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.

Then came a rough showing (4:42) at the Hatfield-McCoy Marathon, followed by tendonitis and an SI joint injury.......
- Brother, that's some determination - streak day 12 #twit2fit Normally, I don't like comments from people as I run by them while I'm running the neighborhoods, but that's usually because of the "Run, Forrest, Run" style comments.

- 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......
- Never been so disappointed in a sub-3 hour 20 mile long run #running #twit2fit I tried to repeat the workout that I pulled off last week--5-4-3-2-1 @ MP on a long run. Last week, that run made me feel that I had a shot at 3:20 for a marathon. This week, my run made me feel I would struggle to hit my PR. While......
- Streak, Day 5: 2.81 miles in 27'01" #twit2fit Yesterday was a "tempo" day--a 1 mile tempo. Maybe that's an interval. Needless to say, I thought I could run a 7 minute mile, but I lost the pace at about 4/10 of a mile and struggled to keep a 7'20" mile. Coming off of that effort with a little......
