Status Update

I'm continuing twice-weekly treatments with Dr. Moore, and the initial huge progress I was making has stabilized.  I think a lot of the early progress was made because of my two-plus weeks of total rest, but now it's taking a bit longer because we're making adjustments that are presumably fixing years worth of mis-alignments and biomechanical issues, and I've added some running into the mix (admittedly not much).

The past two Sundays have been fairly successful 7-mile walks with "run breaks."  The first week I managed to do this in 1:38; last week, 1:30.  Last week included longer "run breaks" on a hillier route, which traversed part of the Seattle Marathon course:

It was simply a gorgeous day for a run in Seattle, the kind of day where you are reminded how truly awesome it is to be a runner in Seattle in the fall.  Today I have 8 miles on tap, and hopefully I can manage even more running. 

I'm hoping the trip to Hawaii will help get me the rest of the way to healed so that when I return I can start running with Talena again.  Our weekly girl-time runs are sorely missed!  Though she is now so fast I'm not sure I'll ever be able to keep up with her again!

Fingers crossed today is a good run!
