Patience, the NEW Endurance Sport!

tooth ache turned root canal... head hurts too much to run.  I'm just chillin and hoping to feel better for tomorrows run.

So after more than a week of serious tooth pain, my tooth quit hurting :)  It still hurts to chew hard things, but I am pretty happy :)

The run was outside and felt fine.  I was a bit more winded than I would have liked, but it wasn't too bad at all.  I get to run 8 miles this weekend. :) 

I slid my run into a pocket of nice weather....well, nicer than all of the weather surrounding the run :)  I did hit a bit of wind and mini hail.  Not too bad.  My neuromas are back and I am unhappy about it.  I was hoping that all of the time off/reduced would have caused them to heal or disappear or something.  I have had no accident related pain for the past few weeks :)  I should put a little asterisk by that, as I do have mild, occasional SI discomfort as well as mild and occasional back discomfort, but SO much reduced that it is getting hardly worth a mention.  It has been 6 months since I was hit by the car.  My fears with running are even diminishing dramatically.  I can do a whole day of house work without fear of not being able to walk the next day.  I have been lifting heavy things more and more and not having any negative effects.  Hopefully there aren't any surprises, but I feel like things are good.  I go to the PT on Monday.  I am thinking that this will be my last visit.  Hopefully he concurs ;)

*** long run update- I was sore all evening.  Funny how 7 did nothing at all to me, but 8 got the muscles a little upset.  My back is ok.  My SI joint is bugging me.  It's not intense, but it is bothersome.  I will bring it up with the pt. I had a hard time sitting for all of church.  I did a 15-20 minutes stand and march in place thing between meetings and that helped everyone (the legs and the SI joint) tolerate the sitting better.  Sacrament meeting killed me.  It wouldn't have been so bad, but I had boys crawling all over me and I was sitting there for and hour and 25 minutes after sitting for an hour and a half in another meeting.  I wonder if there are some stretches that can help to get this joint a little less grumpy.
