So I started running again this week. real slowly. starting from scratch. somethig is still definitely up with my musculature. I have these regular knots in my lower leg that are like a charlie horse, but real knot like. I have tried to work them out and will get on the tennis ball again to try to massage out the knot (try that one if you have scarred muscle tissue that you are having issue with). I just think that the re growth of damaged muscle from the Lyme is a tricky process. I don't find much info on line about athletes that have had Lyme. not too menay testamonials, etc. 

Any Lyme experts that need a case study read clearly. "Lyme disease recovering patient going to do Ironman Lake Placid".  Financial contributions accepted.  Find the grant and give me a stipend to have all of my daily rantings and test my blood.... :-) LOL

Any way, so the procedure a friend of mine mentioned to me is like 7:00minutes test run, 3:00 minutes walk. no problems,... repeat. Etc. I am adding a clock each run. each week, I add a minute to the test run, as well. I am only running a few times a week, but hopefully things will click in and I'll be able to just go about my business. The aerobic stuff is being maintained on the bike and at the pool.  Oh, I also started adding weights after bike rides and sometimes on their own....

There's the update.  Still looking at Phoenix. we'll see if by November I can run steady. It's all up from here.

Anyone see that movie We Are Marshall? Good film. What a story. The true stories are always the most motivating. At some point I'll detail the various life experiences that have occurred along this particular 7 or so year journey. Births, deaths, new apartments, new homes, new states, new jobs, and on and on....

Later,
