The past year has been a tough one for me running wise. I injured my calf almost exactly one year ago and the road to recovery has been far from smooth. I'm happy to say now, though, that the future finally looks bright.
During my road to recovery, my blog also took a hit. After all, it's hard to stay motivated to update a running blog when you run into obstacle after obstacle. You start to fear that your optimistic posts somehow jinxed you. But today, I want to look back and recap those many ups and downs.
This post is going to be a long one, but I want a record of everything I went through for the future. It's so easy to forget how bad things once were when things start going well. Perhaps someone else will find them useful, especially anyone considering an autologous blood injection.
In that post, I wrote about dabbling with the Team Beachbody's Insanity Max: 30 program, which left my calves rock solid after every video. I told you all how I didn't know exactly what the problem was, but that I was leaning toward Achilles' tendonitis and that I didn't think it was a strain.
Do you know what I didn't write about? Going to the doctor. Because I was stupid. I decided I knew enough to deal with the issue on my own – a decision I deeply regret now.
From August through November, my running was very on-again / off-again. I wrote about taking time off for my injury–a week here, 10 days there–before getting back to training. Then, inevitably, a race or a workout would lead to more time off. Looking back, it makes me cringe. Why did I play that game for so long? Why didn't I go to the doctor?
In retrospect, I did an impressive amount of running during this time considering just how bad my calf injury was. If I have one thing going for me, it's my pain tolerance. I even ran a few PRs with what turned out to be the mother of all calf strains! I complained about Achilles' tendon pain after each and every race, but I kept at it. I even aborted a workout in late September, only to stubbornly run a 10 mile race in October.
The straw that broke the camel's back, however, was a workout the week after my Turkey Trot. I finally—more than four months after the original injury—set up an appointment with my doctor.
All along, I had been operating on the assumption that I had tendonitis. The doctor, however, was pretty sure that it was muscular. I had an MRI on December 10, which confirmed this suspicion. I had not one, but two soleus strains. One was minor, near the tibia. The other was major – a "full thickness tear" running straight through my calf from the tibia to the Achilles'. Think of it as a worm hole through your muscle.
The big problem here–and what ultimately doomed me–is that the vast majority of calf strains are in the gastrocnemius muscle, not the soleus muscle, where I had my strain. And my strain was SUPER close to the Achilles' tendon (one doctor was actually shocked that I didn't tear the tendon with a strain so close). So when I was being stupid and trying to self-diagnose, my symptoms sounded more like Achilles' tendinitis than it did a "traditional" calf strain.
All of that really struck a cord with me. Particularly the part about the slow-twitch muscle fibers, since that helps explain why speed work and races were what really did me in.
The doctor originally told me to take four to six weeks off running, and that then I should be fine. Turns out, however, I really did a number on my calf with the constant injury/partial-recovery cycle and the healing process didn't run smoothly.
I did begin running again in January, but after five weeks, things didn't feel quite right. This time, I wasn't going to mess around and I went straight back to the doctor. An ultrasound confirmed not only that my calf was still strained, but that the injury was still massive. The ultrasound revealed a tear of the medial soleus measuring 5.1 cm x 0.4 cm x 2.0 cm.
I proceeded to have ultrasounds monthly through April. I had a big improvement in March, with the tear then measuring 2.7 cm x 0.3 cm x 0.6 cm, before a complete stagnation. In April, the strain only improved to 2.3 cm x 0.3 cm x 0.6 cm. It is then that the doctor and I decided it was time to try something more drastic.
On May 8, my orthopedic doctor took a vial of blood from my arm and injected it right back into my leg, using an ultrasound to get the needle exactly into the site of my calf tear. While the procedure itself wasn't bad (they used local anesthesia on my leg), the recovery was a little rough.
The procedure re-trigger the acute phase of the injury by irritating the exact location of the tear. With the injury site re-irritated, all that extra blood was on hand to aid in the full healing response of the body. The pain I had was nearly identical to the pain I would have whenever my injury would flair up – but more intense.
The doctor proscribed lots of rest and NO painkillers. After all, painkillers interfere with the body's natural healing response, and we were depending on that response running its course.
I worked from home for two days after the procedure and tried to avoid walking as much as possible. Then I used the crutches I had laying around from my stress fracture back in 2014 for a few days. I finished the day after the injection with an impressively low 793 steps on my FitBit and averaged less than 5,000 steps the rest of the week (including steps with the crutches).
While I had been spinning a lot before the injection, as well as attending weekly barre classes, I didn't do any kind of exercise for two weeks after the procedure. When I did return to exercise, it was only some light spinning for another three weeks (I also got my wisdom teeth out during this time…so that helped force some rest).
A month after the injection, on June 5, I returned to the doctor for a follow up. I wasn't convinced the calf was any better off, because after attending a wedding over the weekend, I apparently danced too hard and the muscle was super sore. Apparently, though, it was just good soreness.
The doctor performed an ultrasound and said the hole in my calf was gone, but that the muscle was still remodeling and wasn't yet as "smooth" as he would like. The doctor suggested I wait a week, and then start running on an Alter-G anti-gravity treadmill.
Another month later, on July 6, I returned to the doctor for another follow up after running on the Alter-G a dozen times, getting up to 40 minutes and 85% of my body weight, plus three runs outside of about 20 minutes each.
I got good news: my calf is still looking good. The doc said there was one spot that still didn't look perfect, but that if he hadn't known about the strain, he would have thought it was normal muscle.
The doc recommended another four to six weeks of physical therapy, but other than that, he said I don't need to do any more follow ups unless I feel any pain. That means today, 51 weeks after my initial injury, I can finally look forward to the future with some (well-founded) optimism and clarity.
It is time to rebuild my base, slowly but surely. It's a daunting endeavor, but I've been here before (if not after quite so much time off). I can guarantee I will have anxiety about my calf for months to come, and any kind of speed work is still months away, but I am so excited to once again be moving forward.
Here's to many more race reports in the years (if not the months) ahead.

I'm so happy you got a good report at the doc and glad to see you running on the Alter-G as well as doing some spin and barre. I was thinking about you and your doctor's appointment and think it is good you recaped your injury and the injection. You never know who may have this issue and consider that and read your recap. Cheers to rebuilding your base and hopefully staying injury-free for the rest of 2017- you have overcome so much with the stress fracture as well as other issues that you will no doubt come back strong from this.
I read the entire post (didn't think it was too long at all) and it's good you were able to document everything that happened. That really sounds like a tough situation, both physically and mentally. As you said, the good news is that there is a path forward and you should be done with this injury in the near future. It also sounds like your doctor really knows his stuff and that the procedure really helped stimulate recovery. Looking forward to more posts.
I'm definitely lucky to have found this doctor. I really do think he made all the difference!


"The MDM solution from EASI was the ideal solution for us. The system enabled us to block the play store and at the same time, open our "Vitalo Store". We also force certainsecurity rules now, like the mandatory use of a pin code."
Vitalo group was founded in 1936 and has become one of the world's leading companies in the production of plastic parts and systems for the industry. The group counts more than 700 employees and realizes a turnover of more than 70 million euros.
Given the rise in the number of mobile devices that was coming up inside Vitalo, they chose to take a direction and to take Android devices as the standard within the company.
Another important argument for searching a solution was the possibility to managed the costs (WiFi vs 3G vs roaming).
Finally, Vitalo chose EASI's cloud solution "Cloud2be for MDM".
Dudley Vanquatem, IT Manager of Vitalo, explains: "When we decided to switch from BlackBerry to Android, we felt a lack of security. We didn't want to take the risk that someone could get unwanted access to our devices, so we needed to look for an alternative for BES. Something that could, just like BES, easily monitor and wipe devices. And due to the Play Store, another challenge arrived: how could we be sure that our collaborators couldn't accidentally open the access to our corporate data?"
"The MDM solution from EASI was the ideal solution for us. The system enabled us to block the play store and at the same time, open our "Vitalo Store". We also force certain security rules now, like the mandatory use of a pin code. We are looking forward to future evolutuions of this system!"


Groonga 3.1.2 has been released!
There are following topics in this release.
In this release, Groonga began to support customizing lock timeout.
In the previous versions, the value of lock timeout is defined as about 3 hours. You can't change the value without modifying source code.
Now you can customize this value as configure option (–with-lock-timeout) or CMake build flags (-DGRN_LOCK_TIMEOUT).
See Global configuration documentation about the value of lock timeout.
In the Groonga 3.1.0 release, GRN_JA_SKIP_SAME_VALUE_PUT environment variable is introduced experimentally.
This environment variable controls whether skipping to update the same value. As it was experimentally introduced at that time, it was not enabled by default, but now it is enabled by default at last!
If there are many queries with updating by the same value, it may suppress increasing the size of database by this change.
See Release 3.1.2 2014/01/29 about detailed changes since 3.1.1.

Twitter Activity and TV Viewership report
Social media and TV programming have become fast friends, and, for many of us, the two are transforming how we watch television. In fact, Twitter has become a popular destination where fans can talk about their favorite TV shows in real-time. But do tweets drive consumers to tune-in to a program, or are viewers just chatting about shows they're already watching?
The answer is both. A new independent study by Nielsen provides, for the first time, statistical evidence of a two-way causal influence between broadcast TV tune-in for a program and the Twitter conversation around that program. The study used time series analysis to determine if Twitter activity drives increased tune-in rates for broadcast TV and if broadcast TV tune-in leads to increased Twitter activity. By analyzing minute-to-minute trends in Nielsen's live TV ratings and tweets for 221 broadcast primetime program episodes using Nielsen's SocialGuide, the study found that live TV ratings had a meaningful impact in related tweets among 48 percent of the episodes sampled. The results also showed that the volume of tweets caused significant changes in live TV ratings among 29 percent of the episodes.
"Using time series analysis, we saw a statistically significant causal influence indicating that a spike in TV ratings can increase the volume of tweets, and, conversely, a spike in tweets can increase tune-in," said Paul Donato, Nielsen's chief research officer. "This rigorous, research-based approach provides our clients and the media industry with a better understanding of the interplay between Twitter and broadcast TV viewing."
This is the first study to quantify the extent to which higher levels of tweeting may cause additional viewers to tune in to programming. The study also looked at the impact of tweets on TV ratings by program genre, and found that the influence can differ by genre. Tweets had the greatest impact on programs in the competitive reality genre, influencing ratings changes in nearly half (44%) of episodes. Episodes in the comedy (37%) and sports (28%) genres also saw significant increased tune-in from tweets, while programs in the drama genre were less affected (18%) by tweets during episodes.
The results also demonstrate what many industry observers thought to be true—that increases in TV ratings during an episode cause more people to tweet more often. This may be because there are more people available to tweet about a show, or because more compelling content drives people to tweet more often.
So what do the findings mean for the broadcast TV industry, and what's next for Nielsen?
"Media companies and advertisers have already made investments in social media outreach as a means of engaging more directly with consumers, and we believe there are worthwhile opportunities for Nielsen to conduct additional research that can help quantify the relationship between television and social media activity," said Donato.

WHY BUDAPEST?
5 Reasons You Need To Visit Budapest
1. It's one of the most historic cities on the planet.
Budapest is right on the Danube, which has been home to humans since the Stone Age. The river and its Buda Castle are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Book a nighttime cruise to see them in top form.
2. It's a food capital, and for good reason.
Budapest's food history spans literal centuries. Check out amazing farmers markets of fruits, veggies and pastries.
3. Hot springs make the city into a spa playground.
Hungary is said to have more than 1,000 hot springs thanks to super-thin earth crust. Take a break at one of Budapest's hot-spring spas like Széchenyi thermal baths, where outdoor pool temps reach about 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
4. And here, wine is an art form.
Hungary is famous for its vineyards. Weave deep into a cave labyrinth under Budapest's castle district for a wine tasting you'll never forget.
5. You'll party in "ruins."
Ruin pubs are doomed buildings — old cinemas, car parks and apartment buildings — that have been turned into the cheap bars of your dreams. The average bar isn't too shabby here, either.

Rodney Stark, Cities of God The Real Story of How Christianity Became and Urban Movement and Conquered Rome (San Francisco, Harper SanFrancisco, 2006) 280pp.
Rodney Stark brings a unique perspective to the history and development of Christianity. Not only is he a responsible scholar who seeks to construct reliable histories, as a sociologist he looks at the events, times, places with an earthy human perspective. Stark's most recent book, Cities of God, (henceforth COG), is an interesting analysis of how the Christian faith spread first through the urban areas of the Roman Empire. Stark tests his urban hypothesis with several available samples of social data from the first several centuries of the movement. His use of quantifiable social data from the first three centuries of Christianity makes this book unique in its treatment of the subject. Rather than reading a theory onto data, Stark's attempt is to form a hypothesis and then test it using quantitative methods. I was interested in the book for a few reasons. First, it is looks seriously at the Christian faith as an urban phenomenon. With the populations of the world continually moving towards large urban centers, Christianity as an urban faith is of paramount interest today. Second, the book places the fledgling Christian movement in its proper social/cultural world, neither idolizing the early days of the church, nor minimizing the faith commitments of the early propagators of the gospel. In this review I will briefly summarize the work, look at what I considered some of its strengths and weaknesses, and then draw a short conclusion. At the outset I want to make my position clear. I am looking at the work primarily as a practitioner, albeit one who is scholarly interested. I am not an historian or sociologist and will make no such intimations in my review. Others will likely want to evaluate Starks work on the grounds of his statistical methods, sociological assumptions, and historical conclusions. This is not my goal. I will simply look at this work from a standpoint of one interested in history and what we might learn from the church's past.
Stark's main thesis in the book is very interesting indeed. His claim is that the meteoric rise of the Christian faith in the ancient world can be accounted for by the following factors. First, that religious conversion takes place through existing social networks and relationships. Second, these networks primarily took root in the densely packed urban centers of the Roman Empire. Third, the growth of Christianity in a relatively short time span can be accounted for by a moderate rate of conversion in these major population centers.
To support his thesis he first develops a sociology of conversion from research done with the Moonies in the United States during the second half of the twentieth century (COG 8-13). He then uses this to reinforce the idea that conversation comes first through relational connections and only secondarily through ascent to new belief systems. Stark goes on to support his thesis by researching social data in 31 major cities of the empire. He first models how moderate rates of conversion in cities and spreading through travel/commerce could easily account for the flowering growth of the faith. Along the way he adjusts and supports his conclusions by looking at various social conditions and their affect upon acceptance of Christian beliefs. These additional factors are a literal tour de force of ancient religious practices in the Roman Empire. He spans the influence of eastern religions (Isis and Cybele worship), thoroughly factors in the rich response to the gospel in Hellenized Jewish communities of the Diaspora, and dances through the influence (or more accurately lack of influence) of the various Gnostic heresies so popular with religious scholars and pop fiction of our day. He finishes with a brief chapter on the last days of Paganism before closing with an exhortation towards the use of quantifiable data in testing our historical hypotheses. The book also includes a thorough appendix highlighting the data underlying his research – all the sociology research geeks will rejoice in this I am sure.
In evaluating this work I will do so by briefly looking at what I considered to be the strengths and weaknesses of the book. I will look first at the strengths as they occupy most of my analysis, and then move to one major drawback I found in the book. I consider the latter minor in comparison to the strengths, but it does involve serious theological assumptions which affect our understanding of the progress of Christianity.
I found Stark's analysis to have many benefits to both our historical understanding as well as application to contemporary life and ministry. To look at the positive aspects of his work I will first comment on his emphasis on social networks and conversion. I will then look at the relationship of this emphasis to Christianity as an urban phenomenon. Next I will comment on his focus Paul's missionary activity burgeoning from Hellenized Diaspora Jewish communities before closing with Stark's analysis of historical studies in the ancient empire (City Abstracts, Gnosticism, Isis/Cybele worship).
I found this to be a helpful understanding for those seeking to share the gospel with others today. Evangelistic methods that are not highly relational, that do not include opportunities to love and do life with others, may be perceived as inauthentic and they may not be very effective. There is a mammoth shortcoming in this view in that almost relegates God to the sidelines of the act of conversion. This is primarily due to the author's theological views, which color his understanding of conversion. This will be a feature of the work which will be addressed in a moment, but for now I will only say that a social network understanding of evangelism to be very helpful. Finally, while Stark does make mention of the strength of monotheism in providing both missionary zeal and long term commitment to "the one true God" his focus is clearly that conversions happen when the non committed are connected relationally with the faithful. It is in this ground that conversions take place and such soils were readily available in the urban contexts of the Roman Empire.
Stark's treatment of the role of urban centers in early Christianity is also very insightful. Cities in that time (as are cities today), were centers of commerce, greater population density, diversity of peoples, and the movement/exchange of ideas. In the Roman Empire travel increasingly took place via sea routes with the Roman road system being difficult to pass with commercial goods. The roads were a great network throughout the empire, but they were designed primarily for the nimble movement of roman soldiers throughout the provinces (COG 74). As a result the major port cities became the preferred urban hubs for commercial travel. Christian believers committed to the new faith would carry their beliefs with them establishing social networks in the port cities where they lived and did their work. Believers saw discipleship to Jesus as a new way of life, at times being known simply as followers of the way (Acts 9:1, 2). They lived and travelled the empire in the normal courses of life taking the message of the gospel with them into new social networks, precisely the contexts in which conversions take place. Stark traces the early movements of the gospel through the larger, Hellenized, port cities of the empire, with those being closest to Jerusalem becoming Christianized first (COG 76-83). Stark also connects the success of early Christianity to cities which had prominent religious diversity and acceptance of other eastern religions (namely Cybele and Isis worship). His idea here was that cities with these religions were already accepting beliefs that were different than those of the classical paganism of Greece and Rome hence making religious movement easier. This focus on the successful mission to cities should also encourage Christians who are interested in the mission of Jesus to focus on urban social networks for making disciples in the post Christian west.
Hellenized Jews and "God-fearers" who were associated with the synagogues would be the beachhead in many major Roman cities. The result of the conversion of Diaspora Jews would be vehement opposition from the Jewish traditionalists holding onto their culture – precisely what we observe in the book of Acts.
There are a few other features I want to mention before closing my remarks on the strengths of the work. First, the brief abstracts on the 31 prominent ancient cities were very valuable as an educational experience. It was interesting to see each geographical region of ancient Europe and the major cities that propelled it into the middle ages (See Chapter 2 – The Urban Empire). Additionally the background and theology of the ancient near eastern religions of Isis and Cybele were very interesting and bit bizarre. I will just refer the reader to page 91 of the book for some spooky weird stuff on the Cybelene priests. I will just say that I would have been a quick drop out from Cybele Seminary and that modern drag queens have nothing on these ancient enthusiasts of the eastern goddess. Finally, the chapter treating the history and influence on Gnosticism is worth the price of the book. For those who have read the Ehrmans and Pagels of the world on the so-called alternative Christian communities in the early church, this chapter is extremely helpful. Stark demonstrates sociologically that these aberrant and heretical sects were not major players in the expanse and propagation of the faith. They were heretics practicing a different religion than the Christian faith which spread through the urban centers of Rome. For those interested in discussions of the heretical Gnostic sects, chapter 6 of Starks work is a welcomed addition to that discussion.
I find this quotation almost unbelievable in light of both church history and the witness of the New Testament. First, there are vast Christian sources from history which teach precisely that conversion is in fact a work of God This tradition can be traced through all Christian sects and is found prominently in reformed groups represented in the works of Spurgeon, Edwards, Bunyan, Knox, Calvin, and St. Augustine of Hippo. Yet even outside of the reformed line others consistently give God at least a role in conversion. The great Catholic doctor, St. Thomas Aquinas, a strong proponent of the freedom of the will in conversion, readily taught that man cannot be converted but by an act of God. A brief citation from his Summa Theologica will suffice.
to be a bit problematic. I acknowledge that Stark may be using the term conversion in a more holistic fashion, but when dealing with theological issues I would have preferred greater clarity. Stark's theological views of conversion and freewill perhaps bias him against supernatural explanations of early church growth which would perhaps compliment his conclusions based on helpful sociology. I found this to be the most glaring weakness of the book.
Overall, I highly enjoyed Cities of God and recommend it highly as a useful study for those thinking about missional engagement in complex cultural settings. His insights into the importance of social networks and urban centers will prove helpful to church planters and missionaries who take the message of the gospel into our world today. For those who can see past his theological perspective (read – relax intensely reformed brethren), I commend this book to those interested in studies pertaining to early Christianity and missiology.
