Went to the doc on Thursday as planned. It was Sundaram from the ER. He thinks it's radicular, as do I. Put me on a Medrol Dosepak to see if that calmed it down. He would have given me something stronger if I'd asked (maybe should have asked for tizanidine, now that I think about it), but I think the Medrol will get it calmed down. They scheduled me an appointment with an orthopod on Tuesday morning. I'll finish the Medrol by then. Maybe I'll ask for the tizanidine then.
So I took the Medrol for three days, and the leg was feeling better. Not pain-free, but I could stand longer without discomfort. So I tried a run this morning. Went well. Not 100% pain-free, but just a twinge in the calf, and nothing in the glute. Shut it down after 3.4 to avoid overdoing it. So far, I'm very pleased. Still very questionable for the half next Sunday, even as a training run, but we'll see how the week goes.
Went to Fayetteville yesterday and signed the divorce agreement. Within 10 days, I'll be single. At least there's an endpoint in the near future now, after months of uncertainty, and I can move on into singlehood. I'm still not happy about the situation, but it is what it is, not gonna change, and I have to deal with it and get on with my life. |

| Running after work tonight, once the Garmin resumed working and got recharged. Ran a new course, around the mall, up Rogers to Albert Pike, to Waldron, out Park to 66th to Free Ferry and back home. Worked out at just over 6 miles. Temps was around 30 which was perfect; barely sweated. Pushed the pace a bit on the last K or so, just to do something different. Calf was fine. Achilles was slightly tender but not bad. I'll still go to the doc tomorrow and see if he puts me on PT or something. But a good run for the first day of Week 2 of the Boston cycle. |

| Went to doctor yesterday. Also thinking radicular stuff. Plus the AT is acting up again. Put me on Mobic, told me to stretch, warm up, and avoid hills. Ha!!! Anyway, AT better today. Leg bothered me this morning, eased off as day went on. Decided to run when I got home to burn off a huge lunch. Ended up with 9 very hilly miles. Suspect I burned off lunch and then some. Then ice bath, which really felt pretty good. May pay for this tomorrow, though. |

| Easy run tonight, but the Achilles wasn't happy about it. Very tender, swollen, etc. |
