It’s Been a Year

It's been a whole year. And then some. It's also been five (!) months since I last wrote an update. I've been writing this post for about six weeks but keep not quite finishing and then something changes. One of my favorite maxims is "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good," so I decided … Continue reading It’s Been a Year →

8 Months and Other Stuff

Well friends, it's been a while.... In my last post a couple of months ago, I rather brashly described my impressively linear progress. As tends to happen, I then immediately proceeded to Overdo Things and then did not make a ton of progress for about a month. A work trip to New York in mid … Continue reading 8 Months and Other Stuff →

It’s Been (Almost) 6 Months!

It has also been a really long time since I wrote an update which is a sure sign of my ongoing reintegration back into normal life. So friends, here's what things look like six months after having my Achilles tendon split down the middle and a piece of my heel bone cut off. Running! I'm … Continue reading It’s Been (Almost) 6 Months! →

20 Weeks

Well friends, it has been a while since my last update. All is well. Very well actually, I have just been out living my life and forgetting to document it. First, a heel update. I'm walking well and at much greater capacity than a month ago. Most excitingly, I've been running for 20 minutes on … Continue reading 20 Weeks →

Hints of Running

Although I already offered up my pearls of wisdom from four months in my last post, today is actually exactly four months since my surgery. In a most significant development, yesterday evening at physical therapy, I ran for fifteen minutes on the Alter G at 65% of my bodyweight. The Alter G is an interesting … Continue reading Hints of Running →

Multisport Saturday

Things really have changed for the better this last week in terms of Stuff I Can Do. Being able to ride my bike has seriously improved my quality of life. I increased my ride time by ten minutes again this morning and upped the intensity a little. It feels so good to be engaging my … Continue reading Multisport Saturday →

Day 7: Running Dreams

I dreamed about running last night. I had just recovered from my surgery but was already trying to join a new track group. I was trying to park as close as possible so as not to tax my capacity to run by walking too far to get there. Then I discovered I had forgotten my … Continue reading Day 7: Running Dreams →

Five Things

I know that in the coming weeks and months, despite my best intentions, I'm going to have days of gloominess, frustration, and downright despondency. Even at the best of times, I'm a little prone to melancholy, and I'm definitely not one to hold things in and pretend that all is fine. I feel confident that … Continue reading Five Things →

Literally and Figuratively

My Achilles heel a/k/a the bane of my running existence. That little bump (“bony prominence”) on the back of my heel, called a Haglund’s deformity, has plagued me off and on for a number of years now. It's been the cause either directly or indirectly of most of my injuries. The bump presses on the … Continue reading Literally and Figuratively →
