Hand-held light

Thu, 10/18/2012 - 10:04pm

It is getting dark in the evening. I'm wearing a blinking red light on my back, and tonight I held a white blinking light in my hand. I thought it would get annoying but it wasn't too bad and it did help in traffic.

Doctor's orders

Sat, 10/13/2012 - 12:28pm

Last week I went to the doctor because of my sore left foot. He checked it out and recommended insoles and told me not to run for a week.

The insoles helped a lot, and after a few days the pain disappeared. Today it's 10 days later and I went for my first run.

The pain in my foot didn't come back but I am hyper vigilant now and nervous about every little ache or feeling. The reality is that I won't know until tonight or tomorrow if I overdid it or not.

The run was great. Took it easy with 41 minutes and the weather was excellent.

Jelly in Arlington

Mon, 10/01/2012 - 7:53am

Friday night I met an old friend. Jelly was in town last week for a conference and we got together for dinner. It was very good to see her again.

The last time I saw Jelly was in 2006, in a bar at the train station in Amsterdam.

Early morning run

Thu, 09/27/2012 - 10:30am

Dropje woke up at 6.30 am today and due to a busy social schedule I decided to go for a morning run.

I'm glad that I put in the 4 miles, but running in the morning does have its drawbacks. Most of all, since I just woke up my legs don't feel as great, and after this run I actually felt my left knee again (no pain, but I felt it). Also, I had to take a real break halfway. Anyway, Saturday is my next run and tonight and tomorrow night are now free for social events.

Didn't record my time since I wanted to run slowly.

Getting dark

Mon, 09/17/2012 - 8:05pm

Had a great run. Monday a week ago I ran 5 miles, and I felt that in my left knee on Thursday, if only a little bit. I had calculated that the past weekend, when we visited New Jersey, would make a nice recovery period and indeed it did -- I didn't feel my left knee at all. So that means I can run 5 miles sometimes without it impacting my knee, very cool. My goal is to be able to run 6 miles again -- that would allow me to run into DC which is just beautiful.

Birthday weekend Julian

Sat, 09/15/2012 - 4:09pm

Yesterday we drove from Arlington to Secaucus with a car full of people. It was Nora's first road trip, a 5 hour drive. There was quite a bit of traffic between DC and Baltimore, but once we reached Delaware the road cleared up. We stopped for dinner at our usual stop, the welcome center in Delaware.

It was great to see the Zane family again, and for everybody to be together. Tomorrow is Julian's birthday.

Little bit of pain

Thu, 09/13/2012 - 8:00pm

After Monday's 5 mile run I waited two days until I ran again. I felt me left knee during the day, but with tonight's run I think it has reasonably recovered. One more recovery break and then it should be fine.
