I took the weekend off and just tried to stretch my left calf and tailbone a lot.  Today I squeezed in a run on my way to the chiropractor.  Serious issues with the tailbone-even Dr. Clifford noticed it.  He said basically that all my flexers were completely out and my symmetry is non-existent right now.  Sooooo, I'm supposed to spend extra time stretching morning and night and go back on Friday to finish the adjustment.  Man, what a difference it's already made though!

 Anyways, I've decided that I'm pushing a little too much in the speed department and that might be at least partially causing some of my recent issues, so I slowed back down a little bit and it felt better.  I ran 3.25 in 30:34 then did a .5 mile cool down.  I did pause a couple of time to stretch.  Hopefully this all goes away soon!

I slowed down to 6.5 for my speed and I think it's helping.  My legs still feel tight, but the extra stretching is helping with that as well.  I ran 3.25 miles in 30:35, then did a longer walk for a cool down.  My tailbone is beyond tight still.  The running is helping it relax enough so I CAN stretch though.

Ok, either I've inhaled WAY too much sawdust this past week or I have a serious chest something or other.  I am having issues breathing last night and today.  As a result, my legs pooped out on me, so I decided to go with the flow.  I ran 1.3 miles, then walked a while, then ran a little more, then walked the rest of the way.  I paused twice to get some extra stretching in as well.  I think my time was 34ish minutes.

After eating way too much candy filling easter eggs last night, I felt that I needed to at least try for some miles today.  It was better than yesterday, but that's about all I can say.  I think all the extra stretching is finally loosening up my tailbone, which is great.  I ran 1.5 miles, then interchanged walking and running for the rest of the way.  My entire abdomen hurts from coughing yesterday and my voice is almost completely gone, but I think I'm getting over the hump of whatever this is.  I did 3.5 miles in 34:30, and my total time was 43ish.

No running today.  Just pure bliss after visiting the chiropractor-all the pain in my tailbone is finally gone!  So nice.

Yeah, so not so much pure bliss today.  Throat issues, chest issues, back issues, and just not feeling well.  So long for now running!  Hopefully we meet again next week.
