It has been a long road which has taken a much greater toll on my body than I thought or hoped for. Constant muscle fatigue in my legs, particularly calves, and I haven't even started running yet!

Today I signed on with a Physical Therapist ... seems to be knowledgeable and a good guy ... we talked about my goals, more specifically running a BQ in October . He told me to walk 2 miles a day and come back on Tuesday where he would set me up on a workout routine, which I can do at the local Y.

I will probably see him twice per week for a month, as he is also doing elecrical stimulation for the neuropathy in my feet. So I walked my 2 miles, Rockport mile: 13:53 / Recovery Mile: 18:30

Good to see you back! Just getting caught up - sounds like you have been through the wringer. Sounds like you'll be ok though?

I love that your already thinking about the next BQ.

Thanks for the update! I have seen my share of physical therapists and chiropractic help over the past 2 years - if you have a good guy, he'll help! Good luck getting the muscle strength back, once you do muscle memory is a nice thing!

I'm a big fan of those guys. Welcome back.

Speedy recovery JG. I'm looking forward to running with you again!

Yeah Joe, I will be ok, I am in remission... let's hope for a long time.

Progress ... ran 2 miles today.
