!

Ran tonight after work up to the Highland City buildings and back.  I

had no watch and took it easy since this is my longest run in a long

time, but felt better than past runs this month.

I have the day off of school because of parent teacher conference this week, so I went out for a morning run.  Of course the day I have off it has to get cold again!  It was around 30 degrees for most of my run.  I ran up by the Temple today and did a loop east of there on some roads I had never been on before.  On the way home I took a lap around the park on 700 N and 600 E to get some softer, uneven terrain in my run.  The ground was frozen on top and soft underneath, very unstable, and just what I wanted.   I felt my issues today more than yesterday but I have simply got to run once in a while, I can't afford to lose everything I worked for for two years.  I am going to try to schedule a massage for tomorrow.  I have ran as much in the last couple of days as I have the whole month February   46:49 for the 6 miles

Lifted upper body this afternoon
