Sorry to hear it. Looks like you might be on the lookout for another doc sometime in the ?near? future. :(

I'll give him another visit and see what he says. Sadly, the doctor who is also a competitive runner left the clinic several years ago and things get far more expensive (far less cheap to be honest, yesterday was a free annual exam) if I go to another clinic.

good Post-race hills 8.03 mi 01:01 07:37 pace
Felt surprisingly well on this one. Expected to do 5-6 easy. Ended up feeling well enough that I decided to hit the hills for 8 miles.
