Training log - Week ending 1/26/2025

 This week was 32 miles of running and 9 "miles" of pool-running.

I thought I wrote up and published an entry for this week, but it's not showing now, so this is my second try.  Since I'm now a week behind, I'll just note that I took two days off this week to recover from some prolotherapy injections in my right hamstring and left hip.  These weren't to address a major injury - rather, several people have suggested to me that the repeated problems I've had with my right hip rotators are due to some lingering damage to the right hamstring that I tore about 10 years ago.  So, before I started a new training cycle, I did a round of prolotherapy to hopefully strengthen that area up a bit.

The doctor that I use for prolo usually lets me run right away, but this time he suggested 48 hours off, so that's what I did.
