updates...

Well, on the personal front...as I watch my Denver Broncos get killed by the Chicago Bears and Jay Whiner Cutler...

I am still suffering from hip/lower back pain caused by my Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction. I am doing the exercises and stretches prescribed by my physical therapist as well as some good videos on You Tube. After bring to the physical therapist 2 times for this I felt that I had it under control, however after the San Diego Marathon I stopped doing the exercises and stretched and now that I have started to get somewhat serious about my running the pain is back as bad as ever. But I am serious about doing the Denver marathon or at least half marathon and I will keep doing what I need to do . I have found some stretches and exercises that really seem to help, and as soon as I can get Lyndsey up to pulling my right leg as hard as she can to try and snap my SI joint into place, I feel that I will be doing well. Right now if I keep it at 10:30 per mile or slower I feel ok, but faster or downhill will cause a real pain in the joint and lower back.
If I go back to Denver I will go on another Invesco Field tour and spend the day at the best brewery anywhere, Great Divide. Try the 15th anniversary, it is the best beer I have ever had.

Do you need proof that American can run with the worlds best? watch Ritz...

Today's training

Today I got in 7 miles at marathon pace. It was 83 degrees and windy, overall not too bad, except my schedule called for 8 miles. I needed to get home and pick up my daughter from Drama club practice.

The rest of the week is:
Friday 5 or 6 miles
Saturday 8 or 10
Sunday 10 (recovery week after 15 last Sunday)
Monday 5 or 8
Tuesday speed work
Wednesday REST!

I am a bit miffed by the Jay Cutler trade, I didnt think he would go anywhere. Kinda upset, kinda happy. Time will tell.
