Met Jo and Darin before work. Darin found out that the hip pain he's been having is mild to moderate DJD (Degnerative Joint Disease), and he was told it won't get better, and to cut back on the distance and speed -- my running buddy is injured. That's a big bummer.

Jo is having knee issues.

We jogged the first 1.6 together at about 8:40 pace, then I left them, and finished 4 miles with a nice tempo run.

all doctors tell us what happens to all of us....this is natural in all humans.

Thanks guys. The doctor Darin went to is a runner..and a very fast one at that. He said that he himself has DJD, as well and has it worse than Darin. The doctor hasn't cut back his running much..and kicked my butt by a few minutes at the 15K we ran on Labor Day. He suggested that Darin cut back on the distance and speed - if it weren't for the pain he's experiencing, I think Darin would keep on truckin' at his current speed and distance. We signed up for the Houston full marathon -- Darin's still contemplating what to do.

7 days til SGM!!! (I'll do a 10 miler at MP tomorrow morning)
