      These were the good old days. It is going to be a long, long time before I am in this shape again. And this time I'll be doing it safer and more carefully.

    East Memphis Cycling 18.45 mi 01:25 13.0mph pace

    Two loops around Audubon Park and two figure eights in the Rolling Oaks neighborhood. I decided to hit the hills today to try to strengthen and balance my legs. My pace went to crap when I hit Roll... read more

  8. I discovered today I can climb stairs to help my leg imbalances and mechanics. I work in a 13-story office building downtown, and I can do these stairs on my lunch break and work up to multiple set... read more

  9. Birthday today, so I'm laying low. Y'all sweat a little extra for me and I'll hit it hard again tomorrow.

  10. #dailymission I only listen to music in the gym and there is not really one song that is a must since my mood differs from day to day. I usually just pick a playlist on my iPod and shuffle it.

  11. RUN
    blah Colonial Acres Run-Walk-Run 1.76 mi 00:21 11:41 pace

  13. VELO
    good Colonial Acres Cycling 16.19 mi 01:12 13.5mph pace

    I've started ignoring any pain in the upper part of the knee because it needs to be worked and strengthened so I can run. Besides, the pain I am feeling is not tendon-related and feels more li... read more

  14. swim
    good UTHSC Pool 2100 yd 01:05 54:28 pace

    Mostly freestyle, but did 100 yards of kickboards and mixed in 50 yards of backstroke after a mile of freestyle.

  15. #dailymission Sometimes the very early morning or late at night is the only time to get that 20-miler in. Just be keen and aware of your surroundings.

  16. RUN
    alright Colonial Acres Run 2.22 mi 00:26 11:46 pace

    A *little* better this time.

  17. I long for the days when I could just go out and run with no fussing and no pain. I'd have to say I would not wish this process on my worst enemy.
