Nine Months to the Day

Today was a pretty big running milestone for me.  Jacki and I ran 12 miles today, the most I've run since I got a stress fracture in my sacrum.  February 25th was when it happened, a typical 14 mile training run.  But it was cold, raining, with still an inch of snow on the ground in some places.  This was not a good combination.  It was about 6 miles into our run when I slipped on the rain soaked snow which really jarred me.  I didn't fall down, but from that point on to the end of the run, I had severe pain in the entire right side of my pelvic area.  By the time I got done with the run and drove home, I could barely get out of the car and could barely move for two days.  So, it's kind of ironic that today was a similar day weather wise, cold, rainy and a little breezy, although, no snow on the ground.  I do have some tenderness and tightness in my injury site, but it has been a slow process rebuilding strength balance and flexibility.  So that gives me 37 miles for the week.  Next week will have to be a little conservative. 
I just found out today that Incubus is releasing a new live DVD "Look Alive".  I'll have to see about getting that for Christmas.  My upper body is still kind of sore from playing Mario and Sonic at the Olympics.
