In lieu of posting every gym workout and swim, I opted to bring this blog up to date when I put the New Balance trainers to the pavement once again.  Today, thankfully, was that day.  Sciatica issues persist; however, the awkward form, slow pace and leg/foot numbness are less of an issue than not being able to hit the road.  Swimming and weight training, while great additions to the schedule, cannot take the place of running.  The pace was still slow, even for this author, although a bit faster than three weeks ago, when I last attempted to get back in the game.  Nice, cool morning with temps in the high 60's.  No wind, low humidity. First run in August after but one run in July.  The horror.  Quality pool time has maintained cardiovascular health, but, alas, the pool is closed this week for annual maintenance.  I simply had to run this morning.  We'll see what happens Wednesday.  Chest and Tri tomorrow morning.
