Went back to week 13 since I really didn't accomplish much last week. Thought I would struggle through this work-out, but all in all not too bad! A few let downs around the 7 minute mark on one set but other than that pretty steady effort.

Had my first visit to a chiropractor today, I went in a little sketchy on what to expect but overall I think it went fairly well. The Dr examined me and gave a good explanation on what he thought was gng on and what needed to be done to correct it. Basically stated the root of the problem is most likely an old injury to the sacroiliac joint. Or a strain to the lower back, which I know I have had some issues with across the years. A few laid me up for a couple of days. Today treatment included some sort of shock treatment to release the back muscles, followed by a massage session on this crazy machine that rolled up and down m back, followed by a "crack" session. Not sure about the crack session, just seemed to be a whole lot of force to get it done which is concerning. But there was a noticeable cccrrrraaaaaacccckkk so maybe that's a good thing. Afterwards legs did feel much better, there was a little soreness in the center of my back but nothing major. Next session is on Wednesday so we will see how it continues.

Sunday - April 7

Run #1

1h 16m 25s
8.00 miles
09m 33s /Mi

Run was going along smooth until mile 7.5, then once again BOOM! Knee instantly went from stiff to pain, stopped did some light stretching and headed back to the truck. I was able to finish running but it wasn't easy. Spent probably 30 minutes doing random stretches afterwards and all stiffness and pain dissappeared. Later in the night I had some left over soreness in my hip, which seems to be the normal reaction.
I will keep all of this weeks run to a minimum distance until Thursday when I will attempt to get back up to 10 miles.
To look for an extra boost in recovery I have scheduled an appointment with a chiropractor, info says they specialize in sports type injuries, we will see. At least my insurance covers it 100% so I wil not be out any cash!
