Thursday was going to be the day I drove up to home, but a late JH session and add-on appt with Dr L meant a late drive. So I waited until Friday (for the better!). The run felt heavy and clunky, I was still feeling the Tuesday session with JH. With Dr L, the major issue was my back and neck, swelling in my left leg (adhesion of saphenous vein), and decreased ROM in left hip. All worked on. All feeling better afterwards.
Friday a rest day. Was thinking about a swim before driving. Didn't happen.
Saturday -- once the temp warmed up form 32 to about 58 I took off on Frea with the goal of 90 mins. There was a steady wind out of the north which made for some sloooowww sections, but the tailwind was worth it. Kept it simple -- up to school road, north to 25th, north to campground, continue in to Matt Park, back, out-n-back to round out the time. Watched dust devils formed from the freshly planted fields, tractors and planters at every turn.
Sunday -- am run with a breakthrough!! And got to watch the full moon set over brekkie. With no curbs and cars and urban trail to distract me, I FINALLY found a connection between the work with JH and running. Yeah, I can be a slow-to-warm bulb. I felt able to push back on the weighted leg (the one I push down on the ball with) instead of pulling the forward leg up (don't lift this leg off the ball, focus on pushing down the other leg). Is this making sense? 2 min run and 2 min walk intervals. Felt great! So did the bike, just a simple out n back.
Monday the drive back to STL. There's more to say, but I can't stand here all day, just gotta hit the highlights.
