running- no excuses
well as many of you know I tweaked my ankle on the BAK Achilles tendonitis or something like that. I tried to do my normal athletic injury regimen of a bit of ice, a handful of ibuprofen and three heaping bucketfuls of suckitupandtoughitout ( or generic.)
This did not work.
So basically I stopped running for a bit to let the ankle get back on board. Now it is hard to get back in to running. It has been everything I can do to get out and run three times this week for a whopping total of 9.3 miles. That said, it is over, the “not running” thing is done. My ankle is feeling fine and I am back to running everyday starting NOW. 5k min each day. Same rules as when I started running seriously but worse. If I miss a day I have to pay it back, double. If I want to run ahead of time that is allowed at the normal 1x rate.
The plan is to do a marathon this fall. 26.22 miles is a long way to run but I am going to do it barring some significant injury. My plan is to post my mileage on here daily, but I need to find a good way of doing it.
So for now I need all of you wonderful blog readers to call me out and hold me accountable. Well not actually, but if you suspect slacking or if I fail to report regularly let me know.

Glad the ankle is better. We will be checking up on you. No jazz until you’ve gotten your 5k in.
Instead of hating on yourself go back and read one of your fine essays: “zephyr”
and work toward attaining that joy.
Lots of carrots, not so many sticks.
Man, you make me feel like a loser. I said I was gonna walk each day and since it was all thundershowery last week that plan failed. No excuses I must find the time to exercise and get back into shape. Thanks for the inspiration!
carrots are for wimps
