Well, the soreness that was developing in my last post got worse through my recovery week. I was hoping to hit it again this week and log another 25 miles or so, but I'm lacking a clear direction on where to take it. This has happened at least a couple times-- a big chunk of progress followed by a readjustment period. It apparently takes more time these days to realize gains in volume, pace, etc. Two steps forward one step back.
I feel compelled to bike more, but it's hard to find time during the day with a newborn. I got out Sunday during Banjo's nap and rode about 30 miles at 2:00 in the afternoon. It was hot. I froze my water bottles, but ironically, the extra heat didn't melt them fast enough! I got pretty dehydrated. bleh...........

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...
