4:30am 84F.  Two loops around Lost Lake, 8:05 AP (whoops).  Can't seem to quiet down my legs, who have missed running; I intended to do the first week back at 9:00 pace but I don't think it's doing any damage at 8.  I even missed the creepiness of running Lost Lake in the dark - the Arab guy wailing out morning prayer from the mosque loudspeakers on the other side of the wall, the bombed out buildings...feels like I'm in an Indiana Jones movie.

Injury-wise, I'm pretty happy.  Feels like there's no pain where the tendon is; the only oddball thing is that I feel like maybe I'm unconsciously landing a little differently on my foot.  The effect makes it feel like my right shoe has half the sole of the left and doesn't absorb as much.  But I'm being picky, it's a minor thing to complain about.

Horrible football weekend though with Texas (NCAA) and Houston (NFL) losing.

I often find that when I have recovered from an injury, for the first week of running on it, I have developed hypersensitivity when in reality it is nowhere near as bad as I think.

Should be ok if there is no pain and no reaction afterwards

Are you keeping in touch with Antonio and Pete? They need someone to nag them about Wednesdays.

Chris - thanks, good to know it's not just me.

Mike - I'm planning on pinging them for a run pretty soon, once I get settled in with 6-8 mile runs in a week or so.

Wow that does sound like a wild background to run too! So glad things are looking good! I agree with Chris on coming back--you always feel oversensitive and weird about the injured area.

April, yes, I'm starting to feel a little relieved about my foot at last. Today I didn't really pay attention to it and barely noticed a difference.

Indiana Jones, huh? Just make sure you've got enough in the tank and legs if the big boulder comes after ya. Oh, and if you start to feel "funny" on your run, check your neck. You may have a poisoned dart in it.

Hang in there, Joe. It will come back soon enough. You don't lose as much as you think you do (based on Jack Daniel's book).

I swear sometimes on the loudspeaker they are chanting KALI MA...KALI MA. Like when he's about to pull the guy's heart out of his chest. Somehow I don't think that's Islam though.
