Thanks,DICK !!!!!!!






It's amazing what a good nights rest will do for you ,too bad I don't know what that is .Thanks to the dick who deemed it necessary to come into the apartment complex and help themselves to what ever they want.You bastard !! Not only did you get my old neighbor righteously fired up but you woke me up in the process.After going back to sleep for about another hour I just couldn't sleep anymore so I got up , made a pot of coffee and thought about starting my "two a day" this morning and after yesterday's fiasco I thought that it couldn't possibly suck any more and I was right.This morning was great less traffic ,not too many people out and the run was awesome ! I felt great ,relaxed running,back pain was light and I still feel good!! Now I am off to a great day.Hope I get off work early today :-)

PAIN !!!!! It's A Good Thing???!!!???!!!???!!!???!!!???!


What a horrible run this afternoon.I have been running on & off since my last posting ( mostly off) and this afternoons run sucked.My back pain is still right there and it is really hindering my performance.The only "bright side" of todays run is that I was out for 25 minutes and it was nice being in Hart Park along the trail.It felt good to be outside enjoying the sun and fresh air for once and I have really given a great deal of thought to running "two a days" Once in the morning and again in the evening. Sounds good for now the only problem is that I can not seem to get out of bed once the alarm goes off. We shall see what tomorrow brings....

Getting Better,Better All The Time...


I really felt good this evening.Run went well and I can only attribute this to an other new pair of shoes.I bought 2 new pairs of shoes yesterday and today I used the second pair and they felt great. I really ran farther and longer and I still had some back pain but not too bad and I was able to finish strong .Just going to rotate shoes every day and perhaps I will start my "2 a days" tomorrow morning but I don't know,It is a real bitch getting up and I really do not want to press my luck and injure myself.So we shall see when the morning comes....

Nothing Better Than A New Pair Of Shoes !!!



Now that's more like it !! I ran a couple of times last week but not really good runs.Back pain is still there and I really tweaked my right calf the last run. Running intervals on a hill and on my sixth time up the hill I heard a loud "snap" and felt something "pop" in my right calf and that was it game over. I limped back to my car and took it easy for 2 days and then hit the road again and the calf felt fine but the back pain was still there so today while I was out I stopped by Big 5 and bought 2 pairs of running shoes and I tried a pair out on the hill and it is a major improvement.No real back pain and I felt good through out so now I am going to try "2 a days" tomorrow.I just have to get up ....
