Stoney Creek

I ran 6 miles at the park,temp 28 and cloudy. I stopped to check my shoe and pinched a spot in my right shoulder. By evening I had a muscle spasm running down the right side of my back. Monday I saw my chiropracter and he beat me up real good. I'm calming down Monday afternoon. Hip is better. Left foot numb the last mile.

Stoney Creek

Ran 6 miles at the park with Marv. Didn't have to walk. Hip stiff but not in pain. 23 plus with sun, path salted and slushy. Glad to get a run in, weight is going up.

Hip

I looked in the Lore of Running by Nokes but found very little on hip injuries.
I googled running hip injuries and got more info. Standard treatment fot bursitis in hip is removal of fluid with a needle and cortisone shot. I'm not for that. Someone said massage heals it, so I've been doing self massage and it is better. Hope to run Wed.

Doctor

I saw the doctor for a checkup Tuesday and complained of a sore left hip. he wanted to send me for xrays but I said a running injury gets better with rest, so I have 15 days off. I have time to get work around the house done.

Paint Creek Trail

I joined Disco at the Duck Pond to run 6 miles but my hip was sore so I cut it to 4 miles. I'm mystified - I was fine after the marathon and the hip started Thursday to hurt and now it hurts to walk. I'll take a week off so it can heal.

Paint Creek Trail

I met Disco at the duck pond for a 5 mile run on the trail. 37 and cloudy, we met several people we knew and caught up on latest news. It's definately more pleasant to run with a partner.

Stoney Creek

Ran 6 miles at the park. Talked to Shirley. Legs tired from yesterday. Lost 4 lbs. this week. Time to rake leaves.
