Here is an update on the ailments that I have included in my blog entries in the past month or so. The sciatic nerve pain in my right ankle and hip, stemming from my back problem, seems to have slowly gone away. The pain from my right hip bruise from falling on the trail a couple times recently s better. My left calf is better, but still a little sore. No more pain from the bulging disc in my back when I run, even though it is still sore and stiff. I may have to live with that. It's not easy, but I can still tie my running shoes. As had been said, getting old is not for sissies. I expect that I will run slower and be faced with more injuries than I experienced in my younger years. I am just thankful that I have the motivation and physical strength to keeping running - every day. This blog, and the fact that I know that it is being read, is a large part of the motivation. I just hope that my experience inspires or otherwise helps others struggling to find motivation to run.
The weather was warm this afternoon (nearly 80) and nice for running. I ran 4.4 miles at the park, mostly on the trails.
