RAF037: My First Little Weight Training

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/05/04

Today I start my strength training. I missed my second walk this week, and I’m moving up to walking three times a week as I continue to come back from my knee injury. Today is the first day of my strength training and I do just one exercise, one set of six curls. Another addition to my routine is walking at work. Every hour I get up and make a couple of laps around the inside of the building and this is improving my step count for the day. I get some running clothing bought and ordered, and I try to

RAF036: Mistakes

I find out that I have been too extreme in my diet and have to make some big adjustments. I talk about this and more as I walk on a cold and rainy day.

RAF035: And More Patience

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/27

I wanted to give a little more information about the workout from Episode 33 in which the recording was cut short. I’m a little impatient now, and that needs to be tempered with the realization that I cannot go all out right now. I’m just coming back from an injury. In a way, my impatience is a good sign. I am motivated and gung-ho to get fit. This motivates me and I hope you are motivated to get started if you haven’t started yet. After the six weeks off, I did have some resistance to get started

RAF034: Fitness, Diet, and Medicine

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/25

I am now hitting the trail every three days, up from the weekly workouts I did for the first three weeks back from the injury. I am very happy to be injury free and pain free. Since I’ve been on this ultra-low diet, some negative effects are happening. One of the things to be aware of when losing weight quickly is that medications can be less effective. Not just because my body mass is less, as in why children should not take an adult dose, but because the chemistry of my body is changing, body fat

RAF033: Patience

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/20

Patience is the fortitude and willingness to wait as long as I have to, to move forward when I need to, and then continue on. Determination is the energy that drives me. I make a couple of wrong turns and need more patience. My brain is not operating well because I did not eat today or drink enough water. The routine is becoming this: I lose weight before Thursday weigh-in, then gain it back over the weekend. My return to exercise requires patience. I had some down time due to my injury. I will not

RAF032: More Goodness, Less Badness

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/18

A lot of things prevented me from getting in the mid-week workout this week. This might not have been a problem when I was doing this every day, but now I am out of the habit. This week I did not get the sleep I needed or the food I needed. I think this led to me going off the rails last night and overeating. I lost four pounds last week and gained it all back in one night. Need to get three meals a day, 7-9 hours sleep. A rough week, but I can get right back on track. I’m out exercising and am

RAF031: Stubborn Return

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/13

Fitness Department: I am very happy that I had no ill effect from the last run a week ago. These are definitely low-impact workouts. But that’s how we get back into it, one step at a time, one minute at a time, one run at a time. I plan to increase the frequency of workouts to two, then three per week. I’ve had so much time off that I’ve gotten used to using that time for other things, so now it will take some doing to squeeze the workouts back into my schedule. The important thing is I’m still

RAF030: I'm Back!

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/11

As I celebrate 30 episodes, I’m also celebrating a triumphant return after six weeks of being on the injured reserve list due to my knee injury. But I’m feeling much better now, rarely feeling any pain and even forgetting I even had knee trouble. I think it will be better to exercise, I’ve had enough rest. But I have learned from my mistake and I’m taking it easy. One run this week. I’ve lost 21 pounds since starting a “biggest loser” contest at work. Hopefully this will make injury less likely and

RAF029: Injury Report

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/06

I went to my primary care physician because my knee had not improved over the weekend, since I felt some sharp pain when starting my run. They took X-rays, and he warned me not to run and to walk at my discretion. Later I was called in for an MRI and went to see an orthopedic specialist. As you can see by this X-ray picture, there is no fracture, which is exceptionally good news! So I’m not to work out until two months after the injury, or not run at least. I’m very happy about this news, and look

RAF028: Not Yet Defeated

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/04/04

I go out for a test, fact-finding walk. I can’t really know exactly what to do about my injury. I’m not going out today just because I am stubborn. I think it might be better to exercise in moderation than to rest. This is a risk. What if I can’t run? How am I going to do a podcast called Running: A Fever if I cannot run? I feel pretty good, but I definitely still have an injury. I get out on the trail and I am limping. I need to regroup, listen to my advisors. Perhaps I need to take a few days off

RAF027: R.I.C.E.-ing

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/30

I take a day off from exercise. I’ve solicited advice from a couple of people, and I talk about that advice and how I am weighing it. It was suggested that I do something low-impact like using an elliptical machine. I don’t have access to one of those, so I am planning to walk tomorrow. More...

RAF026: Time Management and my Tragic Flaw

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/28

Tragically, I am distracted today. I have a lot to do in a short span of time. Holiday grocery shopping, painting a room, and finding some furniture to go in it. But I have made physical health and fitness my number one priority. I spend some time talking about all of the things I have to do and the busy-ness of the day. Perhaps this distractedness is a foreshadowing of the inattention to my body that leads to my injury. Ironically, before I hit the run portion I consider running twice per day! I am

RAF025: The Demons of Doubt

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/23

Continuing on the theme of mental control, I try to invent some way to help myself get through the run. Some strategy of thought and concentration to distract me, to fight off negative thoughts, what I call the Demons of Doubt. I call them demons because they seem to act on their own. I don’t have to come up with doubts and negative thoughts. They exist in the absence of positive thoughts. They are not just proactive, they are evil, because they want to interfere with something I want to do that is

I offer my detailed instructions for how to make the breakfast that I enjoyed this morning: Southern Sausage and Eggs 2 tbsp. bacon grease or shortening 2 eggs 2 sausage patties or 4 slices of bacon or 2 slices of bologna or 1 slice of country ham Take your skillet and put it on the stove and start warmin’ it up. Reach in your fridge and get your jar or cup or some other container of bacon grease saved from a previous breakfast and spoon out a healthy portion of that into the skillet. Once melted,

RAF023: Adversity and Pain

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/16

How do you handle adversity? Do you have people you talk to? Things that you do? I have attitude problems but I keep on going, trying to maintain. It’s in the hard times that we really find out who we are. Sports are a metaphor for life. There is always some difficulty, some challenge to overcome. In a game, it is the opponent. In running there is no opponent except gravity. There is a big mental part of this, how I approach the things that make me want to stop. There is an individual philosophy of

RAF022: Difficult, Uncomfortable, and Painful

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/14

Frustration has to be met with determination. Survival is a win. I reason that the more success one has, the harder it is to get that incremental increase. So while on my first run, I had an infinite percent increase in everything, and subsequent workouts were jumps ahead, now these improvements are harder won. I’m also in the middle of a difficult stretch of days. I now know that these come and go and that makes it easier to accept. Sometimes I just survive, complete a workout, and move on. Other

RAF021: A Light in the Darkness

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/09

We went past twenty episodes without celebrating, so yay! That is a lot of episodes for a podcast and it’s a good sign that we have some staying power. I intentionally leave the house later. Since I now have my headlamp, I want to give it a good tryout. It is dark and the visual effects are interesting. It’s cold enough to see my breath, but I only see it when it’s going in front of the light. Also when I’m running it looks kind of like a diving mask, I can only see through a certain arc. I get

RAF020: Gait Analysis and More

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/07

Special Guest: Heather I go to Rush Running, a local running store, and get a gait analysis. First I put on a neutral test shoe, get on a treadmill, and start running for a few seconds. Then Heather shows me the video and what my feet were doing. I am amazed at how well she ties my shoes. Turns out you need a size larger than your normal size for running. We try a few different shoes in the medium stability range, and I get on the treadmill to make sure they feel good during a workout. I am

RAF019: Going Deeper

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/03/02

It’s a cool day, and though it is clear and at the peak of temperature for the day, my hands are cold. I try to keep a positive attitude and recognize success in my efforts, but sometimes I don’t celebrate wins and tend to just look for the next challenge I must overcome. Perhaps I need to work on that. I look forward to a visit to a running store to finally get equipped to run in the dark. Running is harder in the cold weather, because it is harder to get the needed volume of air into my lungs. I

RAF018: The Mental Effects

Running: A FEVER ·

2018/02/28

I explain the absence of trail audio from yesterday, it was an audio problem. This time of year, trying to get out and exercise is a race against the sun because the days are so short. Today it is darker and colder, and there are not many people on the trail. Today is also one of those difficult days. The cold makes it harder to breathe once I start my run. I’ve been asked how cold it will have to be for me to not come out. I plan to run in any temperature as long as it isn’t icy or otherwise
