I don't want to jinx it, but I feel good lately. Monday, Wed and Thurs I did the sandwich workout and Saturday morning I went to the trail with Banjo and pushed him in the jogger for 14 minutes as part of another sandwich. I didn't worry about the pace, but I was well under 9:00 pace, not that it matters, but that too is encouraging. I saw lots of my old running buddies on the trail, which was fun. I'm gonna make this a regular Saturday morning gig.
Tuesday I went to the gym and did an elliptical with core workout. And Friday I aquajogged with Shannon. It has been a good week.

A blog about my lame hip. I have a torn labrum. It's sort of a rare injury, and it's been difficult finding information. Here's an account of my surgery and my return to running. I hope some find the information useful.
About Me
- Rich
- Austin, TX
- “I don’t see how anyone related to me can run a marathon”, my Dad had told me. I couldn’t argue. I had inherited his short legs and flat feet, yet I was thinking about training for a marathon. My wife was pregnant, due in six months. And I was up to my eyeballs in pre-baby anxiety. So running a marathon didn’t sound all that crazy-- a healthy way to channel my nervous energy. I never intended to run much more than my first marathon, but thousands of miles later, and much to my surprise, running has become an obsession of mine.
I hope that my lame-ass hip is only a bump in the road on my running journey-- a fairly big bump, mind you, with evil-looking spikes-- but a bump nonetheless...
