Chilly and windy Lakefront run with the New Leafers...We then wrapped it up (in a pita) with a big ol' filling of falafel from Falafill! That's Epic.

good Sunny Side Up -Waterfall Glen 18.6 mi 03:03 09:50 pace
A bit of a scorcher today at Waterfall Glen. The first loop wasn't so bad but finishing up the second in the mid 80s took some effort to push through the heat. As always, it was great to hit the ... read more

great Epic Wednesday 10.29 mi 01:27 08:27 pace
Only a handful of us runners this evening but got to catch up with a few New Leafers following Ice Age. The midweek TNT drills were kicking off this evening too. I imagine I'll mix it up over the... read more

alright Pre Brunch Run 10.24 mi 01:33 09:03 pace
First run since last weeks 50 miler but I have to say this morning was defined more by the brunch with friends than the run on the Lakefront. But if the run is the excuse it's worth getting up bef... read more

great Gnat again! 10.5 mi
Rode the bike home from work along the North Branch of the Chicago River. It was a beautiful but breezy ride into a head wind. It would have been a very pleasant ride had it not been for the many... read more

good Rainy Ride Home 9.9 mi 00:45 13.2mph pace
Decided I would ride my bike home today the whole distance rather than take it on the Metra. I enjoyed the ride even with the traffic I had to put up with in the rain. It took just about as much ... read more

Well it's been two and a half years but I finally was able to PR a marathon again. I shaved only 3 minutes off my time from the '09 Chicago Marathon but I'll take it!

I would have liked to run through town this morning but I just didn't feel adventurous enough to explore it in the dark. I spent a few minutes on the hotel's treadmill which is better than nothing... read more

great Palmer Square Dog Run 3.53 mi 00:27 07:39 pace
It's race week so we kept it short but swift for a dog run. It's not easy going for a speedy run with a dog who is so easily distracted. Sometimes I think these dog runs are kind of like sprint t... read more

good Epic City Wednesday 8.57 mi 01:15 08:45 pace
Great to see my fellow New Leafers after a couple weeks while I focused on mending the foot. As always great stories and loads of fun to hear everyone recap their recent races. See you next week!

good Back to Palmer Square 5.02 mi 00:45 08:53 pace
I'm very happy to be running sort of regularly again. I think the PF has been managed really well with the trigger point therapy.
I brought the dog-boy out and headed back to Palmer square. We d... read more

Thanks Tom! Yeah, the recovery was pretty fast! Not 100% but maybe 90% there in less than 10 days. A friend of mine had suggested I look into myofascial release for my PF as he had done the same. I suggest this book for reference: http://www.amazon.com/Trigger-Point-Therapy-Workbook-Self-Treatment/dp/1572243759/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334439112&sr=8-1

I hope you feel better. Be sure to take it easy and get a massage. Ask them to focus on your feet and calves.
