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.
