[ Running ] Well the last time I updated my running blog was last August when I finished the San Francisco Marathon. That was my first and this year will be my second.

I started my training two weeks ago and I am about two weeks behind of when I wanted to start. I removed a few runs out of the way and jumped into a 9 miler and it felt really good. The next was a 10 miler and although the heat was tough and the gnats were out in full force it was a good run. I did roll my ankle as I was swatting the gnats away but I iced it quick and was back running three days later.

But now it has been a slow week. I hurt my hip a couple weeks back playing some tennis and I did something this week to agitate the hip. After two days of ice and tiger balm it appears to be much better. So this weekend I'll do an 11 miler but keep it slow.

I need to get back in the gym and concentrate on my core workouts in order to support my running. I think some golf time is needed too ;)
