@henryhoward.bsky.socialShort easy run after 4 days off to deal with a gluteus medius injury.
In my new post, I cover how I diagnosed it (confirmed by my PT!), what caused it, and how to keep it from returning.
Save this for when you need it, or share with a runner friend.

@stevenonthemove.bsky.socialIt's race day in Rochester, MN!
I'm not aiming for a PB. I'm aiming to keep my goal marathon pace for today's Healthy Human Race Half Marathon.

@trackd.bsky.socialHöhenweg, Long Run
First long run with my two running buddies for a long time.
We had a very good time together.

@henryhoward.bsky.socialIt's a start.
The Chicago Marathon, which is Oct. 11, will have four water refill stations on the course this year. The marathon isn’t entirely removing single-use cups. Rather, they are adding water refill stations as an option.

@stevenonthemove.bsky.socialI have qualms about the likely 9th race, so we'll see if I ever get there. It's certainly NOT a priority for me, right now. Boston is tough, but not impossible. I am fortunate to have completed it as a guide runner, but I know that's not feasible for everybody. #RunChat
