Completing, But Not Competing: Now I've Done It

Now I've Done It

The knee hurts pretty badly today. I did go to the gym and managed about 2.5 miles on the treadmill, doing a combination of a shuffle and the circular motion that I discovered yesterday. I've iced my knee, and am back on Aleve for awhile, and plan to stretch the ITB and hamstring like crazy. May even get the ultrasound unit back out. This is ridiculous. Stupid tight ITB. 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Feels like that's been my mantra for my entire running career.

About Me

Hello and welcome to my running blog! I'm a 40-something guy who has been running for a few years, and has found that it has become one of my passions in mid life. Because of my job, my runs are at all different times of day, both indoors and out, depending on what shift I'm working. One of my all-time favorite quotes is, "Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must. Just never give up," by Dean Karnazes. Another quote I love is "The more I run, the more I want to run," by George Sheehan.

In my spare time, I enjoy weather (my career), computers, PHP programming, staying fit, running (duh), yard work, coin collecting, TV, movies, music, surfing the Internet, following the Nebraska Cornhuskers (I'm from Omaha), spending time with my family, and just having fun!

Anyhow, I hope you enjoy my website! Thanks for stopping, and by the way, "Just Keep Running!"
