Distance: ~100 miles (yes, that's for the whole month)
Well keeping a log of running through pain 4-5 days per week was depressing. So I quit again for most of May. After this weekend, when I got in two 50+ minute runs with less hip flexor and hamstring pain than I have had since the marathon back in February, I have decided to keep myself more honest and get back to keeping myself honest.
Time: 30:00
Easy morning run with Ozzie and Tushar from Tush's place in Bryn Mawr. A bit tired and dehydrated, but excited to head to Heps at Penn. Moderately tight, but nothing out of the ordinary these days.
Stretching: Umm...
Time: 31:13
Easy loop through RCP. Hamstring was tight the whole run. Hip flexor okay.
I haven't been stretching enough this week.
Time: 34:51
Easy afternoon run through Adams Morgan and the Zoo with Peaches, who just moved back to DC over the weekend.
Stretching: Hamstring
Time: 138:41
Distance: ~20 mi.
Another 5 day running week. I am feeling some slight improvements in my hamstring and hip flexor.
Time: 30:43
Easy loop dipping into RCP and around Mt. Pleasant. Felt okay, considering I was running early to miss the harder rain that hit the District later in the day.
Stretching: Hamstring stretches with the rope.
Time: 26:00
Morning run down to Midas near Mt. Vernon Square, where I had some break work done on the car yesterday. I felt much better than the morning run earlier this week, though I was still a bit tight.
No stretching, headed right to work.
