What ever it takes!

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.
