So I ran yesterday. And the day before that too. And I ran today too. These were not fast or long runs. In fact, they were short and slow with the purpose being to assess the hip. And I learned pretty quickly that my hip is not a 100% clear of being ache free. But I also learned that these runs don’t seem to be causing any other harm. That might be a complete lie to myself but in my personal subjective assessment of it, it could be true.
So this jogging back on it might be a completely stupid endeavor. I might crack something outright. But the desire to get out and enjoy the leaves, the air, the season, and … running … it was strong enough that I put the bike down for a few days and decided to go for it.
The bike however did leave an impression. As an old guy I might actually incorporate that game occasionally. I can see its benefits physically as a complimentary exercise. I’d love to say that even while running regularly I would do it at least one day a week instead of running but I am pretty sure that is a lie I am not willing to commit to yet.
In more positive news, I continue to be blessed in be a part of the BrHS XC experience this year as a volunteer coach. On Friday, the girls won the regional meet, scoring 25 points (an incredible score in a multiple school meet) and put six girls in the top 15. The boys, who were seeded fourth (which would eek them a state qualifying spot), outperformed expectations and got second on 62 points to Poudre’s 55, but beating state contending teams like Fort Collins (basically the 1-2-3-4 predictions went 4-3-2-1!). What a fun day.
