an amazing likeness
Today I set out and finished a run. 3 miles, slowly, but non-stop jogging, real work. I have logged my first run of 2010. 158 days since coming to face down in the road.
My sincere thanks to all here at RA who have 'listened' to my story with genuine concern and encouragement.
Acceptable at a dance, invaluable in a shipwreck.

Not at it at all.

When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
My Sincere thanks to all for letting crow a bit about it !
Once I could stand, I decided to just try to keep moving for 1 hour a day. What's been amazing is how early on, that 1 hour meant maybe a trip to the end of the street and back, followed by 8 hours of sleep and pain. Today, that 1 hour is still not very far, but its a heck of a lot less pain and is steady 20 - 25 miles / week.
Reading my diary of notes from those early days is like trip to a distant place at times, at others it's as near as this morning. It would take an hour just get out of bed and get shoes and clothes on to walk to the end of the street and back. I do not miss those days.
Good to see you back running.
One quick 3 mile jog around may be a start, but what a long journey I have to go to get back to calling myself a "runner". Man, oh man, I am sore today.
But I actually did think of you yesterday while jogging, in between muttering "ouch...owe...son of a beech...owe..", reflecting on the my last run before this one (back in Oct), when I was pretty sure I'd be able to hang with you and LTrain for the 1/2 and be there at the end. As I struggled along, my thought was "...you are a freakin' long way from those times bud...".
"...you are a freakin' long way from those times bud...".
yea, but you are on your feet. Thats gotta be worth a lot.

MT, I remember reading about your accident.
Congrats on the 3 miles! I'm sure all the cross training you've been doing has helped your recovery and kept you fit.
Before you know it you'll be back logging lots and lots of miles!
How about a non running victory?
I was in Madison, WI this week and secured some New Glarus Brewing Company beers!
Cherry Stout, Stone Soup and Spotted Cow!
Oh, and the first of the season Bell's Oberon.
I look my best blurry!
Consistently Slow
Run until the trail runs out.

Dreamless and I set a new PR today at the Ole' 5K 21:11
Looks like a PR for big freaking hats, if that's what you mean. Hope a big wind doesn't come along soon...
