    Hello #2

    Thanks. Took 12 weeks to 5K, plan on 12 weeks to 20K, then maybe another 12 or so to be mountain worthy. There's still snow on the valley floor right now, so by June it should have melted partway up the mountain. Then instead of doing a speed or tempo run midweek, I'll run from the base of...

    Hello #2

    Thanks for the welcome back. Oh, think I'll hold off on the blog idea. Was just telling my wife today that this challenge is unique in that I have absolutely no idea if I can do it our not. Usually, you have a pretty good idea that with planning and preparation you have a solid chance of...

    Hello #2

    Brrrr, must have gotten c-c-cold there this winter. A sore back sucks because everything depends on it. Got hit in the back by a log decades ago & got flown to the hospital in a helicopter, strapped to a back board. Discovered whole new worlds of pain during the ride, but it was better than...

    Hello #2

    Hi there! I was here 10 years ago and got up to 5K barefoot, but then backed off when some nagging pains started to persist.

    No problem TJ, I should No problem TJ, I should also add that for the first year after getting worked on I was hyper vigilant not to hurt my feet further, to the point of sitting down while showering, and crawling to the phone if I wasn't wearing my orthotics. The way I figured it, I...

    Hi TJ, I got PF from Hi TJ, I got PF from standing in poor shoes behind a counter for 8 hours, then I'd go home and spend another 8 to 10 hours standing in my darkroom printing for an upcoming exhibition. After that initial start it just kept getting worse and worse as great globs of scar...

    I'm 50 and feel better now I'm 50 and feel better now than I did in my 40's...my lost decade. Had a few health issues going on then, one of which was a Bad-A$$-Wicked case of plantar fasciitis that had me kneeling in the playground gravel to push our daughter on a swing, and kneeling on a chair...
