President's Day 2009
It's really amazing -- for the longest time my blog rants have had much to do about injury, pains, discomfort, etc. on my left side. I saw a chiropractor and an orthopedist, had x-rays and adjustments and the soreness, etc. would just move around. The doctor's observation, that I had labrum tears in my pelvis, seem to make sense but there was little he could to "fix" it without major surgery. So, I cut back a bit and tried to work through it. After a while the pains seem to diminish and, believe it or not, I kinda forgot about it. The other day I realized that pretty much every thing on my left side has been feeling pretty good when I run, either on the treadmill or on the road. Go figure. I guess its that old "Let Go & Let God" thing!

Today, I was all inside and out, consumed by my own personal repercussions associated with the Recession of 2008-2009; wicked crazy, actually. Early in the day, I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and later in the day I went back to the gym for 40 minutes of strength training. When I was finished I felt terrific; I felt strong, able to deal with all the uncertainty, pressure and stress the current economic environment is putting on us all. I think I am going to make a point of getting at least 2 strength sessions in a week, even if it costs one running session. I need that strength buzz!
