Such A Simple Thing
Have you ever had a problem that medical professionals, physical therapists, and massage therapists have told you about, but no one has ever really resolved the issue? I have lost count of how many people have told me my right leg is shorter than the left one over the years. That right leg has been…

A Challenge Accepted
I don’t know about you, but when someone thinks that I can’t or might not be able to accomplish something, that I believe is within my capabilities, I tend to bristle up a bit. It also gives me the motivation to push a bit harder than I might have otherwise. Let’s get to it Well…today…

Rehab Day 4 – A Fine Line
I don’t know about you, but I find that weeks 2-4 are the toughest part of rehab, recovery, or whatever you want to call it. Your body is still in full-heal mode as far as it is concerned and it wants to conserve as much energy as possible to accomplish that. While I want to get…

Rehab Day 1 – So It Begins
The big thing today was meeting my new physical therapist over at VA Togus. It was our get-acquainted day, where you flounder through the initial 10-15 minutes while you both are rapidly attempting to figure out if we are a good fit.

Sometimes You Gotta Show Up
This morning I ran with Bennie, a nice easy 2.5 miler down back, nothing special, just a nice run on a beautiful day. What was surprising was that I didn’t run the Doc & Mardie 5K over in Waterville this morning, which I had planned on doing all summer, it was one of my goal…

12 x 20 Second Strides – RunLog 7-8-14
TheWife is on vacation this week, so my schedule is slightly different from it usually is. In other words my schedule is more about what she wants to do and I get my runs/workouts in around that. Last night she was spending the night with SD2, so I got to entertain myself around the house,…

Another ACAR Run – RunLog 7-7-14
Time to get caught up on my running log, it has been a few days and I am falling behind again. It seems that I have spent more than a few too many mornings at Al’s Certified Auto & Repair shop lately, but the Jeep’s left front tire developed another leak (what is it with…

Sorta Speedwork – RunLog 7-1-14
I am tired of whining, pissing and moaning about my frigging leg. No matter how I do, it isn’t going to change anything. I know that I will still do it, but at some point everyone else has to be getting sick of it being the primary topic of conversation on my blog and when…
