#15

Tomorrow is the Chicago half marathon. It will be my 15th half.


The expo was at navy pier, so I decided to run the 2.5+ miles there to get my stuff and then run back.

It was a beautiful (albeit warm) day. Maybe I shouldn't have worn my jacket...


My plan for this race is to treat it as an easy training run. Just average 9:00 or so per mile and just feel good. My calf, after a week of feeling great has decided to give some discomfort again. Perhaps it is all the carrying of heavy things moving from one apt to a new one- not sure. Depending on how I feel after the race, I might run home- which is an additional 7.7+ miles.



The shirt is pretty cool. It is also very soft. We are encouraged to wear red white and blue tomorrow in remembrance of 9-11.


They were also giving out free posters.

I signed up for a sports chiropractic evaluation. For $25 I will get x rays and an eval to determine if one leg is longer than the other, or if there is some other spinal problem that might be causing the right leg extra stress. The guy at the expo had me stand on 2 scales- one for each foot and told me to stand even and balanced. The weight on my left leg was 11 lbs more than my right. He said a normal range is less than 5lbs. I'm really hoping to get some good answers through this. Monday afternoon I hope to have more knowledge about my problems.


Have you ever had an evaluation with a chiropractor that specializes in sports?
