Run in Circle C

Today I just ran my usual 4 mile out and back in Circle C. I wanted to do 7 easy on the trail again, but my physical was scheduled for 9AM and I could only have water until after that. I figured 7 miles with no food for 3 hours wouln't be a good idea. I pushed myself a little harder than I have been running and felt pretty good. My back is still tweaked from the fall, but my legs felt good. My right hip/glute still feels a bit weird, but I will get back into the weights and work on it. I have picked up about 5 pounds since the marathon so it's time to get back in the full time swing and not enjoy my food and beverage as much.

My physical went well and I was told that I am doing everything that a 40 year old should be doing to stay healthy...exercise, minimal alchohol, and no smoking. I still have to get my blood work back, but the doc didn't think that my fall was caused by anything serious. Since I am healthy I didn't have to do the full battery of possible tests, but if I keel over again, I will have to go back in for the full work up.

I plan to run easy tomorrow 4-7 miles, and then join the group for the long run on Saturday.

Stats - 4.07 miles/32:55/8:04 pace

It seems that a lot of you Chicago people have been enjoying the "food and beverage" a lot more than usual. Sounds like fun to me!

I think we are all very tired from running all summer. I know I was really good the last couple of months with the diet and no alchohol.
