Memorial Day 2022, Monday
As May is ending I reflect on what was a pretty weak month of work hampered by a nagging, sore knee. I spent a lot of time, including today,
running in the water. So, it is possible that my aerobic fitness has not suffered terribly. But I have no idea about the status of my leg strength.
Today I actually did it double. Early in the day at Turkey Swamp Park I covered two miles walking and running moderately. In the evening I spent 30 minutes running in the pool after a 15-minute whirlpool on my knee. My knee felt very good as I left the pool area. So, I have decided to continue that routine until the pain in my knee has completely disappeared. Still hoping that by July 2nd I can run a respectable 800m with th AC 4x800m relay.
STATS are steady and solid.
Coach O’Rourke! My name is Tom Danielson. I ran for you from ‘81-‘85; XC, indoor and outdoor track. I was generally 5->7th man during the XC years with Andy, Brad, Bill, Gavin, Tim, and Ed. Always hurt. Spent more time with Michael Paul (whatever happened to him?)
Anyway, last I knew you were living on Grayrock Rd in High Bridge, NJ. I’ve been looking for you on/off for years! Wife, Jo Rupp, is friends with Kathy Harvey & she lead me to this website.
You knew me as Tommy (I can still hear you yelling my name during races). Anyway, just wanted to say hi! I run masters track, as well. Maybe we’ll see each other at a meet someday. Take care
