Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras. Short-Term Running Goals: Consistent aerobic and strength training. Long-Term Running Goals: Participate in 5k and 10k races. Personal: I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties. Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation. It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again. Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness. |

Noon outside 11 mi. Legs were a bit dull and had no pop because of rope jumping yesterday. Could feel the injury through the first 4 miles. Quite certain it's an adductor tendonitis. Hardly felt it during the race, but could tell my right leg was weaker. Probably feel it more during training as I'm in a stance phase longer when running slower. Anyway, continue to work on building strength in right leg.

11:30a outside 6 mi. Injury felt a bit better at first, but then started to ache again until mile 4 or so. I think it's getting better though. Was it the Hip Hikes? Massage?

11:30a outside 7 mi. Again, right adductor injury felt better during first mile than in past, but then got sore again until mile 4 where as usual it goes completely away. There is progress being made here though. Did have a bit of a breakthrough in that things feel tons better when I focus on being a bit more upright, pelvis level and forward, and engaging the glutes. When tired I might be tilting my pelvis more, sticking out my rear end, and using the adductor to bring the leg forward, instead of more important hip flexor muscles. I betcha why this happens is out of habit after years of lower ab weakness and pain. We'll see what happens tomorrow. | | Add Comment |

| 6:00am outside. Disappointed in this run. Completed one big loop starting from health club and incorporating bike trails along the way. This way I didn't run out of water. Started out at 9:00+ min paces because right leg was more botheresome than usual. After first 4 miles, pace was a bit faster, but ran most miles around 8:30-9:00. Ran out of gas at the end and was hot and dehydrated. Averaged 9:03 for entire run. Really lacked energy today. | | Comments(1) |
