So now I'm moonlighting as driske, mopak, JonH, and Reality Checker? Seriously?

The truth is I haven't posted since Monday

Liar. You are JonH and RC. As well as the guy who posted 15 miles, god knows why. To bump the thread?

HOW DO I KNOW? :)))

So now I'm Brady Anderson, too? Is there anyone else posting on this thread besides me? Ha ha! Watch out, tpcb, next he'll be telling us that you are me, too! Ha ha!

Go ahead and tell us....how do you know? I'm calling you out. Put up some hard evidence, or shut up. No one believes you! Your ceaseless trolling is getting quite lame.

15 miles not 14 miles. Happy Runner 123. HOW DO I KNOW? Watch it.

a.m. 9.5 mile jog in 1:07:36--slow

p.m. 4 give or take easy

Trying to up the volume...and get over wimpishness weak legs..

Hahaha, wow. IDK what to say anymore, other than "it is what it is." :)

I have turned the corner. The foot has been good on recent runs. Today was 40min jog + 4x100m accels + 10min jog. The accles were faster, but it's strange to run quicker. Weird feeling. I am starting to feel like a runner again though. Soon I'll be doing 10x300m in 40sec. HAHAHAHAHA.... (That was a joke. Only 1 person at DYRT has ever claimed that.)

Yesterday I had my wife drop me at the bottom of Mt Alexander and then I ran up the road to the top. 41m45s to the summit cairn plus another 4mins jog back to the car. That's all uphill except for a 400m section 15mins into it. Pretty steep in places, worked at astrong tempo effort all the way.

Today I ventured out to the Tooborac forest and ran a solid fartlek 71mins on the steep trails. Mixed it up with some hill sprints and bounding and some fast downhill and flat running plus a few striders and even a little backward runs. Stopped for a pleasant 500m swim on the way home.

today: did my 2h46mins across southern Rome on bicycle path. Started out a little brisk, evened out in the middle, slowed down between 2/3 and 3/4 and finished strong last 3km. Overall, slower than intended pace but doing a 400m at the very end around the Caracalla track was a good sign. About 34km total in my old X country. Recovery well under way.

Great work, everybody! I popped out for 40 minutes at a very relaxed pace and was loving it. Beautiful weather and relatively quiet streets. Unfortunately it is still too early to hit the trails, but I hope to be far enough along on my comeback by that time to take advantage of them. Though I still don't envision returning to the point of doing 300s like I used to. Ha ha! (Wondering why our "friend" is now hot about my 300s and is no longer infatuated with 800s. Ha ha.)

Keep up the good work, all!

Sap is starting to run in the trees here.

Slogging through knee deep melting snow for hours on end has kept the will to run at bay for the moment.

Thanks to the doozie of a cold I inherited from the kids and Wife my nose is running freely.

It warms me a bit to hear from you guys in warmer climes, our turn is coming.

16.1 hilly miles in 1:50:38...felt loose

Today I did 75min easy + 4x100m-ish soft shoulder accels on an incline.

RD, if I could try to be serious with you for a moment - the 10x300 at 40 is posted, the 8x800 is deleted. You've never responded to all the questions raised about those sessions, and seriously Dude, they haven't all been raised by me. Let's stop the stupidity, both of us, eh? Can we?

Cheers

Skuj.

Dyrters All:

comeon, lets give Skuj, RD (and their handles) a hand of encouragement!

Come on handle RD! Go for it handle Skuj!

This last Skuj post is both constructively self-critical and conciliatory.

The economy is landsliding. Doomsayers thrive.

But you can prevail.

You. Can. Do. It.

Impossible. Is. Nothing.

LOL. LOL. LOL.

today: going for a shakeout anyminute now, with an LSD euphoria pervading my being. LOL LOL LOL.

I. Can. Be. Such. A. Flake. .....

touched the 40' mark for the first time......some minor stiffness in the Achilles/calf area at the start (a slight uphill), but a temporary reduction in velocity allowed this to pass....of course, any further reduction in velocity would have had me going backwards.....still, it's all good.....we'll see what today brings....

If you truly have PF, then you are asking for trouble with this kind of training. Consider reducing your volume by 25-75%, no fast stuff, and no hills/inclines.

Happy Anniversary to DYRT!! It was 1.5 years ago to this date that RD began this thread! Let's all celebrate with a long run!!! Woo hoo!!!

Sigh.....well, I'll try again sometime. :)

I understand your frustration. PF will do that to you. I'm sure if you take care of yourself and be patient, eventually you will be able to join in a long run. Put that anniversary long run on hold and use it as a carrot to get you through your stretching, icing, etc. Best of luck with your recovery.
