MY BEST RUN IN 4 MONTHS

I still didn't run fast and I still didn't run far, but I had no discomfort this morning on my TM run.  Yea!

2 miles  17:53

I really think that grinding that painful spot with the frozed water bottle is helping.  Maybe breaking up scar tissue or something.

Cumulus Miles: 2.00

AWESOME!!! That is great news man. 2 miles is 2 miles. Your recovery is coming along great. And with your frozen water bottle discovery. Hopefully you will be gtg for Boston this coming year again.

Can't even begin to tell you how happy I am for you!!! I totally remember that incredible relief of letting all the frustration begin to slip away once you really start to see improvement!!!

I am so so so excited!!!

Thanks everyone. It felt so good I wanted to run another mile, but I then decided I should stop while things where still good. Friday morning I see the Pod. and get my new orthodics. Should be fun.
