Turn your rut into a groove.

am--8.5 Parkway Loop w/ Costco extension. My SI is improving. It only took me a minute or 2 to get into a semi-normal running gait. The run was beautiful to match the temperature, and we had a nice group for the entire run. It's fun to see kids catch the spirit. RHR--52. 

pm--2 Half Road/Half Grass. We had some fun w/ puddles and a tennis ball. After, I had some work done on the SI. Mostly, I'm excited about the knowledge I gained about managing the issue. 

am--3.5 DI/Harts w/out weights. Cool morning temperatures this morning. RHR--47.

pm--6.5 Target w/ 8x barefoot striders. Felt like crud at first but fairly stellar by the end. Other than that, the day was kind of long and rough.  15 minutes of light rowing later to strengthen the transversus abdominis. 

am--5 DI/Neighborhood Bushes/Costco Loop. Nice morning of running. Every morning, I feel a little better. No run this afternoon with the SC meet. RHR--49.

am--4.25 DI w/ Lutheran extension/Harts. Feeling better day by day. It would be nice to be lifting again, but maybe rowing is my panacea. RHR--47. 

pm--5 Green Springs to the mismatched churches. Decent run w/ a few girls losing what are the odds? and jumping in the green pond.  15 minutes of light rowing later. 

am--6.5 DI + Lutheran LED/Neighborhood Bushes/Running Center Loop. Nice run this morning. I'm feeling stronger and hoping that this SI issue will help me be more vigilant about core strength. Focusing on engaging the core while running really gives a feeling of efficiency. RHR--49.

pm--2.5 Cone set-up and some running to call out times. The kids looked good.

am--6 Barrel Roll figure 8. Just me and my lonesome out on the local stomping grounds. It's been too long. I thoroughly enjoyed the undulations and views. RHR--50. 

15 minutes of light erging to fortify the transversus abdominis.
