Good News!!
I went to the Orthopaedic doctor on Tuesday and he greeted me with some good news! Yes, the toe is broken, but the damage is done. No need for a boot, just a little tape. That being said, he released me to run as soon as I felt like it! I was totally amazed as I felt like running after leaving his office.
I chose not to run that day, but I am anxious to run again soon. After speaking with my lovely wife, I think I will wait a few weeks before actually running. I am excited about riding my bike this Saturday, seeing that the doctor gave me permission to do that as well!
My plan is to probably wait for about 3 weeks before running again and in the mean time, just ride my bike as much as possible. Although I feel certain that I can run now, just to be cautious, I will wait. A little REST never hurt anyone and besides, I figure all of the rest can only help my groin injury that I have been dealing with for almost 3 years now.
All that being said, I can't wait to run here in a few weeks and I am so grateful for the good news from the Orthopaedic doctor!

Broken Toe
A couple of weeks ago on a Sunday evening, I ran into my little girls swing set. I did not think much of it till the next morning I got up for a run and could barely walk. I actually tried to run anyway, to no avail.
After two weeks of hobbling around, I finally went to the doctor. Sure enough, I got an X-ray and the toe had a huge crack in it. That being said, I go to the orthopedic doctor on Tuesday to have a boot placed on it. Ugh!!
Looks like it will be at least 6 weeks before another run.

Saturday/June 5
4.2 mi/36:35/Nice little 4 mile run with lots of heat and humidity. Whew! I had planned to run further, but thought better of it when I saw the conditions. Great morning run! (no maps, GPS is broken:(

Wednesday/March 31
4.2 mi(run)/35:48/Great run on a beautiful evening after school! The temperatures were just lovely, I ran in a T-Shirt it was so warm. It was my first run since visiting the Chiropractor and the adductor felt great!
Saturday, March 27, 2010
Saturday/March 27
4.2 mi(run)/????/My GPS did something really weird, so no results posted for this run. It was my first run in like 2 weeks. Whew! Man, very little sleep has made me too tired to run. I am hopeful that I will start getting more sleep and in return getting in more miles. I am going to see a Chiropractor on Monday to see if they can help me with my injury. Wish me luck!

Sunday/March 14
4.2 mi(run)/35:48/Nice Sunday afternoon run on a cool day. Man, where are those Spring temperatures! Definitely enjoyed the run and if I had time, I would have run much further. Maybe next time!
Sunday, March 7, 2010
Sunday/March 7
4.2 mi(run)/34:59/Nice run after a few days of REST! I felt really good and did a few fartleks to get some speed work in. GREAT run!
Sunday, February 28, 2010
Sunday/February 28
4.2 mi(run)/36:07/Another nice run on a cool, windy afternoon. Ran with some speed coming in, but did not over-do it.
Saturday, February 27, 2010
Saturday/February 27
4.2 mi(run)/36:47/Nice run on a beautiful afternoon! Took my time and just enjoyed running again. I missed several days due to being very tired.
Wednesday, February 24, 2010
Wednesday/February 24
4.2 mi(run)/37:15/Nice run after a long break. Breaks are always a good thing if you ask me. My lovely wife and I have a new addition to our family, thus the long break. We are the proud foster parents of a beautiful little girl born, 2/11/10. She is just so awesome and has brought both of us tons of joy!

Thursday/February 11
4.2 mi(run)/37:38/Whew! Not a good run. Man, I am sooo frustrated. I just do not understand what is going on. What a miserable run today and this is after 3 great runs and a 3 day break. I was so excited to run today just to run the whole way in total pain! I guess it is safe to say popping an Aleve before my run makes a big difference, as I did not pop one today. Oh well!!
Sunday, February 7, 2010
Sunday/February 7
6.3 mi(run)/55:21/My longest run yet since returning from my break. Also, 2 runs in two days, yeah! I felt pretty darn good and had a nice run with no pain once again. I took an Aleve before my run, so not sure if that helped or if my adductor is just feeling much better. I will probably attempt a longer run next weekend. This has been a GREAT week of running! I am pretty excited about my progress.

Saturday/February 6
4.6 mi(run)/45:42/Nice, easy run in Buckhead with my buddy Allen. I was not supposed to be running any hills, but as you can see, we ran a few. It is very hard to run in Buckhead and not run any hills. The hills were small and short, so I did have yet another pain-free run. It was good catching up with Allen as it had been awhile since our last run!
Thursday, February 4, 2010
Thursday/February 4
4.2 mi(run)/35:28/Another pain-free, nice run. I was able to run with a bit of speed, although that was not my goal and finished feeling pretty good. I did some groin stretches after the run. Progress!
Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Tuesday/February 2
2 mi(run)/18:15/It was raining this morning, so I chose to run on the treadmill at the gym, ugh! I am not a big treadmill fan, for sure. That being said, I had a really nice 2 mile speed run on the mill. I increased my speed every 1/2 mile. Probably not a good idea, but I did it mostly cause I hate the treadmill and I wanted to run to be over. It was another pain-free run!
Monday, February 1, 2010
Monday/February 1
4.2 mi(run)/36:18/Wow, another good run with no pain. That would be 2 in a row. Of course, I ran too fast with none of my miles being over 9 minutes. Oh well, better luck tomorrow! Once again, I did some adductor stretches after the run.
Saturday, January 30, 2010
Saturday/January 30
4 mi(run)/36:32/Very nice run. Probably my best run yet. I felt pretty good and decided to do my usual stretching and then do some adductor stretches after the run. I ran faster than previous runs and probably should have slowed down. I also did some adductor stretches last night. I really wanted to run further and I could have easily, but chose not to overdo it. I walked up the very first hill as it was pretty steep, but then ran several smaller hills. Great run!
Thursday, January 28, 2010
Thursday/January 28
3.2 mi(run)/30:51/Nice, easy, slow run this morning. Whew! It was pretty cold. The adductor was not nearly as sore as previous runs and felt pretty good throughout the run. I did some lunges before and after the run.
Monday, January 25, 2010
Monday/January 25
3.1 mi(run)/29:59/Nice slow morning run with NO hills. I felt pretty good and the adductor felt much better than my previous two runs. I am trying not to stretch the adductor muscles as I feel like I may have strained it with all the stretching. I did have a good workout with weights this morning and did some leg extensions as well.
Saturday, January 23, 2010
Saturday/January 23
2.9 mi(run)/27:33/Another run where I took my time and ran very easy and slow. I walked the bigger hills and ran the smaller ones. The adductor felt OK, but still a little sore. I also got some good stretching in after the run.
Thursday, January 21, 2010
Thursday/January 21
2.2 mi(run)/21:15/Oh, to be running again! It wasn't my fastest run, but at least I am running again. My adductor was pretty sore afterwards and actually it was sore during the run. I really ran a slow pace and did some stretching after the run. Also, I did a couple of leg machines with weights to strengthen my quads and hamstrings.
Saturday, January 9, 2010
Saturday/January 9, 2010
Today was my 12th day of REST with absolutely NO RUNNING! I am feeling pretty good and the adductor is definitely getting the much deserved REST!. I am so looking forward to January 20, my first day of running.

Resting...
Well, it has been 1 whole week since my last run. Wow, I am so ready to hit the pavement again. I will continue to rest and workout for another 2 weeks and then re-evaluate my situation. So far, so good though and I do think the rest is making a difference!
