AM - 6 Alter G miles - the faster pace has resulted in sore /tight hamstrings.   Went to the doctor about the foot.  The good news is that the X-rays and clinical exam did not reveal a stress fracture.  The bad news is they did not have any real diagnosis.   They did give me a steroid injection in one of the painful areas.  I was a bit surprised that none of the doctors had heard of the Alter G treadmill - and this was a sports medicine place.

That is surprising to say the least...

I'm dealing with several achy body parts too. It has been a long time since I had a care free run that didn't hurt somewhere. I'm trying to get more consistent about stretching, mobility exercises etc. but sometimes I think it's just something I have to deal with - sadly.

Oh, and Happy New Year!

Thanks Rob. Old guys like us just have to deal with aging body parts I guess. Happy New Year!
