My return to physical therapy after the MRI results was better than I expected. 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 do, however, need to add a couple of my stretching routines back in.
I also woke up early this morning to do 3.0 miles in 29:30 (9’50″ pace). Day 30 of the running streak, day 7 of the physical therapy exercise streak.

- Happy National Running Day #twit2fit Storms were rolling in this morning when I'd normally venture outside, so I hit the treadmill in the basement for 6 miles in 58:30 (9'45"/mile). After the double runs yesterday (4.6 in the morning and 5.6 in 87 degree weather at lunch), this was a pretty rough run. I can......
- 25 weeks to go #twit2fit The OBX marathon is on November 8, 2009. That's 25 weeks away. That's also a long way to go for someone who has not put 25 weeks of running together in over a year. I just completed my first 40 mile week in over three months, finishing with a 6.9......
