Today was goodbye day. Dramatic indeed, but it is okay. A little bit more normalcy (I hope); although none of this is due to my choosing. Still, I said farewell. Not as had dreamed it would be, but I am off and starting new - again. Florida all of the great and all of the not so great, is over. It is time to bring my recovery to its highest heights.<br />
<b>Wednesday</b><br />
23 days left in December/2015 as of right now I have logged 2,816.65 running miles for the year. Although I didn't start the year with this new goal of 3000+ for 2015, if I average 7.97 miles per day (my yearly average is well over 8), I will reach 3000 logged running miles (or 8.2 miles per day or a solid 57 mile per week average - including rest days).<br />

<b>Monday</b><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">The good news is that I am finally sure that I cannot win back the love of Mimi. I feel okay about it for the first time too. I am not pleased about how it happened and may never know why; and it doesn't seem to make as much of a difference anymore. I am committed to not embarrassing myself anymore and moving on. As for the girl, the distance may be for always as far as I can tell and I am not much of a swimmer; floating away. Sure I am typing these words as a tool of coping. But the truth is, I feel fine and things are looking good moving ahead. I have most of the week left in Deerfield Beach and my long lost sister, Lisa is here and that is enough. When I get back to Denver, Dick Dime 2.0 will be unleashed and it is going to be most excellent.</span><br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">Well I got a run in today. It feels good to be back on track. Actually, the weather was pleasant and my 12 run was decent. It felt more pleasant than my memory has allowed. Looks like I have to occupy my time in Deerfield Beach for my remaining days in Florida (through Saturday). I guess this week is best summarized with a <b>Joy Division</b> song lyric: </span></span><span style="color: #474747; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; line-height: 30px;"><br /></span><br />

<b style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">Saturday</b><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">Flying to South Florida today - I couldn't enter the West Palm Marathon and since I didn't even get my rental car until about 1 am - racing would have been a bad idea anyway. I ended up going to IHOP and drinking coffee and then tried to sleep a bit in the car.</span><br />
<b style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">Thursday</b><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">I do not know if this qualifies or not, but I am happy to report that I am running strong despite my 'running injury' - a broken heart.</span><br />
<b style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;">Monday<br /><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 19.32px;">My running update for November. Despite 6 rest days, I still managed 291.1 total running miles; or an average of 12.13 miles every time I laced up my sneakers. Already in 2015, I have logged my most miles for one year, 2,748.59.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;"><b>Sunday</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">This week was a roller-coaster of emotions for sure. I won't bore my friends with the death of my lost love. I have already taken you there. Instead, let me brag about my running. Despite two rest days this week, I have still managed 79 miles of running. In addition, I am beginning to feel stronger. I am not there yet, but this 50 year old man is going to get his legs back. November is going to be around 280+ miles. If I run a bit less in December, I will finish the the year of 2015 with 3,000 logged miles. A first for me, pre or post, traumatic brain injury. I am proud of my continued effort to make a 100% return to athletic form post injury; and past the ripe old age of 50. Why does it matter? Because it is a symbol of recovery for me. Of course my cognitive ability matters most, but I do not have a measurable bench mark for that part of my recovery. I have always judged myself athletically and even now, with all of my physical and mental deficits, I still do. :-) </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">-</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">Well, time to go run. Stay tuned and see if I can maintain my pace through the Christmas holiday. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and has a fantastic Christmas season. Until next week: when your legs get tired, run with your heart. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;"><b><br /></b></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;"><b>Monday</b></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">Some good news to share. Sorry in advance for the gratuitous cheese. Last year I logged a record number of running miles, 2,670.88. Today I set a new record on my sloppy 20 miler. As of today I have logged 2,681.66 miles so far in 2015. This pleases me. Since my traumatic brain injury I have worked harder than I ever had before. In fact, for 3 years in a row I have logged 2000+ miles. In my pre-injury 'fast' days' I probably maxed out at around 1000 running miles per year. It is true I am still not the athlete that I was, but in my defense, I am a 50 year old man trying to rebuild a broken brain and body. I work hard. I am proud of my continued chase of the lost runner formerly known as me. This is important to me. Thanks.</span></span><br />

Common difficulties after a traumatic brain injury. Many people have difficulties with speaking, listening or being aware of other people’s non-verbal communication. These difficulties can include problems with talking and writing; or with understanding what they are reading, or what someone is saying. Some people also find it difficult to have a conversation in a group and may get restless, or not realize that they are interrupting other people. Of course, this can lead to problems and means that their family, work colleagues, and friends may need to show them patience and understanding.</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 18.2px;"><br />I am happy with my running this year so far. After tomorrows run, I will have eclipsed last years logged total of 2670.88 mi logged. I think I am finally starting to shed some of that stubborn post TBI weight gain. My running is more fluid and a bit faster in general. I haven't been on a scale in months but my gut is smaller and my clothes are fitting looser. I will tell you what, it has been difficult to lose the weight. I never even thought about it before the accident, but post has been a nightmare. Even though I ran and ran, the fat just stuck to me. Anyway, my diligence is beginning to pay off. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">Maybe it really is time for me to start anew. I am happy, really. Despite last weeks devastation, I am thrilled to be back home in Colorado and I feel like things are really going to take shape for me here. I have friends (men and woman) and I will find a new soul-mate too. Life is simply, so much better here - in Colorado. Florida gets a bad rap and the truth is, it deserves it. In my honest opinion, the beaches are phenomenal but the scenery of the landscape is little more than a strip mall with self centered 'look at me' types all over the place. Did I mention how intolerable the humidity is? No? No relief even at night. Screw it, the one I love is gone and so am I. So it goes...</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;"><b>Saturday</b><br />I am doing okay - I have accept the fact that it is now alone time - again. I will march on and figure it out. I really loved Mimi (and I still do), but it I cannot change this course. It is clear that I am going to have to move on without a girl that will always occupy a warm place in my heart.<br />-<br />Mimi and I shared over four extremely important years together. We did amazing things. We raced, became vegans, traveled, went to concerts and loved. To me it was perfect. My real point is this, Mimi entered my life shortly after my release from months of hospitalization for traumatic brain injury. I probably never saw her frustration. Without her, I really do not think that I would have made the progress in my recovery that I have. It must have been difficult for her. I get that she is tired. I am sad for me. I am sad for us. I don't believe in much but I believed in our TEAM. I only desire a super fantastic future for her and her family; of whom my love remains. I hope and know that eventually this pain that burns my insides will subside. It has to.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">With that, I will end my public cry-fest and talk about the positive.<br />I have been looking for a tiny mountain house and have found a few really cool places. Julia is a snap agent and has been working very hard and we are getting close!<br />-<br />Training wise, things are going pretty good. Despite a shitty week forcing two unscheduled rest days, I still managed 70.14 miles of running; that included 2 workouts over 20 miles each.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">Well this has been a horrible week for me. My training sucks because I cannot focus.

Although the accident in which I suffered a traumatic brain injury is now about 6 years past; relative to TBI - it has been barely a sliver of time. Still, as I assess my progress, I am proud; thrilled that my physical improvement (running as a measure), has slowly improved to the point that I am beginning to see some pre-injury speed return. Sure, I am 50 years old now and it is unlikely that I have the same athletic ability; yet I am stubborn, relentless and aspire to be better</span></span></span><span style="background-color: #fefdfa;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18.2px;">.

I may have set a record for rest days without an injury. This cross-country move to Colorado has taken a lot out of me (I am still homeless too); and now I have a chest cold that is wiping me out. I have hopes to get back on track in life and training matters. </span></span></span><br />

It was a long drive from South Florida, but I am settling in an I know moving back makes sense. The bad, my training has suffered. Last week was basically a rest week as I really didn't get any training in, save yesterday - the only day that I found time to run. I will be happy to settle into a new place and find some normalcy. I am uneasy but thankful for the couch that I am currently sleeping on. Hopefully some positive news will be heard this week in regards to the tiny house that I found in Leadville. Regardless, my intentions are to not let my training continue to suffer.</span></span><br />

I do not know when I will learn, but over the last 30 days I have been to Colorado twice. When I used to live hear, I ran the hills all of the time and with no issues. Unfortunately, on both trips I promptly went for hard up and down mountain trail runs and on both occasions I have wrecked my quads. This has caused me to miss a lot of training. I need to get settled and adapt. I am excited, albeit a bit disappointed in myself.<br />

I had to make a bed out of a few pillows as I loaded my bed into the POD. It is going to be picked up around 1:00 today so I don't have much to do besides loading the last few boxes and to prepare the house for its last inspection. Hopefully, I will start my travels back to Colorado tomorrow. I am feeling mixed </span>feelings; leaving my girl and the life that we have built is really sad. We have dated long distance before so we can do this. I am excited about building a life in Colorado but there is so much uncertainty. I feel strong and capable of success. I have come a long way. In regards to managing my life and the difficulties related to living with a traumatic brain injury. I know that it is now time to return home. To grow.</span><br />

I probably talk about religion too much. But sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the intolerable influx of God-speak funneled into my head day after day. It is refreshing when an entertainment icon tells the people cold hard facts.</div>

I have convicted feelings about the state of our nation. Unfortunately, the Donald Trump movement says more about the folks who make up the American electorate than it does about this born rich racist narcissist. The frightening thing is, The Donald is a viable candidate and could become our nations next president. I know, it is horrifying to imagine; but not far-fetched - we are the people who elected (at least once) George W. Bush. I cringe and the world is not laughing at us because they are equally frightened.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Florida. I have lived here for over 3 very good years. I am sure that my cognitive development has accelerated tremendously during my stay in the SoFla swamp. The years immediately following my accident were challenging and due to my new limitations - mentally and physically - I struggled. I could not embrace my new life; nor acknowledge the new me. Instead, all of the immediate reminders/comparisons of who I was prior to my traumatic brain injury flooded my environment and fueled my denial. This was an overwhelming limiter and I was not really improving. I don't think that I was depressed, but I was a mental wanderer. Thankfully, I found Mimi (or she found me) and we began dating long-distance; ultimately I moved to South Florida so that we could be closer. The years that followed have too many specific benchmarks to list here, but I am grateful. Now, it is time to go home. In the next few days I will, finish packing my moving POD, drive back to Colorado and then embark on phase 3 of the Dick Dime restoration.</span><br />

And my trip to Colorado is winding to a halt. I had a great time despite my lack of running. I probably needed some rest anyway and now I am anxious to get back to my typically aggressive training schedule. In a few weeks I will be moving to the high mountains. I do not yet know where I will be living as the location details are still uncertain; but I am confident that things will fall into place. Once I return to Florida I will begin packing and preparing for my return.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #4d4d4d; font-weight: normal; line-height: 20px;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Wow that was hard, slow and extremely wobbly. The downhill of Green Mountain destroyed this flat lander's quads a couple of days ago. Even with multiple rest days, I struggled. I probably should not have attempted to run today. I fly back to Florida tomorrow so it will be another rest day. Hopefully when I move to Colorado next month, my legs will adapt to the pounding of the mountains. They will, when I lived here a few years ago, it was never a problem. Still, I really wanted to get more running in on this trip. So it goes.</span></span></div>

I'm a little bit frustrated today. The primary purpose of my Colorado trip was to find a place to live. I spent two full days looking at properties. I found a nice agent to show me around and we found lots of affordable properties to buy. I did find one that I particularly liked in the hills on 2.5 acres. I do not know if I will be able to finagle the buy or not, but I am trying. The thing is, regardless, I will have about 2 weeks to move once I get back to Florida and my time will be primarily dedicated to packing. It is weird because I do not have a place to call home and will not before I journey back. Randomness and chaos is the story of Dick Dime. Also, I wanted to do a lot of trail running while in Colorado. I did run Green Mountain and it was awesome. Unfortunately, the down hills have wrecked my quads and I have taken 2 consecutive rest days and today will most likely be my 3rd. I have become a flat-lander and I am paying the price. I am staying positive and I know things will work out. Still...</div>

This time tomorrow morning I will be on an airplane for my visit to Colorado. I will be there for a week and I can't wait to see my daughter, Nico and my grand-daughter Mo. Of course I will make time to see as many of my friends as possible. The primary purpose of this trip however, is to find a place to call home. At the end of August, I am moving back to Colorado. I had a nice 3+ year escape to Florida. So many great things have happened; I return a much improved survivor of traumatic brain injury.</div>

I have trained hard and later this week I will have logged 2000 miles running for the 3rd straight year (this year the earliest despite not having The Leadville 100 on my schedule). I still have a lot of work to do if I ever want to be a comparable athlete to the one that I left behind in August of 2009. It is much more challenging post TBI. Even though I don't think that I ever ran more than 1000 miles in a single year before the accident, I was a much faster runner. I am excited to report that my progress has been measurable and I can anticipate significant improvements to come. Simply put, I cannot wait to return.</div>

Unfortunately I will be moving without my girlfriend and team-mate, Mimi. I know that she still loves me as I love her. As a wise man once said, it remains to be seen. As for me, I believe the distance will be a minor obstacle and our relationship will remain secure, limitless. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;">First run in my new running watch today. I had to replace my Garmin 910XT (very expensive); so I am trying the Garmin Forerunner 620. It appears to be an excellent running watch with many fantastic metrics. Still, I struggle with new devices and generally experience a learning curve. Today was not any different; but the watch seems to have worked in spite of my ignorance. Perhaps I will read the manual now.</span></div>

Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit.<br />
EARTHLINGS is a 2005 documentary film about humanity's use of animals as pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and for scientific research. The film is narrated by Joaquin Phoenix, features music by Moby, was directed by Shaun Monson, and was co-produced by Maggie Q, all of whom are practicing vegans.<br />
"Narrated by Academy Award Nominee Joaquin Phoenix and featuring music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby, EARTHLINGS is a documentary film about humankind's complete economic dependence on animals raised for pets, food, clothing, entertainment and scientific research. Using hidden cameras and never-before-seen footage, EARTHLINGS chronicles the day-to-day practices of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative, controversial and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals and human economic interests."</div>

<div itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
“Tonight really is an historic night,” said Sanders. “To the best of our knowledge, there has never been a political online organizing event this early in the campaign which involved 100,000 people in 3,500 locations in every state in the United States of America. And that’s pretty impressive."</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: proxima-nova, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 22px; padding: 0px;">
While those numbers could not be independently verified, there was a good deal of online chatter leading up to the live broadcast.</div>

The events were held in bars, backyards and basements. The number of people who RSVP'd to each ranged from four to hundreds of people. A few hundred people gathered at a downtown bar in New York City on 4th Avenue in what was hailed as one of the largest gatherings. Prior to Sanders' speech the crowd shouted out the reasons they were supporting Sanders, citing paid family leave, free college and overturning Citizens United.</div>

<b>Sunday</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The swamp of Florida has been very good to me for the last 3.5 years and I have accomplished a lot here. I had a great life with Mimi. We trained, traveled and raced a lot. My post traumatic brain injury continued to create difficulties for me; although my determined focus and creative compensatory adaptations have allowed me to evolve in many positive ways. My comparative tendency has relaxed. I am still struggling with this, but I do not compare the 'new me' with the old me as much. I have begun to judge myself anew instead of by my pre-TBI standards. This has helped me tremendously as I can take pride in my new accomplishments and race times and no longer think that I suck (as I did - repeatedly). Seriously, this was a huge problem in my recovery. For the most part I have stopped. I still long to return to the standard of sub 3 hour marathon times, but I don't judge my post injury best of 3:16 poorly (I have posted 2 consecutive 3:16 times); a huge improvement over where I was - at a post injury marathon time of around 3:45. I am now starting to believe that I can get these 50 year old legs to move faster still. Sub 3? Perhaps. Does it matter? No.</div>
-<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yeah, I am moving back to Colorado and I am coming back stronger, healthier and faster too. I am returning as a vegan. This change (3+ years) has been profound to say the least. I will definitely be plant-powered so you are all forewarned.</div>
-<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Sadly, I will be leaving the world of my love, Mimi. I am a dreamer, so I do not believe that this will be the end for us but a new beginning. We both have work to do. Her life and responsibility is here in Florida. My challenges and desires are in Colorado. Mimi has family here and I have family there. I have my daughter, Nico Berlin and grand-daughter, Margaux Juniper to return to and grow with and this thrills me immensely. It is going to be awesome! Time will tell, but I think that Mimi and I will grow closer despite the miles between us. So, Just a little over a month to go before I say good-bye to the swamp and hello to the hills.</div>

What amazes me, frankly, are the crowds. Not since Robert F.
Kennedy sought the Democratic nomination in 1968 has a candidate for the
nomination of either party generated such large numbers of people eager to see
and listen to him. None in living memory has summoned such crowds this early,
before the nominating season even begins. Even Sanders' advisers are amazed (I
spoke with one this morning who said they never expected this kind of
response).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What's the explanation? It's not his sense of humor. It's
not his youth. He isn't a demagogue, bashing immigrants or pandering to hatred
and bigotry. It's that he's telling Americans the unvarnished truth about what
has happened to our economy and our democracy, and he is posing real solutions.
And it seems that America is ready to listen.<o:p></o:p></div>

Team memories... The past three years have been an amazing run in the swamp of south Florida. Love is great when you are on team. Still, leaving grows a melancholy; sour reminders are everywhere. I will be okay. Yep. Colorado is waiting and I am looking forward to reconnecting with my family, friends and the region that I call home. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
In respect to my traumatic brain injury, Florida has been good for me. I think that initially, returning to life in Colorado (post TBI) added a lot of pressure in regards to my recovery; in that because I did not have the same capabilities (athletically and vocationally), a growing self-doubt and depression built within me. Moving to Florida was new and separated me, from me, as I remembered me. I had a new anonymity of sort. A new beginning. And finally, I think I am ready to return.</div>

The cool thing is that Margaux (or Mo is she is called) and Nico will be close by and I can watch her grow and maybe teach her how to snowboard as I did her mom when she was 3. I miss the mountains, the weather and all of the groovy people that live there. I am losing a life here in SoFla (mostly Mimi that is); hopefully things become normal between us again. Time will tell. I am not really sure what to expect when I return to Colorado. I would like to buy a tiny house in the mountains and train and possibly work - as in a JOB - again. I will keep this blog site updated and it will certainly evolve as will I. Stay tuned. Things will probably become interesting as my journey continues.</div>

It looks like I will be leaving Florida in about 7 weeks or so. I did not see it coming, but this era of my life is coming to a close; that is all I have to say about that. On a positive note, I will be escaping the swamp of Florida and returning to the Colorado mountain air. I may try to buy a small house or condo in Leadville and find a sense of balance in my life, continue striving to improve health-wise and athletically. It has been a fine 3 year run in Florida and I feel enormous loss. I am sad. I have always been a wandering lost-boy - so I will rebound. This is what I do - The J. Geils band sad it best: <span style="background-color: white; color: #292929; line-height: 24px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Love stinks yeah, yeah</span></span></div>

Still don't know what I was waiting for<br />
And my time was running wild<br />
A million dead-end streets and<br />
Every time I thought I'd got it made<br />
It seemed the taste was not so sweet<br />
So I turned myself to face me<br />
But I've never caught a glimpse<br />
Of how the others must see the faker<br />
I'm much too fast to take that test</div>

Ooo yeah<br />
I watch the ripples change their size<br />
But never leave the stream<br />
Of warm impermanence and<br />
So the days float through my eyes<br />
But still the days seem the same<br />
And these children that you spit on<br />
As they…<br />

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Mimi and I celebrated Independence Day at Richard Nixon's house last night. I got pretty drunk and fell asleep sitting at the picnic table. We slept it off and then drove home to find that are dogs were out of the yard and partying throughout the neighborhood. Thank goodness, we found them before something unspeakable happened. I got up late this morning because I love to run in the hottest part of South Florida mornings. It went okay considering last Sunday I was forced to walk due to this incessant heat/humidity. I was demoralized by the experience; and I was recovering form severe road rash due to my fall the previous week. I reevaluated my training and I backed off the pace and reduced my daily distances and I think that I am coming back around. Two steps forward and one step backwards is how I typically do it.</span></span></div>

It hasn't happened yet, but soon the mainstream media (despite their obvious monetary bias), will be forced to say his name less the term, 'fringe'. I prefer the Sanders coined candidacy description: REVOLUTIONARY. Bernie Sanders can win the 2016 presidential election and the country can embrace real change that will benefit all citizens and not just the people who can afford to buy our democracy (Koch Brothers, etc.). Do it, Bernie!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">,, </span></span></span><br />

<h3 style="background-color: #fefdfa; margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I have been struggling since last Wednesday - my fall really set me back; I suffered lingering pain all week. I must have hit my rib cage on something because my ribs really have been in a state of limiting growls all week (as well as</span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> the road rash to my knees and elbows). I have been able to bicycle a few times after a full rest day and Saturday's ride was with a lot less pain. I have really wanted to run, but I am utilizing this time to rest my running sticks fully. Not to mention I have also been nursing a bruised running sole on my right foot. I think today will be my first run since my tumble. </span></span></span></span></h3>

I started out running but was walking in less than a hundred feet. I ended up walking the first 2.5 miles and then jogged the last 3 miles. My last mile was in 8:00 - so I am encouraged. </span></span></span></div>
