Still able to walk down stairs!


It sounds like such a simple thing! Yesterday, I could feel my plantar faciitis bothering me still, but the pain was much, much lower than the previous two.  This of course meant I was game to try running again.  I

And on the 7th (and 8th) day, he rested..


It seemed an obvious move to take the day I could barely move my calves as a rest day.  The following day, it seems that tightness had moved down my ankle and into my foot.  My Plantar Faciitis was REALLY letting

Posting from a tablet about a to-sore-to-run rest day


I will admit that I had thought I was being careful, but did have my doubts that I was.  Even while limiting myself to 2 1/2 miles, I have had consistently sore muscles.  Already getting close to an  eight minute

The belt on the treadmill goes round and round.


The first thing I want to say is thank you to all those who have served in the armed forces of the United States of America.  Without your sacrifices, your risking of your life/limbs/sanity and missing countless family events that

WOOO HOOOO!!!!!   Apparently the post-election hangover, compounded by a post-stay-up-late-making-sure-your-son-does-2-weeks-of-homework-at-once, hits pretty hard!

Through Rain and Sleet and Snow and Political Hangovers…


So, I’m a political junkie. With help from Google and NPR (Washington DC‘s WAMU is a fantastic station!)  I have stayed up on the political scenery, both nationally and locally, as well as I possibly could.  I was also very scared

Hanging at the parents


This weekend we headed up to see the loved ones we left behind in NY. We came up Friday evening with the goal of seeing my wife’s BFF (and our kitties that now live at their house.). The fun part

Friday’s Ramblings… Or why its always nice to give clean pants to a neighbor’s child after a dog throws up on them.


So its friday.. I draaaaaaaaaagged myself out of bed this morning (notice all the “a”s?  It was that hard to do..) and headed out to run.  The first thing I have to say, is I have completely forgotten how to dress

The streets, without the pitterpatter of little ghouls and goblins.


Ghouls and Goblins.. I don’t think anyone actually dresses up as ghouls or goblins anymore.  I know mine went as a Witch (though half way through she took of her hat and proclaimed herself to be a vampire) and a
