cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I’m back. I ran today for the first since, oh, since February. 2010, yes. I had planned to take a year off from the PF Changs; I was going to get into biking, spend more time hiking, paddling. And KAPUT- I did hardly none. I need to get [...]

cc licensed flickr photo shared by Jeremy Brooks Today was the Big One, the Long Run, the Big Enchilada… the longest training run for Team Diabetes. I was glad I was down in Phoenix to run this, cause on my own, isolated, I might not have done it. Or maybe it was because I told [...]

I’ve been doing a very slow ramp up to running, doing some 20 minute runs with my new Nike+ setup (which I love, and strapping an iPod Nano to the arm is lightweight). But oh, am I out of running shape! I’m lucky if I can go 1.5 miles without starting some walk breaks. I’m [...]

With one painless slow run in this week, I’m not about to haul off and pound the pavements too hard yet, so this morning I took the bike out for an hour’s ride, taking care of a bank deposit as well. Again, no pain at all, on a lovely morning cruise up the Indian Bend [...]

After a long, long, LONG, long, long hiatus from almost all activity, propelled by a heavy work travel schedule, something big happened today. I ran. And there was zero pain in my shin anywhere. Even later. Cured? Not a chance. But a bit optimistic? Heck yeah. So I am again at a starting point, hoping [...]

Turning to some bike training, I took a spin this afternoon out on the Arizona Canal… I did have something I needed to photograph for work, though that excuse may be a little thin. I also had a prescription pick-up at the new Walgreens near us (my doc thinks a stronger antibiotic will deal with [...]

The running has ceased. Even with rest, my shins remained the same. Last week, I was in San Antonio for my organization’s conference, and although I packed running shoes and gear, they never left the suitcase. There was not time, and even walking, I felt the complaints from Mr Left Leg Shin. And it was [...]

Just another clear, crisp, sunny morning in Arizona. Skipping todat’s 14 mile Team D run (I needed to be in Tempe at 10 for a friend’s wedding), I opted for another bike ride. This time, I rode east from Pima road, along the Arizona Canal, crossing the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community. The way out [...]

In exercise switch mode, this morning I tried to make up for yesterday’s no run with a bike ride, taking the Arizona canal west through the “perennially under contruction of condo towers” that is downtown Scottsdale. So I am getting my miles while sitting down. It’s been almost 2 years, and still vrtually impossible to [...]

It was a beautiful still night, not hot, not cold, for the Team D Wednesday night track training. On my warm-up laps, I am still feeling some tenderness in my shin… it is not pain enough to prevent runnning, and more like an annoying reminder that I am starting to just accept as hanging around. [...]
