Personal:

Started running in November 2007 to get fit. Now I'm back almost to square one after back surgery. I did it once and I'll do it again.

"In truth, runners don't race other runners. They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares. And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better."  Running for His Life by Michael Hall.

Visited my primary doc last week. No stress fractures but likely piriformis.  I have been doing some stretching, icing and resting it.  Went to the gym and did 40 easy mins on the TM + some strength training.  Started out tight but got better, not worse.  Very encouraged.

Easy TM run.  Extended the run to 45 mins.  Felt OK but my VO2 has suffered greatly due to my relatively short (3-4 wk) layoff- that and the extra 15 lbs I've put on since October.

5 easy miles on a hotel TM.  Still taking it easy. Had a much harder time keeping even a slow pace, either that or the TM was not calibrated correctly, very likely.

Strength training + easy run on TM. Taking it slow and trying to build up strength in the whole chain from the ankle to the glute.
