Comments: It has been two weeks since my last run and a good three since the race. Work fun has allied with the desire to get over the severe pain the marathon left me in but it has come time to get back on the road.
The jaunt today was completely low-key. No watch. No pace. Just a mile and a half to see how I felt. The up side - I felt pretty good. I could actually just go an run without all the crippling agony holding me back again.
The worst part of my soreness was a jarring agony in my upper quads at my hips whenever I took a step. That's completely gone now.
On the down side - the psoas situation on my left leg is clearly still lurking around.
Regardless, it was nice to get a bit of a run in again. I'l see about adding to that over the next few days.

Injury update: I still have a distinct ache in the left psoas but not the overriding pain I was suffering through before. Of course as recently as last weekend it was hurting enough to make getting in and out of the pickup an excruciating endeavor. I'll go visit the chiropractor next week and we'll talk over where it is at and what I need to do to deal with it.
