Ran from Runners Corner up the canyon and back.  Good run, nice weather, though a little chilly for what I was wearing, but bearable.  Had to stop a few times to fix the SI.  Was good to see Toni and Spencer and run with them for a bit.  Felt good for a lot of the run.

You still running...what's going with you!? Hope you're doing well.

Hey Dan, How's it going? I hope you are getting out for some runs. See you around.

Hi Fritz. Thanks for checking in. I have ran about once a week since Boston, without much success. Still trying to figure out how to fix my si joint so I can run again. How have you been doing?

Hi Dan, I am sorry to hear that. That must be super frustrating. Are things improving at all? I had IT band issues starting a few weeks before Boston and had to bow out obviously. Then it got worse and I couldn't run at all until late June. But over the past few weeks I have been able get back into it and had a fairly good race at the DesNews Half on Wednesday. What has really helped is going to a bootcamp type class once or twice a week where we work on core, upper body, and lots of hips. Well I hope it starts to get better soon.
