Getting back on da SLOWerr Road
After two months of on and mostly OFF the road, I am back to running! The behind knee pain is still around but I have succumbed to the fact that it might just be like that for a while. I am not training for any 100 at this time I am just trying to maintain my fitness.
Past 4 days I averaged 5 - 6 miles per run at a 10 - 12 min pace. This is manageable and by running again it helps keep my sanity - lol and keeps my weight steady for the upcoming HOLIDAY Season. (Yes that was a pillow under the shirt from my Halloween pic but if I don't run and continue eating Mini- Wafers like the
Cookie Monster this could be a reality very, very soon - lol)
Hopefully the shorter slow runs (umm I think it's actually called Jogging-LOL) will still give my leg a chance to heal up some more so I can go on longer treks but for now I am HAPPY to be on the road and treadmill again.
I missed it!

Bob,
I hope your knee gets better soon. It's great you're back out on the road. Thanks for posting, your posts always make me smile.

That road to recovery is awfully congested these days, isn't it? Make sure you leave some room for me as I hobble alongside you. Jogging.
Formula for recovery....Beer + Online Poker - Running = Recovery. :)
Get better soon.
Glad to hear you are back at it. Take it slow and stay healthy.
After my ride to Austin I finally had to tell my body that NO I am not going to have another hamburger. Not riding 350 miles in one week makes a difference in what you should eat. LOL
Try to hold it together and you will be back to the trails very soon for an amazing 2010. :)
Not running sucks! Glad to hear you're back out on the road. Hope you're fully recovered soon!
I feel ya Bob. Not even a twin lobster special can help. Its only been a few days with more to come and I am going nuts. TonyP is probably right but I may give xtraining a shot tomorrow. When r u coming to NY?
Bob glad you're back running. and boy do i know about inactivity and eating.:)
Glad to see you are back at it Bob. Hope everything starts to roll better for you. (Plus you don't want that picture to end up coming back to haunt you LOL!!)
Nice to see that you are back running Bob.
Happy Trainings!
Keep up the great work. Winter miles make summer smiles :)

Injuries really suck – Glad to see you are working it out because I want to see you get that sub 24 in 2010. I took 6 weeks off last summer and now feel stronger then ever. RICE, beer, stretch, and hit the weights to strengthen the area.
Yeah, just take it easy for now and enjoy your new status "jogger".
You'll be back kicking ass soon enough:-)
Injuries are awful. Continue to get better and take care of that knee pit.
HEY BOB! I am glad to hear that you are taking it easy and HEALING. Too bad I am not there to run with you because I think now you are running, er, jogging more of MY pace!!! Take care of yourself so you can be strong in the next race.
Being injured does stink.
I hope you recover quickly. Keep patient and you'll get back to where you want to be~!
Here is my blog! I have had issue with piriformis syndrome a couple of times this year. What a pain in the #$@!

Everyone is injured right now.
Hope you heal soon.
I can feel your pain brotha' ! Had knee surgery a few months back and am SO eager to get back to training for ultras. Thanks for your positive attitude! Jen
I thought I recognized the South Florida beach architecture in one of your photos. I grew up in Miami but live in S. Cal. now. Lots of great hills to train on here. Come join us! Jen
