Warmed up on elliptical 18 minutes then 6 miles slow running up/down the hills out Eagleview way. The running felt about the same as Monday.

Now I know with all the complaining I do about how running feels unpleasant and elliptical feels good to legs, there may be some who wonder WHY AM I STILL DOING ANY RUNNING IF IT HURTS! This is certainly a very good question and I actually would have preferred the elliptical today, HOWEVER I was actually following doctors orders to run slow today and do just enough to keep my ache/pain areas all riled up and festered. I guess maybe it will make the MRI a bit more interesting to look at if I've got lots of good inflammation going on.

Ave pace 9:27. Ave/Max HR: 140/165

Sounds like Dr. House's version of "Do no harm"...

Seriously, hope this leads you down the healing path. Sounds like soft-tissue stuff, which can be a hassle, but also sounds like you're in good hands. Always good to have a Dr excited about helping you get well :)

I hope you find out some good news when you go to the doctor Tom, and I hope he can get you on the road to recovery.
