A Bye Week, Bummer

No Gator football this past Saturday, it was a "bye" week. Next Saturday, we face Tennessee.



I want to get this blog posted, so it's going to be a quick recap of my training.....

Thursday 9/11

Weekly Total

Running: 5 runs totaling 36.38 miles; another all-time mileage high for me!!!

Karate: 5 classes, 3 SWATs, 4 "extras"



Overall it was a great training week on both fronts; running and karate. As of today (9/16/08), I only have 47 days till my next marathon, the ING New York City Marathon. I'm getting psyched, I'm getting nervous, I'm getting anxious, I'm getting concerned.......



I'm getting most scared because with all my training, I'm feeling physically really good; no major aches or pains. With all my mileage, classes, etc, I should be sore, stiff or otherwise complaining. But I'm not. Yeah, I still have my heel pain, but that's minor; it's very tolerable and doesn't really impact my running. When I was in training for my 1st degree black belt, I felt sore every day. Now training for my 2nd degree, I feel great everyday. Well, whatever is the reason, I like it!



Till next week,



Boa noite (good night in Portuguese)

  1. I happened onto your blog. Very well done.

    I have extensive experience in treating athletes with a variety of musculo-skeletal problems.

    Karate,judo, running, boxing in particular, develop predictable problems with the elbows, wrists, shoulders and knees.

    I currently use a non-prescription topical anti-inflammatory cream that I developed, originally for my daughter's horse.(her hobby) I introduced commercially, for human use 6 months ago.

    The cream works in about 30 seconds, pain relief lasting 2-4 hours. There is no odor, no noticable sensation of burning or cooling. The pain, simply goes away. Most of the problems are inflammatory, and the cream is a transdermal anti-inflammatory of a rather potent nature.

    The blog site is: http://paindoctor.typepad.com/kinkease_use_and_uses/

    The product is called “kink-ease.” It is a high concentration MSM lotion, and it is particularly useful for pain problems in the feet, hands, wrists, ankles and shoulders. It is somewhat useful in the hip and lower back, but only in slender people.

    It is pharmaceutical grade and is priced very reasonably.
