It was a Halloween 10K and I was going with a minimalist costume. The costume also had cuffs btw. 😎

Appreciate it.  Don't sell yourself short. You're a tremendous slouch.  But in all seriousness a lot of my rides are with other cyclists. Drafting and such and that makes for easier faster miles. When you're feeling up to it id suggest checking out the local bike shop ride. Its kinda...

Yes but I'll have to wear it backwards so it doesn't effect my aerodynamics. 

My bad. Howdy, how ya doin boys? Hope you're all doin well.  But for real... I guess I might as well give you guys and update while I'm here. My foot is still not great but after about 2 1/2 years I've found a PT that seems like he's got me on the right track. I'm hopeful that I can actually...

hi

Bummer that you're giving up the running shoes but cycling is awesome. I'm sure the more you go "full cyclist" the more you'll enjoy it. Get some lycra and get after it! 

Been a long time boys... Update for me is that road cycling season is officially ovah and I've scheduled ankle surgery for the end of the end of September.  2 weeks in a walking boot and an additional 2-3 weeks recovery. Will this fix the nerve damage in my foot? Will I be able to run again...

Brutal group ride this morning. Nice steady 25 mph pace out with a slight tailwind coming back with a headwind and a bunch of surges to 30 mph and beyond. Guys dropping left and right. My cardio is probably the best it's ever been and that kept me getting dropped but my legs were trashed. Felt...

I've always hated swimming. Probably because I'm so bad at it. But if my foot ever heals, I'm going to need to tolerate it because I'm definitely going to do a tri. 

I miss races. I miss competing. Miss my buddies/gals that still run. I miss the beers after. Tho, I would say the biggest advantage of running is that you can basically do it anywhere. Going on vacation? Just bring your running shoes. It's impractical to bring a bike with you and dangerous to...

Thanks, buddy. Well, will say that after about 6 months of riding, I'm fairly comfortable at 20-23 mph without the aide of drafting. Typically, thou solo rides are usually super easy/recovery efforts because I'm trying to save my legs for the group ride which are like intense interval workouts...

Apples and oranges, my friend. I thought the same thing until I learned how to ride in a group and got the right equipment. I used to avg 17-18 riding around my hood years ago and I was blown away by the paces guys did during group rides. Drafting is massive. Once I figured it out, I was one of...

Oh yeah, would have been nice to not be forced to change. I wish I would have discovered it long before I got injured. I love running but one thing that I hated was I always felt like I was doing a balancing act to increase my training load and not get injured. In retrospect, I could have used...

Hey, fellas. Been a while hasn't it!? Figured I'd give you guys an update. Unfortunately there's not much change with my nerve damage/neuropathy in my right foot. I've had 2 steroid injections in my back to reduce the inflammation caused by my bulging L5 S1 disc. So far, no luck in helping my...

Well, that's the rub, ain't it? Incompetent refs trying to administer rules that are left open to interpretation. What could go wrong? 

So they've made the catch rule even more complicated and figured out how to throw more unnecessary flags? Bravo, NFL. I'm sure that will stop you from bleeding viewers. 

Yeah, I was gonna say. Surgery would definitely be the last resort. Most folks I know that have opted for surgery on their back have not gotten the results they hoped for...sometime they were worse.  Maybe focus on core (if you haven't already). Get that trunk as strong as you can and maybe...

So is there anything they can do to correct this disk? I hope something other than surgery. 

Yeah, it's a major bummer training for a marathon...being in PR crushing shape and never getting to the start line. This ain't the first time for me either. The difference is the old me would have tried to find another marathon. I'd have kept pushing it. But now I realize it's better to just...

Well, it feels like I'm trending in the right direction so I may get back on there next week or so. Yesterday I ran 2 miles on the treadmill and then hopped on the trainer for 40 min and then last night a ran 2 1/2 miles with my daughters run club. All in all my foot feels like it's at about...
