I got through my twenty-miler with the Premier Sports Marathoner in Training (MIT) group on Saturday. Before the twenty-miler, Dr. John Moore, who is also training with the group, gave a talk on hip and lower-back pain (which was very timely for me), so I went to see him yesterday, and he found a glaring muscle imbalance that is almost certainly the cause of the problem I’m having. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get that corrected soon, and I’ll be good to go for the Boston Marathon. In the meantime, I'll continue to train. This coming Saturday is a fallback week, so I'm only scheduled to run twelve miles with the MIT group. It will be nice to have a little break.
