count me in for that run around the lake with ya...you just might have to carry me. In the meantime every step, every run, every mile, every marathon is a salute to we the old schoolers (an especially to larry) and I always run with the greatest pride imaginable. I am merely a lone representative of something much bigger than me or my mostly trival exploits...I tip my hat and salute all of you out there, you all know who you are.... get better quick L get yourself a single dumbell(not me) and start doing daily upper body stuff remember it takes many small steps to accompish anything worth doing and strong shoulders figuratively and literally won't hurt one bit. We'll all be watching for you here
: 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.
