Not being one to believe much in coincidences, I give much of the credit to my being able to compete in the NC Senior Games the past two days to the drills you recommended a few weeks ago.  Recovery began within three days of beginning those drills, and I ran all of my events virtually pain free.  Race report here:  NC Senior Games Race Report (warning - too long)

Bluesky - congrats! Thanks for the report, very inspiring for those of us hoping to keep it going for a long time.
