I have not done a very good job of sticking with one of my implicit goals: stay injury-free.
In fact, I haven’t been able to even log mileage at this point. After a few weeks in physical therapy, I’ve actually uncovered a second issue–looks like piriformis bursitis. I guess that means that means that between that and the sacroiliitis, I’m doubling down on the sciatic nerve. I went to the doctor today, just to confirm via multiple X-rays (I’m glowing now) that I don’t have any stress fractures. The doctor’s preliminary thought is no, but he’s sending to the radiologist to double-check. If symptoms don’t improve with physical therapy, I’ll have a bone scan to have a closer look.
In the meantime, I have several strengthening and stretching exercises to do, plus I can continue the pushups routine.

I've run two strong races (including a personal record in a 5k) in the last two months, so I'm pretty sure that snowice shoveling was a major factor in my sacroiliac......
- Don't walk #twit2fit I walked 1.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday and 2.1 miles this morning outside. That was enough to fire up some part of my leg on my left side. So, for the next week, I'm not supposed to walk. Or run, of course. Nothing from a standing position. Bike might......

- A journey of 5,000 miles begins with one mile. 1,189 days ago, on April 24,2006, I began a quest that was doomed to fail like so many times before. I weighed over 220 lbs.

- Exit the monkey It's been a roller coaster year for my running. 8 PRs this year, including back-to-back 10 miler PRs (-10 minutes each time) and a PR by 55 minutes (3:39) at Flying Pig. Then came a rough showing (4:42) at the Hatfield-McCoy Marathon, followed by tendonitis and an SI joint injury.......

I've run 18 miles in the last four days and I'm more "motivated" to keep up with my physical therapy exercises. We're reducing the schedule down to 1 time per week, just to monitor progress. I......
