Easy Run
Had treatment yesterday which involved many adjustments for SI joint as it was way out of joint. Dr stated that given any adjustment, it may takes several days to recover -- and after looking at prior runs after treatment his feedback was spot on. I had that same feeling today of "deep soreness" in my lower back & hamstring/glutes, & those muscles felt "overstretched" (felt weak, not strong). When I started I could immediately feel no spring in my step, that I had to apply an "extra" effort on each step, as if I was not operating at 100% (yet my form felt intact). The splits are pathetic & glad I did not look at my watch because I would have stopped in frustration (running consistently 25-30 sec slower p mi). Ran the first 3 miles in/around Phillips Pl (I did feel "looser" as I went along here), then around & out & up Fairview left on Ashley right on Sharon left on Fairview past McDonalds (mi 4), up Fairview left on Sharon past mall across Morrison & two laps around Walgreens (mi 4 - 4.8: felt stronger but still running 25-30 sec slower p mi vs how this felt). Went into Walgreens, then resumed up Sharon down Fairview left into Philips Pl right & around PF Changs to The Palm (mi 4.8 - 5.6mi - ran this w/same effort I would run an 8:30 mi & felt no strength!).
