I walked 1.5 miles on the treadmill yesterday and 2.1 miles this morning outside.  That was enough to fire up some part of my leg on my left side.  So, for the next week, I’m not supposed to walk.  Or run, of course.  Nothing from a standing position.  Bike might be an option, but given the pain when attempted at the physical therapist’s office, it doesn’t seem very promising.

I bought a heel cushion (insert) for my left heel at the physical therapist’s recommendation to see if it makes a difference in walking…  It does, but I still feel the pain.

• A journey of 5,000 miles begins with one mile. 1,189 days ago, on April 24,2006, I began a quest that was doomed to fail like so many times before. I weighed over 220 lbs. At some point during the preceding winter, I weighed over 230 lbs (at just under 5'8").  That's a BMI of 35.5--obese. Something was different this......
• Don't trust a pace group #running I have observed a pace group divide: accuracy decreases with target time increase. The pace groups that approach 3 hours come closer than the pace groups that approach four hours and beyond. I have witnessed a 4:15 pace group come in close to 4:30, while the 3:10 pace group was......
