OK, I need to somehow get better.  I ended up in Punta Cana this week, I've never heard of this place until about a week ago and it is amazing.  I love barefoot beach running in the morning, so I couldn't resist at least trying.  Maybe went about 4 miles total but only managed running for maybe half of that.  I was really tired this morning after a long aweful day of flying and working yesturday so tomorrow I'll try and get out earlier.

Just a walk on the beach! 

Maybe I should add a beach walk shoe to my list.

My legs decided to cooporate with me this morning and let me do some real running, I wanted to get up early enough to see the sun come up over the Atlantic Ocean, pretty much just an amazing morning out for a run on the beach.  I'm sad to be leaving this place today, I really want to come back and actually have a vacation with the family here now.

I tend to get on East Coast time really easy so I was up early and just went to the gym this morning.  Saturday mornings are the best, pretty much have the entire gym to myself.  Really good run, and then weights after.

I have a confession, I went to Dr. Albano yesterday, he took some x-rays and said everything looks "OK" and told me to keep up with my physical therapy.  I wasn't going to let him get off that easy and forced him to give me a steroid shot.  I know the purists out there will think I'm just an aweful person but I just can't handle the pain any longer, I need to get back running again before I go insane.  Felt great running today, my hamstring doesn't bother me at all running any more.  Sitting on a plane for 8 hours is a different story.

Anyway, I'm happy to be pain free for a while, I'll just take it easy and see what happens.

Another treadmill run, feels good to run again.  Hopefully I can keep it up for a while.

Hip was a little tight today, 30 minutes on the elliptical, 30 minutes on the stair stepper, 30 minutes of weights.  I used to make fun of the people on the stair stepper cause it looked so easy but that is the only thing that gets my HR even close to running.

I really just have no idea what's wrong with me, running just hurts, all over.  I can't just pinpoint one area, I'm not sure if it's mental or something is just wrong.  I wake up in the morning hurting, running hurts, sitting hurts. 

Elliptical doesn't hurt, so 30 minutes of elliptical, 3 miles on the treadmill, 30 minutes of weights.

Well that was weird, I woke up this morning for the most part pain free.  Not sure what I did different than what ever I've done for the past few months but I felt good so I decided to take advantage of it.  I told myself I'd stop if it ever started hurting at all but it never did.

6 miles in 51 minutes.  pretty happy about it.

I can only assume that it's the steroid shot that is finally allowing me to run without pain.  I'm grateful to be kind of running but how long will it last?

Weird that it took a week to kick in.
