The Multitudinous Comeback Trail

The only bi-product of turf toe is no, to exercise and a healthy training regimen. Progress begins in the heart.

Another Year, Another Injury

I just endured a dance with turf toe and the wonderment of a stabbing pain in the front of the foot with every step. It is apparent that for each progression experienced, an equally debilitating event nets a zero gain or a loss. The frustration is raw and grating.

Post Turkey Day Status

Apparently the esoteric Kung-Pao chicken feast accompanied with gyoza proved to be the tonic for a trend of success. The perpetual healing of the navicular bone in the left foot was unable to thwart productivity.

Improvement is evident 1.48-1.52

Progression to a higher level

6 Reps of 225

Adrenaline Rain

Jogging through a perpetual pre-Thanksgiving monsoon, the tears from the sun and the onset of the droll winter harnessed in vituperative raindrops, a mile was reached in a solid effort of 4:36. Taking into account a massive hangover and the wet cement consistency of the surface optimism remains a viable ideal as momentum builds for tomorrow's circuit of tests.

The First Day 11-15-09

While not reaching into a bare cupboard, there exists ample room for improvement in strength, technique, and flexibility. Over the next two months due to increased training efforts, a trend of improvement shall become apparent. Hopefully.


A time of 1.53-1.58. Not a bad effort for the initial campaign.


Missed the ball completely. Heavy squats and cleans await.
