Update post 100k, 50 mile, Marathon

I am finally back to running over 35 miles per week. Cc Major, my MT, pinpointed the problem in my right leg and I have started rolling and yoga to alleviate the problem. I feel much better and  I hope to have it gone in 2 weeks. I take/eat/extract 4 mushrooms now which help in many ways as well as a probiotic. I'll write more about them in the future.

2016 Eversource Hartford Marathon

My daughter Tiffany's first marathon. I started with her, saw her at her mile 15, and saw her heroic finish. I had finished and my thoughts were with her throughout my run. She came around the corner to the arch and was sprinting all the way to the finish. I found out that her left knee hurt since mile 11.
For me it help lift my body out of  a tough recovery from VT and I felt strong but not very fast. 4:14:31 is OK and I have already started running again today.

Finally, My First Run After VT 50

Yes I finally started to run again. I was very tight and I had a strange week. Three straight days of acupuncture BUT the massage on Thursday started me getting loose and I felt like my self Saturday night. I did have to work all weekend so I decided to wait until today to run. 6.4 miles today in 1:00:45 a little slow but my first run in Hoka Clayton's. Very light, I felt glutes but no stress. Nice shoe and I hope to see just how far I can run in them.
Saturday is my daughter Tiffany's first marathon, Eversource Hartford, I hope she loves every minute and has a great run. I am running it, either with her or starting with her and cheering at the out and back and at the finish. Keith Jr. has run with me in a marathon and I hope I can get everyone to run an ultra with me before I am done.
