Have you watched much evening new lately? They have a tendency to just keep piling on the bad news regardless of the situation. If someone did not get murdered in their town, they will cover another town's chaos. I feel like I have a permenant spot on their set.
My hip is improving slightly--I would say it is 85 to 90%. I did do some running this week in Memphis on a synthethic track. I was able to try to ramp the speed a little and test the hip. There is a definite limit on how much the hip will take without getting stiff and painful. I ran three times last week, twice indoors and once out. My fitness level is very good, but I am struggling to be pain free.
Yesterday I had a back problem jump up and smack me up side the butt. I was moving some firewood and cutting up some debris and was bent over for 30 seconds and when I straightened up, I had a very intense stiffness in the lower back. It was pretty instense, so I had Linda put on some redhot and continued on with the day. I will take several days for me to work through. The last time this happened, I had a low speed bike incident. I tried to jump a curb with a mountain bike at 0.5 mph and I failed, caught the curb and when flying off the bike--it stopped immediately. I got back to normal in about 5 days--hopefully that is the case this episode. Stretching, heat and cold treatment this week.
I will be traveling to Boise, Idaho this week. I will be training some new talent for the tissue business. I had hopes of getting in some work at higher altitude, but with my health situation, I would settle for some walking at this point--greta way to burn some fat. They have some great hills in the area, so hopefully I can take advantage of the terrain.
Next Saturday I run the 400 at the TN State meet in the morning. I will visit my massage therapist after the race and run the 50 and 200 m on Sunday morning. Hoepfully this old body can hold up for another meet and I will not be "Breaking News". News at 11 !!
