The Bottom - Entry for September 16, 2007
Well, it honestly can't be much worse than this. Today I ran 5 aching miles. I figure if I ran a 5K today, it would have been about 24 minutes. Aargh. Physical symptoms recap - left ahnkle no longer feeling completely sprained and tight, a good thing. In fact both ankles feel quite good, though the left still feels a bit achy afterward. Left knee, not good. hips, awful, particularly the left. deep seated pain there. hamstrings both sides are real tight and achy. It never wamed up. usually, after a mile or so, thing loosen up and feel fine. not tonight. right calf seems to have normalized again. that's a plus. that felt real bad last week. shoulders still are sore and achy too. some of that is rotator cuff stuff, but the front side pain in the musculature isn't. that's got to be the Lyme stuff. well, I figure it has to improve from here. I looked at my legs tonight after the run and thought... 140.6 miles on these limbs, ha. I'd probably force myself through it come hell or highwater, but there's quite a road to travel yet. about 300 days to go...
Out,
