So, in theory I am “allowed” to start running again this weekend. The Podiatrist said I could give it a shot. This leaves me running in the “improper” shoes however, and my new (although still not what the podiatrist ordered – it…

Visit with the Podiatrist

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Robinson — 6 Comments

I’ve been quiet lately, as using an elliptical isn’t terribly interesting to write about. The only good thing I can say about it, is that I am catching up on my Battlestar Gallactica episodes. If I continue with how I have…

So, this isn’t a full review as I have had it less than a day – but my FootLog arrived yesterday! My first impression was the same as when I saw it online. It looks like a lego. But I have…

Injury free Running seminar at Binghamton University

Posted on March 12, 2012 by Robinson — 1 Comment

I find it difficult to believe that there are many runners out there that wouldn’t like to run “injury free.”. I especially think that any runner who pulled their calf muscle five times last year AND got shin splints that…

Back/bicep workout… 3 miles… And calf pain. :(

Posted on February 22, 2012 by Robinson — 1 Comment

So I got home from work last night, and headed in to my new “workout area” of the back room. I did a fairly good back workout, and finished up with the biceps. (I am thus far keeping with the…

Pose vs Chi running – or -When illness strikes the family, the foot does not strike the pavement, so lets do some research instead.

unfortunately on Tuesday, my daughter’s latest meal decided not to stay down and it continued on for about 24 hours. What this means, is my feet did not go out and strike the pavement. Even after my wife got home –…

So, ever since my long run in my marathon-training attempt, I have suffered from some shin splint pain on the left shin after a run. This week has been true to form, with the pain returning as my running has. …

A wonderful evening run, and a nice way to start the day.
