Running in 2009

Recap;
>Total miles; 3,718 (Total of 38% more miles than 2008, averaged just over 10 miles a day)
>Days off due to rest or injury/sick; 34 days
>Injuries; in August I struggled with left leg pain in the shin and sciatic. I was able to recover through chiro help at the Bone & Joint Clinic in Houston. On December 7th, mid-run, my right lower leg and shin began to hurt and still is. Likely to be a stress reaction that I will continue to go easy on by using the elliptical and bike along with some swimming. Also, calf and shin strecthes, strengthening, and flexibility.
