Born 1972 in north central Wisconsin

Married for 11 yrs to very supportive non-running wife. Two children : Fiona, 6 (in picture) and Elliott (2 yrs)

In high school, I was an slightly overweight , badly asthmatic J.V. cross country runner. I enjoyed being part of the team but never excelled. The summer after my freshman year in college I decided to run a marathon. 6 weeks later I ran a 3:11 at Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (1991) and I was hooked on long distance running where my asthma wasn't as much of a factor.

Run on the beach at sunrise. Wonderful breeze. Pushed elliott later in the morning to the light house and back.

Achilles sore. lots of massage and ice.

Took Elliott out again in the afternoon. When I got three miles out, my achilles and lower calf started complaining big time. I adjusted my stride - more leg lift and less toe-off. I was able to keep going but it kept hurting the entire way back. I may be due for some time off to heal this thing before it gets much worse. I've had several good weeks of mileage in a row so I wouldn't lose much to have an easy week.

Nope. Won't be back in town until Sunday. I hate to miss that one. I laid out the course for the Coons.

I thought there was some law against doing anything but just resting and relaxing at the beach!

Eric,

I found the exercises in this study to be very effective in minimizing my chronic achilles tendonitis.

Thanks Jim. Good article. I'll have to give it a try. Not sure if I have tendinitis or a strain.

Kathy, they just repealed the "no-relaxing" ban in Florida. So I don't have to veg in secret.
