Remember me? I'm the fellow who got injured and disappeared! It's been a long road back to running, but ... well, I'm doing a little of it again.

good Convalescent Home, er I mean Gym 12.21 mi 01:00 12.2mph pace
Sixty minutes on the exercise bike. Kind of an interesting workout, really. I kept the machine on the "green" easy range of difficulty but tried not to let the "RPM" number fall... read more

I don't really "run", I jog, but I hear you. Hate the bicycle and elliptical machine. Tried bicycling while listening to audio tapes etc. How long are you off your running shoes?

Thanks for the comments, Ren and Rich!
I hope to be back to running before too long. Maybe. I mowed most of the front yard earlier this evening (which counts as cross training in my book!) and the gimpy muscles only tightened up after twenty minutes or so. That's an improvement.
Maybe this whole thing will teach me some patience!

good I'm back! (Sort of) 8.54 mi 00:45 11.4mph pace
45 minutes on the exercise bike at the gym. I still can't run, and I have a slight limp when I walk. But doggone it, I can pedal the exercise bike now if I keep it on the "easy" setting. ... read more

Good for you. I always panic a little when I am told to sit still - afraid I will get stuck again on my behind...for good.

injured Yo-Yo 10 mi 01:24 08:24 pace
Long run: Four alternating laps at Fish Pond Lake. Started to feel a little bit of stiffness in my left hip toward the end. I have bursitis and ITB twinges pretty often, so I thought nothing of it.... read more

Get Better:
Sorry to hear about your bursitis and ITB. After a couple of days rest you'll hopefully be back to running pain free. Yep, I'm right with you, it sucks to get these old-age aches and pains.

Massage and stretch! That stiffness is what is still plaguing my achilles after each run, but if that's all that lingers from this stupid injury, I will take it for now. I'm icing as I type this. Get some rest!

A nice morning stroll with the dog. Otherwise, an intentional rest day.

Embrace those rest days John! All the training is great, but those rest days allow you to actually recover and get stronger. Great stuff. I'm sure your companion enjoyed it as well! Best, J

Thanks y'all! I'm trying to hit my 1K repeats for Vo2 Max in 4:00.5, as per tables developed by the wise and mighty Jack Daniels (that is, the coach and exercise physiologist, not the distillery). I hit this set pretty well, ranging from 3:55 to 4:01. My recovery laps take about 2:15 (i.e., about a 9:00 mile pace). Warm-up and warm-down should be about 8:32 pace, but I tend to go a little faster than that.

blah SFTC Summer Track Meet #2 - 1M 1 mi 00:06:20 06:19 pace
One-mile race in 6:20.5. Felt lousy, and I'm not sure why. I just couldn't find the right rhythm. Started with a decent first split - 94 seconds at the 409 meter mark - but just kept getting slower... read more

That's a nice time for one mile, John, but when it doesnt feel right, you know it. Obviously, you found your rhythm for the 800!
