Being smart and patient

I woke up feeling pretty decent today. I had gone down into the basement and didn't feel a thing on the stairs. This is a huge milestone for me. I haven't descended a staircase in 10 months without a sharp pain.

I decided that I would go down to the bikepath and attempt a 3 mile "long run". I got to the turn around point in 11:30 feeling pretty good. However, at 18:30, I felt my hamstring tightening up. I decided to stop at 20 minutes and call it a day. I'm trying to do more and more of this to keep things moving forward. I decided to skip the hips/core today and give my gluts the day off. I did some flexibility and light soft tissue stuff to my TLF and ITB and now i'm done.

All in all it was a productive week as far as i'm concerned. I managed to run 7 straight days and got better not worse. Hoping for more of the same next week.
