A cautious start towards a comeback

stats of the week: Zwift cycled 53 km, walked 15 km, gym 1.5 h

Sessions with the physio continue and I added lymphatic drainages to elimate the last swelling inside the knee. It worked and now the joint feels better than ever since the surgery. So I tried some very easy jogging today, 300 meters of walking followed by 200 meters of running, this for 4K. It's a start at least and I hope to repeat this session every 3rd day and cautiously increase it.

I also switched to real workouts with Zwift. Not too strenous, I have not exceeded 120 Watt so far. 

New York watching, not running

stats of the week: cycled 112 km, walked quite a lot
stats of the previous week: walked even more
the weeks before: waiting for improvement

A year ago I planned to run my final New York City marathon this November. Now I am okay that I failed to get an entry. I am not able to run anyway. But I still enjoyed the big city in perfect weather for the whole of marathon weekend.

My favorite place in Manhattan is Washington Square.

Macy's display "give love" and what they mean is "give money".

From Miami South Beach I made it to the lighthouse of Key Biscaine by bike. A relaxing extension of the interair New York weekend.

Former European 10,000m champion Jan Fitschen of Germany, excited to see his interair group at mile 14. 

It was my 17th journey to the New York Marathon, thereof 12 I was happy to run myself. Now at the age 71, not just because of the new so called President, I have decided to call it a life and say Good Bye to the USA.
