'Morning. I swam this morning and now my arms and shoulders are shaky tired, thanks to the workout. I really wanted to sleep in but didn't want to fall behind on my workouts this week. Run later.

I did some leg strength and upper body stuff at home then went to second PT appointment at 7am. Therapist thinks I'm out of balance; left leg doesn't extend back when I walk/run and I tend to "fall" on the right leg. She did some left leg IT band massage with her forearm, which hurt like hell, and some foam rolling which hurt only slightly less. Also said the inner groin muscles on my right leg (adductors per my google search) are very tight so did some foam rolling of them. That didn't hurt as much but was still uncomfortable. Interestingly, that area, along with the right hammy, had begun to bother me this week. I scheduled a another session for this Saturday and will try the foam rolling at home during the week.
I don't think anything she said was "new" but hopefully paying more attention to this will help prevent my all too frequent issues. At this point, I'm writing off the next month or two, and will work on getting "balanced" and injury-free so I can get to Boston next spring and fulfill that dream...
Go figure
Good morning runners...had an awesome and super tiring weekend working Akron Marathon. It's amazing the amount of hours and effort needed to pull something like that off.
I wasn't able to run with Des in the morning on Friday. She was our first honoree that declined a run with the race director and a few others. Still, she was very nice at the VIP party on Thursday, and then throughout the weekend. She ended up running in our half marathon and finishing 3rd, cruising in at just over 1:22 as part of the 20 miles she was running that day. A pic of my g/f and me with her from Thursday night is in the link. (if anyone knows how to make this just a pic on here feel free to repost)

After getting 12+ hours of sleep saturday night and into sunday, I ran 15 trail miles with a buddy of mine who was out doing 36 to celebrate his birthday.
Hope you all had good weekends!

Morning! First day at the office. I still don't have access to much of the stuff but at least they resolved one thing.
I have 6 miles unless I can get access to the gym here in which case I'll do the 16 I missed yesterday. On the TM because today is a Summer day. Fall arrives on Thursday.
