March 31st, Thursday
Left St. Augustine this morning for a long day of driving. Heavy cloud cover from Florida to North Carolina, not a single break. Luckily no rain. There were a number of slowdowns and stops along Route 95, very rare on a Thursday morning. So, the projected seven-hour drive took nine hours.
Survived on those handy and tasty PB&J sandwiches. We finally arrived in Durham at about 6 p.m., had dinner in room. Now resting for an early departure in the morning. No swim…
My legs were and stiff while driving today, no doubt some of that DOMS. I did not stop to check weight, morning heart rate, or l-Mad today; loading car and closing condo. But I do remember thinking as I took my first few steps this morning that my Achilles tendons felt rather good, maybe at a 2 or 2.5 – better!
Back in New Jersey tomorrow.
Yo Rob,,,, got a few questions.
What does ‘uncategorized’ mean on the top of the page?
You may have already explained.. but what are DOMS?
Something to do with Dirty Old Man Stuff?
What’s an I-Mad ?
Anyway…. get home safe.

Hey Ed
You have to keep up with the blog all this has been explained in previous blogs. I was thinking today however that I should make a list of the abbreviations I am using. But since you are my bro I will give you a private lesson.
DMOS stands for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. It is a commonly used phrase among running people. I have noticed this before I heard the phrase used. As I have gotten older muscle soreness after a workout or some form of exercise did not occur the next day but 2 or 3 days later.
I-Mad is a item I created to keep track of the problem with my achilles tendons. It stands for Index of Morning Achilles discomfort. I make a mental judgement on a scale of from 0 pain to 10 meaning totally unbearable pain each morning when I take the first 20 steps as I get out of bed. That is the time that the Achilles tendons hurt the most in the course of a day.
PIZ is another abbreviation I created. You will have to read the previous blog for that explanation it’s too long.
Uncategorised is the default listing for a post until I create a category and assign it. So far I have created two categories training and history if something is left uncategorised it’s because I forgot to assign it a category.
