Now, the last three days have been typical for my Spring fun. On Sundays, a total of 4 miles with the real work being 9 x 1 minute lactate stackers. ? You run 1 minute, rest 1 minute, run 1 minute. Mine go like this: 1 minute slight uphill at 1500 m pace, 1 minute [...]

It has been 10 days since surgery. The first few days I took it easy, one day on crutches, the next day without but with the main weight on the left foot. And it got better from day to day. I went to physical therapy, got a list of exercises to do at home. Strangely, [...]
Sure, it hurt to compete in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico at the Regional Championships. It hurt last Saturday at the Winston-Salem Throwers Meet as well. Yesterday, I went to a local knee specialist that Dr. J recommended. Dr. Liljeberg confirmed what I already highly suspected: meniscus tear, hopefully small. I will have arthroscopic surgery and it [...]
Stopover in Phoenix. Did not even buy a coffee. But I pissed on them. I need to go on a little jog this afternoon, just have to. Feeling fat & bloated. Good bye, Arizona.
Went up into the hills to the Bargain House. It looks like it will be completed very soon. What a beautiful place it already is! Just gorgeous. No, I needed a rest today. No running, definitively no throwing.
Slept in. Read the Sunday paper on the porch over the lake. I simply don’t know what to do after printed media (Sunday papers!) will be extinct. I’ll freak out. Though about running but then decided that I need a rest. Went downstairs instead and worked in the gym, concentrating on bench presses and standing [...]
@ the track at 6:00 AM. After the usual (ins-outs) warm up and the drills, we did a few 600 m with the first 200 very hard, the next 200 easy and the last all out. It was tough, already warm at 7:00 AM. Normally, I don’t bend over after anything. Today, I did. I [...]
Did a double. In a ‘typical summer pattern’ we were at the track at 6:00 AM and worked to 7:30 AM. It was a good one, tons of plyo-work, drills, run throughs and so on. In the afternoon, I went down to the basement gym. After the usual warm-up, it was time for 6 x [...]
Day off. Went to the mountain home to look up the progress and meet the log whisperer. That place will be beautiful, that much is already plain to see. I hope they will be finished by the end of July and I think they can do it. From Traphill, we went up to Roaring Gap [...]
Well, my tongue got the day off. Me, too. But I did get my massage… and it hurt. My therapist found a whole gallery of sailor’s knots and untied one after the other. Went up the hill to the Three Oaks Farm and bought all kinds of fresh stuff (corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, peaches and [...]
