Did another 14 miles on the bike today. Then walked the 3 miles home from the gym. The feet are feeling fine, time to call the doctor for advice on what exercises to start.

Not that I will ever get to play like this but this is a great photo that I found on the web somewhere. Brings back many memories from the late seventies when we used to follow Aerosmith around from city to city in the Northeast. Worcester, Boston, Hartford, Providence, Springfield, etc.

Still no running and feet are a bit sore from a 3 mile walk yesterday afternoon. Did 14 miles on the bike Wednesday evening and felt great. Not sure if I will be able to run soon based on the discomfort from the walk. A bit disapointing. It does give me more time to practice guitar though. Maybe someday I will be able to play something coherent.

So as I can't run these days I did 12 miles on the bike last night. No issues with the feet.

This picture was taken in September of last year in the jungle of the Yucatan at the Coba Mayan site. They had started to uncover some recently found temples of sorts and this one was only about 30-40 feet high and easy to climb.

Beer

You can't be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.

Ok. I am currently recuperating from a fractured heel and both Plantars have been torn as well. This happened either leading up to the BAA half marathon or during the race, most likely before given that I ignore most pain and hope that it will go away.  I am guessing that I won't be running again until the end of January at the earliest. It has been 2 weeks since the diagnosis so I can start riding the stationary bike soon. More to come. The picture above is me on the right with Sergei, a great guy that I used to work with until I took a new job in July of 2011. I finished the 1/2 marathon in 2:10 while Sergei managed to clock in around 1:45. Bastard is 25 years my junior so I will give him that.
