Well it has been ages since I blogged. Fort those who may remember me, in January 2011 (yes it has been over a year) I had the first of three (January 31, April 8, and August 26) Fat/PRP injections into my left achilles tendon.
On Monday of this week I did another follow-up visit with my physician. As background, I will say that I have finally started to feel quite a bit better. When I wake up most mornings the pain/stiffness is much more minimal than it has been now for almost two years. I even went to the outdoor retailer convention where I got a pair of black Altra Instinct with the hopes that I might soon be cleared to run again. However, although I continue to make progress as confirmed on the ultrasound images, my achilles is still painful to the touch, and I have not been cleared to run. Of course, I could just run through the discomfort and pain, but that's what caused the damage in the first place. Because my goal is to actually regenerate the achilles tendon and heal, it seems likely that I will lose another season of running.
p.m. 60 minutes elliptical.

You and Peyton Manning should go bowling! Good luck with the achilles.
From Rob on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 12:31:47 from 72.254.39.13
Hey Pauls back. Hurray!! I thought they were suppose to inject the fat into your achilles?
From Rob Murphy on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 12:56:22 from 205.127.70.66
You've gained a couple pounds.
Good to hear from you Paul. I'm sending positive thoughts out to your achilles.
From Rhett on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 13:01:35 from 74.41.249.102
Welcome back Paul. Sorry to hear you are still not cleared for running, but at least you are making progess. Are you still a cross training machine?

From Smooth on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 15:21:31 from 75.162.95.99
Welcome back! although you've never really gone away, you have been greatly missed! Thanks for the update!
So sorry to hear that you haven't been cleared to run. You are super patient!!! I am very proud of you! Sending positive healing vibes to your achilles that it will regenerate well and back to 100% soon. Have you been able to do other exercise?
From Burt on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 15:23:57 from 174.254.23.219
Hey Paul. I'm so glad you're back. When you left I tried to take your place as the coolest blogger, but I failed miserably. I was exposed for the fraud that I am. Now I can go back to be the dorky blogger I was when I first joined.

Nice to see some signs of life from you Mr chubby boy Paul. I really hope that achilles gets going with the regeneration and gets chubbier as well.
From Bec on Wed, Feb 01, 2012 at 18:21:31 from 68.206.133.141

Hey Paul, you almost look like me now! ;) ;) Why oh why does running have to give us so much torture to our hearts when we can't have it?! Stupid thing anyway. And another question...why does no other form of exercise else on earth feel like running?! Hang in there! :)

Interesting clips. Both made strategic errors in their decisions. The potential loss was far greater than the potential gain.
How are your achilles feeling?
From RivertonPaul on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 09:37:06 from 67.42.27.114
Andy, my achilles is improving, quite noticeably, but it is still tender to the touch so I'm not cleared to run.
From RAD on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 10:30:28 from 98.202.23.178
The way those men felt at the end of the clips? yeah, about describes how I feel today :) How'd you know? I guess I should just be glad that I didn't have to lose $1 million to feel this way!
From Smooth on Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 16:16:13 from 174.27.219.252
That's the nature of the game...taking risk. I always wonder about the *greed* factor in *Deal or No Deal*!
Hope your achilles continue to improve and you're cleared to run soon! :)
From Rhett on Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 17:01:04 from 170.215.58.122
Keep that achilles on the mend and heading in the right direction. Just think of all the wear and tear you are saving on your legs. Some day you will look back on this injury and be grateful that it has added 20 years to your running longevity.

My dad was Macgyver in once.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTWEh2mcdsg
My dad's the one actually riding the Jet Ski. Notice he is wearing a hat (he never sported a mullet) but the actor is sans hat. He did stunt work for other TV shows and movies in the 80s but Macgyver was the coolest. My dad still had the wood-grained ski when he died. I gave it to one of his Jet Ski friends..... Sorry to hijack, ramble, and reminisce on your blog Paul.

Kathie,
Si.
Tom (Lloyd),
I'm still not cleared to run because of the achilles. I've pretty much had to write off races for this year, although I do hope to get approval to run soon.
Teena,
Pilates is about an 8+.
Rob,
I should have been clever like you and pasted the Dali Lama into the pic.

From DaleG on Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 10:07:37 from 174.52.230.9
Sweet!!! I might have to check out that store since a certain someone at a certain running store in a city that starts with an S has treated me and my wife poorly 4 out of the last 5 times we've been there. The other time he wasn't there, so that doesn't count. I called him on it on Saturday and he denied it. But still, we don't want to go there anymore. Is that vague enough that I won't get in trouble? LOL

So what, I like Hall & Oates.
Found this not-so-classic video of their classic. My favorite part of these lyrics has always been: "Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away."
This is also inspiration for me to grow my hair out longer.

How exciting for your son!!!! :) :) :)
Do you all get to see him off at the airport?
From Smooth on Mon, Aug 13, 2012 at 17:22:13 from 71.219.147.142
Wow, three weeks went by fast!!!
They discouraged families going to the airport, right? It will be a bittersweet day for you and your wife! Hugs!

No airport, but we do get phone calls. David will call from Salt Lake in the morning, then during a layover from Atlanta.
From Rhett on Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 17:07:31 from 170.215.58.122
Very exciting Paul. You'll have to have him bring some IncaKola home with him from Peru. Maybe it will be your new Dew.
From Burt on Tue, Aug 14, 2012 at 17:46:38 from 72.223.86.148
We had a Peruvian neighbor that was quite fond of IncaKola. It's ok, but it's no Shasta.

Hope you had nice phone visitations with David. Did you talk to him en Espanol?
Rhett's comment is buena idea!!! :)

They had Inca Cola on my mission to Ecuador. I always thought it tasted like liquified bubble gum.
From Smooth on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 20:31:26 from 75.165.251.74
How is David doing?
From RivertonPaul on Tue, Aug 28, 2012 at 20:58:20 from 67.177.42.59

I used to eat lunch at El Chalan on 3rd West and 1500 South. They sold Inca Kola, though it looks like they are out of buisiness :(
But I'm sure there are other sources. I bet this place has it- http://www.pequenitamarket.com/ So head over to the barrio so you can do a long distance toast with some Inca! o chela o chelas ;)
From Teena Marie on Wed, Aug 29, 2012 at 14:57:01 from 67.2.124.188
Very cool website you have for David! :) I agree with Smooth, "WOW!!!" Seriously, his letters are awesome! (So ... did he get his writing talents from his dad or his mom??) :)
