Well,
I am finally back to running. Even if it is every other day, it feels good to just be able to go for a run. I am still feeling some discomfort at the end of my runs, but the physical therapist says that is to be expected and that that is pretty normal. I have been instructed to still run every other day and to get a good bit of cross training in. That being said, I am shopping for a bike and taking spin classes for now. This makes perfect sense as I continue to get rid of the tendinitis in my lower adductor. The PT also said that I should not have any problems running the Atlanta Half-Marathon in November. I am a bit excited about my chances and yet a little nervous at the same time as I haven't ran any further than a 5 miler and still continue to have discomfort in my lower adductor after a few miles.
Here are this week's results:
Monday: 4 mi/37:10
Tuesday: REST
Wednesday: 4 mi/35:48
Thursday: REST
Friday: REST
Saturday: 5.4 mi/51:01
Sunday: REST
Mileage=13.4

As you can see from my runs this week, I progressively got faster and faster. I expect the same this week as I run every other day and run the same distance. I am not planning to run too much faster as I am sure this will only cause more discomfort. I am sure to get in a couple of spin classes this week as I start to cross-train.
Hope everyone had a GREAT week and I wish everyone a GREAT week this week as well!

Nothing beats a good run! I’ve been running for over 30 years, and somehow I enjoy it more with every mile. Marathon days are behind me now, but I’m incredibly proud to have completed 14 marathons over the years. These days, my goals have shifted, and I’ve really enjoyed running one half marathon each month — woot! Running 3–4 times a week feels just right. Most importantly, spending time with my wife and my girls, Juliana (16) and Jessa (14), is my greatest priority these days. GR8FL!
