Blogmaster takes show on a different road weekly
Will you forgive me? I’ve been unfaithful. Although this blog remains my No. 1 labor of love, I’ve been seduced to do another. About a month ago, editor Sean Callahan of Masters Athlete magazine (formerly GeezerJock) asked me to join a select rotation of masters athletes and observers writing a blog for his Web site. I said sure! So now I’m Mr. Tuesday, and I’ve contributed four pieces already. Most recent is one about Alisa Harvey and her W40 indoor AR for 800 meters over the weekend. It contains exclusive quotes and anecdotes from that meet in University Park, Pennsylvania. (Exclusive because so far I’m the only one bothering to contact her.) She reveals, among other things, that she hopes to run sub-2:05 outdoors, which would likely qualify her for her fourth Olympic Trials. Check it out!
Blogmaster takes baby steps with new, improved ACL
My knee is beautiful, the nurse said. Walking on crutches extensively for the first time since Tuesday’s ACL surgery, I made my way yesterday to Kaiser Zion hospital — where nearly 19 years earlier I saw my son born.Yesterday, when nurse Eileen took off my old bandages, I had my first glimpse of my reborn left knee. Happily, there was little swelling. She gave me a rehab routine for the first week. These include range-of-motion exercises — a welcome chance to remove my long, Velcro-laden leg brace. After X-rays were taken, I learned from another nurse that my surgeon, Dr. Donald Fithian, had just been included in San Diego magazine’s list of “Top Docs.”

Mac Wilkins said that 75% of the throws he took were in his mind. Ken can work on his hurdling technique while he watches Oprah on TV.
