Larry, you rock! I will gladly run around the lake with you, if I can keep up!
: Don't know whether it is the percocet
: speaking but after 3 hrs of surgery this
: morning to reconstruct my heel and repair my
: achilles tendon.... I am pretty happy
: (buzzed?)!
:
: Dr. Baumann, the chief orthopedist for the
: NY Marathon, spent his morning doing his
: best to fix me up at Roosevelt Hospital and
: afterward said that he feels that there is a
: good chance, post rehab, that I will be able
: resume "normal" activities. His
: definition of normal is the same as mine!
:
: Longtime friends might recall that I had the
: other achilles tendon repaired a bit over 20
: years ago (Aug 86) and the following fall,
: after 14 months of therapy and training,
: successfully raced the NY marathon (Nov 87).
:
: Other injuries have taken their toll (hip
: surgery in 2000) and I guess the good news
: is this...I don't have much else to break or
: get fixed!
:
: Now... I've been accosted from time to time
: on various pseudo running community bulletin
: boards (not this one) by johnny-come-lately
: joggers who think that I shouldn't have a
: voice in the running community due to my
: "retired" from competition
: status... and all I can say is this... If
: any of the naysayers want to join me for a
: little "jog" to talk about whether
: I am entitled to have a voice in the running
: community...that would be fine with me! On
: the Saturday morning before next October's
: MDI marathon, I am going to be lacing up my
: shoes for a run around Eagle Lake. If you
: want to tell me your opinion in person,
: great, just be fit enough to hold a
: conversation going up the god damn hill on
: the back side of the lake.
:
: Be there or shut the F... up.
