<p>Nice job, KS!  You must have done that before sun up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is a balmy 36F here in the Commonwealth. Just beautiful.  6 mile progression run for me. 1st at 9:16, 6th at 7:58.  Avg 8:22.  It is a nice start to the day indeed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have to admire Dove the way she matter-of-factly mentions running a marathon yesterday. That lady is a running machine.  Goofy taperer though.</p>

<p>Happy Valentines day, everyone!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Mike, I forgot to mention the best part about yesterdays jaunt: I fueled 100% on donuts! (and Nuun) One donut at the start, and another at mile 13. How much better can it get?</p>

<p>I haven't run yet today, but after work I have a run scheduled with my very own valentine.  <span><img alt="icon_cheers.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_cheers.gif" style="width:24px;height:24px;"></span></p>

<p>Dove, I had two donuts yesterday, too.  Somehow swimming for 48 minutes doesn't burn them off the same way you did.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Slacking today big time and just got back from yoga.  I need to make a Valentine's date with my foam roller because my hamstrings were screaming and of course my quads are still trashed.</p>

 

[gobi]

<p>I love donuts :¬)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not a lot to report from the UK, 8 miles done in 2 runs but the interval session was sub 4.30 mile pace.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Valentines day, not something MrsG and I care about so we went to body pump and had a kebab</p>

<p>Hi TW,  Hope you get that 2nd run.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How much better can it get?  donuts at 6 and 18 miles also<span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span></p>

<p>John, in a later time zone<span style="display:none;"> ,,   ,</span> , already did 13 miles 3 hours before I even got out of bed.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our weather hasn't gotten "nice" yet so I did a recovery hour on the treadmill after 2 great workouts the last couple days.  Yesterday I did 12X 60 sec (6:15 pace) with 2 minute recoveries at 8:00 pace all at 3% incline and a total of 7.84 miles in 60:00.  Today was a nice 7.13 miles.  Going to Indianapolis tomorrow evening to watch Lebron and the Heat so I will have to run a little earlier than usual.  The plan is an easy to moderate 7.5-7.6 miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I officially signed up for the Gasparilla 15k in Tampa in a couple weeks so it will be interesting to see how good a shape this treadmill running has gotten me in.  They  asked on the registration if I expected to run under one hour and I marked that box so I should get seeded near the front of the approximately 4,000 people running.  Based on my training, I think I can be in the 59-60 minute range (6:20-6:30 pace).</p>

<p>What's not to love? I ran in shorts today. In February. In New Jersey. Granted, there were people with hats and scarves and mittens in the park today, so maybe they didn't get the memo? It was in the upper 40s, probably broke 50F, though it was quite windy. Meh, so you just run a little faster....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>So while I do love to run as well, my run today wasn't very lovely. Was crooked once again, and each step just felt WRONG. But I persevered and managed 4 miles in 37ish minutes, knowing that (1) keeping a positive attitude in spite of my physical discomfort is the way to go, and (2) I was seeing my PT today anyhow, so how much worse could I get?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Turns out it wasn't my sacrum that was misaligned, but my pubic bones. Yeah. Who knew? The front plane of my pelvis on the right side was tilted forward by almost an inch. No wonder everything felt pulled on in the groin area, and down my quad.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh, and for those inquiring minds... misaligned pubic bones are realigned by allowing the leg and hip on the affected side to hang off the table (lying supine), the leg is rotated inward and held in that position, and then you push your knee gently upward against the resistance of being held there. About a half a dozen times of gently doing that adjustment, and all was in order again. As I always say, it's pretty amazing how the body works.</p>

<p>Lovely early 13, KS!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Glad you have an answer from the PT, OM.  Amazing how these little things creep up on us, eh?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Boy did I ever wait too long today to get in a run.  Missed the lovely temps that OM got and went out after work in the nasty wind and rapidly declining mercury.  Wet when I started and beginning to freeze in patches at the end, making the sidewalks treacherous. 5.4 easy miles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good running, gang!</p>
