Reverse Taper- take 2. Last week was all jumbled, so I decided to start over. Runner's prerogative.

Feeling ok-ish. My left quad is bugging me, but only when I run. Oh the body. Need to get some longer runs in soon.

Did not have time for more with a full day of work- pushed my pace some to see how the legs would respond.

6 miles- slow pace. About 5 miles in I had a guy stop his truck and ask me for directions to a certain street. I let him know where it was and he asked how far I was running. After a few moments of conversation we talked about marathon running. He said he used to run 7 mile, but not any marathons. All is normal until he said, well I am 69 now so I don't run after my quintuple by-pass surgery. He pulls his shirt down and shows me his scars, and said "I ate too much junk food", thanked me for directions and left. I knew it was going to be a banner day. 

Leg update. After doing some exercises and testing I have figured out my legs have recovered fine but my slow progress is all in my left quad. I think the muscle is strained - just don't know how bad. I will have to go back to the docs I am afraid. I am leaving on a work trip Sunday too so it won't be right away for the doc. Trip is in Cancun so I will just have to suffer that one out.

Took yesterday off running, took some vitamin 1, used the foam roller. Ran 7 today and its the best my quad has felt since the marathon. Problem the best still hurt, just not as bad. Hopefully it will heal, but after the trip I know I have to visit  PT.

Lot's of packing today- heading out early. Its a work meeting/retreat in Cancun. Yes I know, rough. I have a few running people from work there so I should get a few miles in as long as everything holds up!
