Getting Older Healing Slower

Wind has been good around here lately with warm temps.
After my couple of epic days in the bay I ended up with a jacked up back/hip. This prevented me from doing all the things I love...windsurfing, running and playing.
Thankfuly a chiro friend from new mexico was here. I used his stem machine on it for a few days and he gave me an adjusment. Still was stiff and uncomfortbale to sit. Plus the blisters on my toes were still bothering me. Throughout I continued to run. Seems my blisters hurt worse than my back when running. Did a 14.50 miler on sat and it was VERY Humid. I started on a slow place from AJ and stopped at 7 to fix the bandades on my blisters. The group kept going before turning aorund to get 15. So I decided to head on back as my blisters were screaming. So happens one of the fast guys was haveing a real bad day so I ended up running faster the last half to keep up with him running slow........PATHETIC!!!!!!!!! Made me forget about the blisters.
So last night I started doing some different back side and upper body stretches. Not just my legs like I had been doing and Viola.....I feel great. Did 5 on the red yesterday rest today and back on track for Prickly Pear 50k March 7th.....Yes that's the ticket I am telling myslelf I am going to do it. Signed up and ready to Rock and Roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
