Running with the Blue Monster

Was down in Miami this week for a short business trip. Thankfully I do not travel all that often because I may be cursed like Hurley on Lost. Back in September when flying to Denver - we had to make an emergency landing in Memphis because a lady in the row in front of me was in cardiac arrest. Going down to Miami the guy across the row from me was having a bad reaction to some meds he was taking to control his flight anxiety. They did not have to make an emergency landing but had an ambulance meet the plane when we landed in Miami. Good times.

Our facility in Miami is not on the beach but in a industrial area near the airport - so the running opportunities were limited. The facility is across the street from the Doral resort - home of the famed Blue Monster golf course. So on Wednesday after work - I snuck into the resort to check it out and discovered they had a 3 mile jogging trail. The odd thing was that it weaved around the golf course and seemed there would be a high probability of being hit by an errant shot. Fortunately I was running an twilight and there were no golfers on the course - so it was nice jaunt around the course.

By Wednesday my body had recovered enough to feel pretty good on the 6 mile run - although the right knee is still pretty cranky. I am thinking about trying a knee brace to see if that will help matters.

Hope this will go through w/o sign-up

Let me guess: "Hurley" has "motion sickness"

I know no knee knowledge except exercises to help old, worn joints to some degree!
