No, I’m not writing about the last Star Trek movie to feature the entire original cast. I am talking about yet another new strategy for my hamstring problem.
This morning my physical therapy appointment further addressed the concept of “working” my leg a little harder. On Friday I was able to literally push harder [...]
Well, this weekend was a busy one. With that came a hold on my cross-training. I have felt bad about missing three days of biking, but at the same time I have also felt exhausted. Overall though, my leg feels the best it has in months. I think I can attribute [...]
I made good on my plans to go to the gym again. I got on the bike again, but did not get as far as I did on Sunday. I did 12 miles in 35 minutes, with the difficulty relatively high most of the way. The last five minutes I tend to cool down on [...]
Well, my physical therapist and I have set a new timetable. As of last Friday I am giving my leg two weeks of intense stretching and working out. The goal is to work my leg as hard as I can and see where that gets me. The key part is that I am not running, [...]
Well, technically Friday isn’t really the weekend, but it certainly kicks things off. Yesterday I decided to get my weekend started by making an honest effort with cross-training again. Some people out there may know that I give swimming a chance a couple weeks ago. That did not turn out well. [...]

It’s depressing. I won’t try to kid myself with the idea that things are getting better.
Last week I went to see an orthopedic specialist in Chevy-Chase. His review of my situation finally netted an answer to the big question, what is wrong with me? Well, it turns out it’s not my hamstring, [...]
Here is a video of Ryan Hall doing a 20 miler this winter on the Boston Marathon course. The guy is a beast.
This video is brought to us from the guys at FloTrack.
This is a run I will be doing when I begin my training. It’s not really a standard training run, but rather a short run I’ll do for a couple weeks to get back into shape. I used to do this run as a “second run” once or twice a week. The [...]
