Lyme Disease<\/a>. \u00a0That is my my final diagnosis for my knee. \u00a0When my sports doctor got back from a conference the final results from my blood work had arrived and showed that I had a confirmed case of Lyme Disease. \u00a0This is the dreaded thing ticks carry. \u00a0We aren’t sure when I actually contracted it, but I never had the tell-tale rash and being a runner Lyme Disease wasn’t an obvious choice. \u00a0So now I’m on a month-long course of antibiotics. \u00a0Assuming they work I should return to normal life. \u00a0I didn’t realize this but Bart Yasso<\/a> has chronic Lyme Disease. \u00a0Obviously the knee has helped set the tone for the month. \u00a0I logged 68 miles on the bike, most of which are commuting miles and did a 3 mile test run. \u00a0Hopefully by the end of May I’ll be running again.<\/p>\n

This weekend I went backpacking with a friend at Jay Cooke State Park<\/a>. \u00a0We had a good time hiking and exploring. Last year Jay Cooke was our final run of mancation<\/a> and hiking there brought back some memories from then!<\/p>\n

I’ve set a few random goals for the year:<\/p>\n

Run Around All Named Bodies of Water in Minneapolis<\/strong><\/p>\n

This whole not being able to run thing is really cramping my style on this one.<\/p>\n

Read the Entire Bible in a Year<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another good month. \u00a0Mark is a really small book, but they’ve spread it out over 2 months!<\/p>\n

Read a Book a Month<\/strong><\/p>\n

I read Cause Wired<\/a> which is about the digital\u00a0revolution\u00a0and the social (philanthropic) sector. It combines two of my favorite non-running topics – social media and the nonprofit\/social justice realm. I\u00a0received\u00a0it free for taking part in the Blog Action Day Against Poverty<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Blog Regularly<\/strong><\/p>\n

I haven’t posted since March 10 on my personal blog (I hope it isn’t dying). \u00a0 I posted regularly on here and that’s more important for you! \u00a0 I continue to do well on my\u00a0Project 365<\/a> (taking and posting 1 picture a day). I’ve almost forgotten to post a picture and have actually forgotten to post the picture I took, but I’ve taken a picture (some better than others)!<\/p>\n

Other things of note…<\/strong> Things have been really good but very busy. \u00a0We’ve gotten some yard work done and ended up doing more landscaping than we’d planned on. \u00a0I was getting a little tired of looking at weeds in the “flower beds,” our yard is full of dandelions and I’m pretty sure my one neighbor hates it. \u00a0Sorry! One of the things I did was buy a hanging plant, sadly a bird created a nest in it and destroyed the flower, but there are pretty little Robin eggs in it!<\/p>\n

The\u00a0most popular post for the month is my more up to date Curing Plantar Fasciitis<\/a> which finally outstripped the older Treatments<\/a> version. \u00a0One a side note, I still have PF.<\/p>\n

This week’s ONE POST<\/strong> is about Recovery and Detraining<\/a> after a big race.<\/p>\n
