DOUBTS ON RUNNING

it's been 3 weeks and my back is still not right.  a bit despondent.  a part of me thinks I can still run...but...just gotta lose more weight.  other part says to quit entirely to avoid future injury and $$$ of chiropractor and acupuncturist.  in the meantime, i'm in the middle of fasting for a colonoscopy on Monday. life is good. thank you Lord.

SHAMROCK

https://www.relive.cc/view/1457253488

ran in Brooks Beast 4EE.  pain in left rear is manageable.

was planning on doing the 8K Shamrock...but...temps in the low 30s!!!

running strides are a bit off.  talked to Ghent Chiropractic...John and Taylor...who taped my back up.  am thinking about doing the 1/2 marathon tomorrow...but...serious lack of training and coming off this sciatica...no go.

however...life is great.  Thank you Lord.

FIRST WORKOUT AFTER SCIATICA EPISODE

rested the entire week after acupuncture treatment by Jayne on Monday...3/5.  right leg was very sore and stiff.  after studying why, i determined the mal-alignment of my hips was due to using the new Brooks Beast 4EE. on Saturday, 3/3/18. here's the workout: https://www.relive.cc/view/g18598446720

On Monday...treatment at Jayne.  I felt my hips naturally move into proper position.  acupuncture is awesome.  Went to Dr. Lou...chiropractor latter in the afternoon.  Xray showed neck getting more compressed than back.  He did an adjustment.  He said my Piriformis muscle is in spasm.  Good to know it wasn't a herniated disc.

Life is good.  Thank you Lord.
