Slow 4 Miles
It wasn't pretty but I ran around the 4 mile block this morning. Didn't go until almost 10 am though and that's late for me. Long story. Anyway, left thigh continues to bother me. I've made a Doc appointment for Thursday afternoon to see what he thinks. He'll order PT no doubt but I want to know if there's something structurally wrong in my spine or hips or whatever. Mom thinks maybe I'm getting some arthritis which is also a possibility. I've had pain and stiffness in my left groin and/or hip most of the summer so something is not right somewhere. I'm planning for a 6 miler on Friday unless the Doc tells me different. Tomorrow I won't be doing anything because I have to take Mom to Stillwater for her appointment at 8:40 am. Unlike you, I won't be getting up at 4 am to get a run in! Then Thursday I will go to the gym again so Friday will be my next run.

10 am is late for you. At whatever pace, you got it done! I'm hoping for 11 minute miles but I'll be content with 11.5. I just don't do the 10 minute miles anymore.
I don't know why I never thought arthritis was a possibility. I guess I just figured it was a muscle so it couldn't be. I'm glad you're going to the doctor. And I'm glad Mom is, too!
Come on! Get up at 4 am! It's fun! Well, you'll have to lie to yourself that it's fun, actually....
My pace today on those 4 miles was 11.17. Left leg is a little sore tonight so the Aleve must be wearing off. Not going to take anything tomorrow or Thursday so it's "natural" when I see the Doc on Thursday afternoon. I will report what I learn.
