Welcome

Yesterday, I was given clearance to do 15-20 minute runs. I need to make sure my hips are aligned and keep them in line. I also need to avoid hills and trails for the time being.

I warmed up 10 minutes on the stationary bike and then quickly drove down the hill from my office to the first place I could park and did 15 minutes that included only 43ft of total climb. I was going faster than I expected at 6:50 pace for the run but it felt very good. The usual sit bone pain was there but the front hip impingement was not and the SI joint felt ok as well. I am also pretty sure I stayed in alignment. Then I hurried back to the office for 10 minutes on the stationary bike to cool down.

I like being outside infinitely better than on that bike but glad to get in 35 minutes of cardio. 20 minutes of running tomorrow.

20 minute run again round near Sunnyside. A little faster pace to get in 3 miles. Didn't feel as good as yesterday but I didn't warm up.

Also, my SI joint woke up and joined the party. I think that means I may have fell out of alignment but its hard for me to self assess. Still felt stronger.

Another 20 minute Sunnyside run. Best run of the week. No rear pain until 2.6 and no front pain, which is what matters most. I intentionally slowed down but still somehow managed a 7:02 pace. Feeling strong. Did a 10 minute warm and cool on the stationary bike, which helps the run fo sho.

4 pm run on the same Sunnyside round route. High 50s is ridiculous.  Quite lovely. I did just over 20 minutes for a round 3 miles at 6:46 pace. I apologize in advance to Jake.

Feeling strong is something very specific for me and to feel this way is extremely encouraging. My body feels like its firing correctly with a nice rhythym.

From home to West High around 4 times and back. 22:06 total so slower pace. The pot roast au jus with jalapeño jelly from Even Stevens was not sitting well. Good otherwise.
