Running Again

Those past few months have been very busy, between preparing the boat, work and a bit of travel to support our little cheerleader.
The hard work on my body started to pay.
The counter intuitive imbalance work from Ben Greenfield - with a website that looks like a scam - did a little miracle, combined with a couple of successful chiropractor sessions and deep release work.
Pushing ankle exercise every other day instead of every day provided a good healing of my Achilles tendinitis - Maybe one year in the making !

Hips have been stable for a couple of weeks, Kiting - Foiling , Sir ! - is now permitted and some progress have been seen on this infamous flying carpet.

But the most pleasant of this past week were the three Makawao forest run I did with Barnaby, One hour 15min + runs that reconciled me with running, the forest and the mud.

Did I mention that in winter, the forest is a bit wet ?

I am working now with a new physio, Mackenzie, who I recommend - Deep Relief, a little bit closer from home - to be fair I highly recommend Mike from Orthosport - situation was becoming impractical between the two islands though - but I deeply appreciated all the work we did together last year.

Barnaby is not happy when I dry him,
but believe me, mud baths are good for his skin

Obviously, all the work I did with my other half (Christelle) is certainly not a stranger to this - so far - happy outcome.

I have high hope that continuing to focus on flexibility and strengthening gonna pay its dividends.
Or continue to pay off, it seems.

Better have to, because I signed for a marathon early October - plenty of time still, but still feel like a very very far reach at this point.
