Gerry's Running Status Update


Just got a note from Gerry. We all know that he is between jobs, but did you know that he has had a stealth plan to become a running mega star? With all this new free time, nothing but good things expected. From Gerry's e-mail update:

With all this free time I thought I'd finally get in all the running I could handle. That's sort of true. Unfortunately "all I could handle" has been disappointingly little. I've been trying to tame a sore hamstring that won't get better. Just when I was deciding if I should take some time off - around 3 weeks ago - I went for an easy run and did something to my left foot that made it hard to walk on. I got x-rays to make sure nothing was broken/fractured, but I'm still hobbling around 3 weeks later (a bone scan is next on the agenda if the pain isn't gone post-CA). Yesterday, while doing my physio to help my hamstring, I overdid the weights and hurt my lower back. Youch! So, while fixing myself I'm slowing falling apart. Cursed age! My hamstring makes it hard to sit for long. My foot makes it hard to stand. And my back now makes it hard to lie down. Hmmm. Thank goodness for beer.
