Update - Return to Running - Attempt # 5.

Started running as I started vacation last week. Vacation was a weekend in NYC followed by a week in mid-upper New York (Corinth to be exact) followed by a week on the beach in Cape May New Jersey.

8/1 - 1 mile
8/4 - 1 mile
8/6 - 1.5 miles
8/8 - 2 miles
8/9 - 2 miles
8/10 - 3 miles (barefoot)
8/11 - 5 miles
8/13 - 4.5 miles (barefoot) ---a little soreness at the end
8/17 - 2.0 miles (barefoot)
8/18 - 3.0 miles (barefoot)
8/20 - 3.0 miles (barefoot) - sore feet from the vibrums on gravel
8/22 - 1.5 miles
8/23 - 3.8 miles
8/24 - 3.0
8/25 - 3.0
8/26 - 3.0
8/27 - 3.2
8/28 - 7.0 miles with a walk break in the middle - no soreness at all
8/29 - 3.0 miles (barefoot)
8/30 - 4.0 miles
*9/1 - 4.4 miles - felt a little sore, 3 mile walk in the PM - felt more sore.
9/2 - 0.4 miles barefoot on grass - soreness not deminishing - bail..

* This one seemed to be the turning point to bad - prior to this the slight soreness I sometimes felt seemed to be deminishing day by day .... maybe because after a day off I was a little tighter? don't know but the double (counting the walk) I think was too much. Soreness wasn't quite in the right place so I wasn't convinced SFX was involved but just thought I needed to get rid of the soreness feeling.

Started doing some strengthening exersizes most days with the thinking to try to strengthen the Glut's to take pressure off the piriformis while running.

9/6 - 35 miles bike ride
9/7 - 55 miles bike ride

noticed a little soreness next couple days around the sfx site so stopped biking.

9/11-9/15 - pool running building up from 10 minutes to about 25 minutes in the last one.

9/16 - a little soreness at sfx site
9/17 - soreness is stronger - even limping a little - at the sfx site as well as lower :-(....

..attempt #5 is over
