I recall a video on your blog of a TMer crashin' and burnin'. Well.... look for me on You Tube at Lehi Rec center...I went down hard totally spacin' that I left the TM running after a SW session. I can't believe how much a TM can beat you up!! And just when I thought it was safer to run indoors.

Can't post details from my smartphone except in comments.
Finally broke down and ran the last two days as the pull of Maui was too much, despite the achilles tendon.
In Maui, along the shore. Beautiful lovely morning. (Would have kept going but had to go to the conference I am here for.)
From Smooth on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 16:07:17 from 67.232.119.27
YAY!!! You're running!!! AND in MAUI!!!! How FUN is that!!! Hope you're enjoying the sun and beach in between conference! :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Oh man ... running in Maui. That sounds AbSoLuTeLy PoSiTiVeLy HeAvEnLy! :)
Nice job on the miles. How is the achilles feeling now?
(Seriously, so jealous.)
From Rob on Sat, Jan 08, 2011 at 19:11:57 from 204.15.86.95
I was going to ask if you were back from Hawaii. I guess that answered my question. I have talked to Sasha about getting an iPhone App for FRB. I should start pushing it again cause I have that problem all the time. What kind of phone do you have?
From glidergirl on Sun, Jan 09, 2011 at 11:07:15 from 155.97.238.134
I hope things go well at the specialist, Paul, how awful! Let us know!

Nice work on the miles, I hope you're not paying for it now with pain. 2 days until the specialist? Hope things go well!

I've been a poor blogger, I know. It is difficult to blog when injured. Update:
Last Wednesday I visited with Dr. Joseph Albano, who specializes in tendon injuries. He confirmed that I do have achilles tendonosis and showed me a bunch of the interstitial tears on ultrasound. Previously I believed I was not at risk for rupture, but he informed me taht my condition has progressed to the point where I am at risk for rupture so I have to avoid some of my activities. Bummer. He also confirmed that he believes my best treatment option is to inject platelet-rich plasma (PRP) along with some of my own fat (rich in stem cells) into the achilles guided by ultrasound. Although there exists a bunch of positiveresearch and experience to support the use of PRP injections to treat achilles tendonisis, unfortunately with regard to the achilles, insurance companies still deem it "experimental" and my insurance carrier will not cover the procedure. Nevertheless, I am going to go ahead and have it done. The downside (apart from the fact it is supposed to be very painful), I will have to do lots of cross training, and have to undergo another 1 or two injections. So, despite having already registered, I'm out of Ogden and Utah Valley and the Slam. I'll have to see how recovery is going to see if I can sneak in a fall marathon.
Warning, boring but general informational video:

From RivertonPaul on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 13:10:26 from 67.42.27.114
Andy,
Out of respect for you, I didn't mention the insurance company by name. :)

From Bill Mandler on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 20:14:50 from 72.24.152.3
Paul,
Sorry to hear about your injury. I will miss seeing you at the slam this year. I am probably only going to do it 1 more year until I get my St. George 10-yr club guarantee.
I fully expect to see tons of elliptical hours from you!!!
From Smooth on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 at 23:30:33 from 74.211.25.43
Paul ~ So sorry about the Achilles tendonosis! Best of luck with the painful PRP treatment!! Looks promising!!!
Shame on the insurance company!!!
Hang in there! You have become quite good cross training!!! Here's to speedy and successful healing and a Fall marathon!!!
From glidergirl on Fri, Jan 21, 2011 at 12:34:50 from 174.253.182.200
So sorry to hear about the latest news of tears and risk of rupture :( We're all thinking of you.
I will be more religious about the eccentric lifts. Thank you for the advice. Anything else? Just so I know what to watch for, did you just run with it inflamed for several months? I just wonder if I'm past the point of no return. I have my first PT apt today.
From watchmerun on Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 00:22:46 from 24.10.152.45
So sorry to hear this. Hang in there. I hope that the injections work out for you.
From MarcE on Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 20:42:37 from 204.16.82.120
RP - so sorry to hear the diagnosis. I'm wishing you the best in this treatment (that I may need someday). I know you won't be posting much running stuff for a while -- but I'll keep checking back for the funny videos and pictures! Good luck.
From Tom on Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 20:46:01 from 67.199.180.90
Sorry you have to scale back this year Paul. But good to get with a good doc and figure out a gameplan. Hope everything turns out the very best it can.
From Scott Ensign on Sat, Jan 22, 2011 at 20:55:49 from 65.100.210.17
that's too bad Paul, I hope the treatments work, take it easy for awhile and hang in there.
From RAD on Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 14:41:01 from 67.172.229.125
Well shoot! It's never fun to get bad news, I guess the upside is that you got the bad news before the horrible news. A rupture would be so much worse, maybe not financially (I'm sure the insurance would cover that), but recovery wise. Hang in there, x-training is already under your belt. Now you just have to find a way to enjoy elliptical h#$$!!!

Friday I had my PRP and fat injected into my achilles tendon. First, blood was drawn then goes though a process of centrifugation designed to separate PRP from low-platelet plasma and red blood cells. Then, a local anesthesia was administered to my back above my left hip from which the Dr. Albano harvested fat graft material while observing on ultrasound by scraping it from by back, the donor site was closed, and the fat graft material was processed to be injection along with the PRP into my left achilles tendon. The harvesting of the fat material was more uncomfortable than painful -- definitely a strange sensation. Dr. Albano then uses ultrasound to inject the PRP and fat back into my achilles. I opted not to look at the gigantic needle, but did watch on the ultrasound on a monitor as he explained to me what was going on. I was relieved that the local anesthesia was very effective in limiting the pain for this part of the procedure. During the process Dr. Albano identified to me a number of interstial tears and he is hopeful the procedure will be successful.
I went home quite happy. Of course, when the local anesthesia wore off during the night and once my body began responding to the procedure, the pain intensified. Saturday and Sunday was very painful. The pain has subsided, but my range of motion in my left leg is very very limited, which makes me quite immobile. (I honestly did not expect to have such decreased mobility.) My leg has a ton of inflammation, but that is what will prompt the healing.
The black area on the image shows one of the interstitial tears.
Monday evening swelling.
Now, let the healing begin. (First course of action, being able to walk.)

"The black area on the image shows one of the interstitial tears." Hmmm... I thought your were having a boy.

Seriously, Paul! That is one gigantic needle, saw the puncture wound on your pic. You are one TOUGHIE !!!
Was the second pic taken later? It seems to show less swelling!
Teena said you have hairy legs! :) :) :)
I think the procedure sounds AWESOME!!! Hope you don't need much more treatments than 2 or 2.
Good to see you walking without boot or crutches! Let the healing begins!
From Smooth on Tue, Feb 01, 2011 at 18:55:43 from 67.2.78.121

(And ... there is nothing wrong with hairy legs on a man!!! It was just a stark contrast after working on Smooth's Asian smoother than a baby's butt hairless legs.)
Well ... if swelling is what they were after ... you got it. :)
Can't wait to see the results! :) :) :)

So, I still have very limited flexibility in my achilles tendon -- so much so that I can't yet walk normally. I am working on stretching the achilles, but for the time being progress is slow.
I did have a follow-up visit with Dr. Albano, and everything seems to be going as planned. Unfortunately, my interstitial tears were significant enough that I will need another injection. I am scheduled tentatively to have another PRP/Fat injection on April 1. Exciting I know.
In the mean time I wear my Dynasplint dorsiflexion splint at night, and during the day when I have time. It is tension loaded, and I am steadily working on increasing the tension. Here are some shots of me wearing my splint at work.
p.m. 80 minutes elliptical

Good to see you getting on the elliptical. I hope your achilles is feeling a bit better.
Also, great videos you have been posting here! Japanese guys getting their groove on in NY. Wow.

You've done strike? Those weighted bars kicked my trash! I think it would've been better had I not gotten stuck with the 15 pound bar. Enjoy some of the aquatoning (hahaha) while you're down - you'll be back and kickin' it soon, and better off for the long run too! (no pun intended) What are some of your favorite classes? I may only have a month to get some of these in - I don't know how long my budget can afford Lifetime.

I wish they would print helpful information on the bread packages like that now-a-days. Who knew that cellophane allowed me to see the actual loaf I want. Note to self. :)
That is a killer amount of elliptical. Impressive as always.

I don't care if it was, 2.5 hours or 2 1/2 hours or 150 minutes on an elliptical, that sounds crazy. That's practically a full marathon. Nice job.
From Teena Marie on Sat, Apr 02, 2011 at 23:33:26 from 67.2.71.182
150 minutes on the elliptical!!!!!!!!!???????!!!!!!!!!
DANG!!!!!
You sure haven't let your achilles affect your endurance at all!!!
Seriously ... 150 minutes????????
(I don't know ... I think I should add a few more exclamation points and question marks.)
From watchmerun on Sun, Apr 03, 2011 at 00:21:49 from 24.10.152.45
I'm not sure why, but cowhide gloves seem perfectly normal, whereas horsehide gloves just seem.... absolutely terrible. Poor little ponies.
From DaleG on Sun, Apr 03, 2011 at 01:16:47 from 67.2.13.107
It takes great mental toughness to last that long on the elliptical. Well done.
From Rhett on Sun, Apr 03, 2011 at 12:22:43 from 184.10.158.177
You are insane! Did your feet go numb and your mind turn to mush? An hour is my limit on that thing. Great job doing the simulation of a long run you can.
From Kathie on Mon, Apr 04, 2011 at 08:56:14 from 97.126.209.130

Funny footage!!! Speaking of feet, two things:
1st: Your achilles ... I take it you are feeling better?? (Nice job getting back to the gym) :) :) :)
2nd: I am pretty certain that the conversation between these two little ones has to do with the one's missing sock. Really! :)
We have missed you around here. So glad you are back! :)

My recovery from my second fat/PRP injection series into my achilles seems to be more accelerated compared to my recovery after the January injections, but there is still a lot of recovery to come.
I thought I'd post some of the images from Burt's modeling jobs:
Recognizing Burt's Devilish appeal, ad executives couldn't help but cast Burt as an eligible young man:
Soon, it became apparent that Burt projected the fine balance between innate machismo and compassion, as ad executives demonstrated in this shoot.
Unfortunately, despite looking so sharp in a sweater, Burt's modeling career fell off the cliff after Burt (having been told he was simply posing for a Ricola advertisement) was exploited by some unscrupulous sexist ad executives who were secretly taking advantage of young Burt's rugged masculinity.

Chad - I acknowledge that I have a huge head. Read the paragraph under the picture here: http://burt-mccumber.fastrunningblog.com/blog--Cheer-up-sleepy-Burt-een-Oh-what-/07-21-2010.html
Lily - That's my Derek Zoolander Blue Steel pose.
Scott - Paul is completely right. I started out on top of the world, but then I spent more money than I had, just like MC Hammer. So, I only did the beer advertisement for the money, just like Kirby Heyborne. Everything came crashing down thanks to those women's rights advocates.
From Chad Robinson on Fri, Apr 22, 2011 at 17:43:22 from 67.136.62.186

I am happy if the kids just replace the empty toilet paper roll!! I don't know how many times I go to use the bathroom and there is no TP. And then no one will admit that they were the one who used the last of the TP.
From Teena Marie on Tue, May 03, 2011 at 13:01:30 from 67.2.88.232
KristyAnn~
Your comment made me laugh so hard!!!! I'm guessing your home is the same as our home where the kids not only don't change the TP roll but then they will sit on the toilet screaming: "Someone get me some toilet paper!!!!" (Come on, how hard is to see that there is no paper on the roll? Or do they see it and are just too lazy to get it themselves? Or have they put off going potty for so long that they don't have the extra second to spare to grab it? Who knows!!!)
From Rhett on Tue, May 03, 2011 at 14:40:03 from 216.67.216.104

Personally I can handle either over or under without much duress, but we seem to lean toward over usually.
From RAD on Sun, May 08, 2011 at 00:38:31 from 98.202.17.113

The interstitial tears
in my Achilles tendon seem to be healing, but it is a slow process and takes a fair
amount of time.I went in to the doctor again
just this last Friday and we could see on ultrasound imaging that the tears are
getting smaller, but I still have a bunch and still need a bunch of the stem
cells from the injected fat to turn into new tendon.The goal is to get me as close to normal as
possible so I can return to running.I am
scheduled for my third injection series in August (Hopefully my last -- although I keep saying that).I had already written off this entire year.Hopefully I will be back at it next year.
30 minutes elliptical.
One hour barbell strength.

From Smooth on Mon, May 09, 2011 at 16:01:59 from 67.2.81.158
HAPPY to hear that the injections is working! LOVE your positive attitude! Your patience is very admirable! Keep up the good work w/ xtraining!
From MarcE on Mon, May 09, 2011 at 22:20:52 from 204.16.82.120
Maybe by August everything will be healed. Keep the positivity!
From Rhett on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 17:04:04 from 74.32.222.239
Keep up the cross training so when you come back you will be in amazing shape. I'm starting to think my body needs a year off, with all the stupid injuries I keep getting.
From Teena Marie on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 17:06:52 from 67.2.88.232
Wow!!! I am sorry that you need another injection, but so happy that it is healing. Thank you for the update. We need to get the crew together for lunch sometime. I feel like I haven't seen everyone forever.
From Burt on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 18:28:13 from 206.19.214.144

From baldnspicy on Tue, May 10, 2011 at 18:34:23 from 72.95.164.253
Wow, that's tough, Paul. You're doing great at keeping up the cross training, though. That's a terrible injury, but the fat injections sound interesting - yet painful. I'm surprised they found any on ya to inject.
Good luck!!
From Lily on Wed, May 11, 2011 at 13:30:59 from 67.199.178.210
Funny picture ha!
Hope you continue to heal up. Even if it's slow. Getting better is better than not right?
From glidergirl on Sat, May 14, 2011 at 12:23:08 from 155.97.238.134
I ditto everything everyone has already said, I'm glad it's working! And it's a good thing you kept your expectations in check. I'm sure it's still very hard though. Good job keeping on. :)

Are you doing Ogden this weekend?
From RAD on Wed, May 18, 2011 at 17:02:23 from 98.202.17.113

Nice job on the machines and easing back into things. Now that I can run early outside I haven't been around to see you much in the mornings. Hope all is well.

I'm not a big country fans, but I thought this year that these two on Idol (and others) were terrific.
Also, it seems past time for some sort of lunch get together. Any takers?

I'm not going to lie, I have a girl-crush on Carrie Underwood. She has the whole package...smart, stable, talented, GORGEOUS.
I'm up for lunch! Now to get all of our schedules to match up...that's the tricky part. I think Teena has Mondays and Fridays off, not sure though.
From RobXT on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 12:59:00 from 206.71.84.68
Hey Paul, I tried to talk to you today but you were ignoring me.
You've been hittin that barbell class pretty hard, It looks like way to much work for me.
From RivertonPaul on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 13:03:58 from 67.42.27.114
Brooke,
Who is Teena? :)
Rob,
I was ignoring right up until I tried hand signaling you into the room at which point you ignored me. I am curious as to how your Dr. appointment went.
From RobXT on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 13:07:59 from 206.71.84.68
I broke my blog, I wrote up a big summary of the doctor and then I tried to add a new blog to track my crosstraining and now both are broken.
I have a stress fracture in my hip, I've been told to stop running completely for 8 - 10 weeks.
From RivertonPaul on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 13:10:44 from 67.42.27.114
Dang, I'm sorry to hear that. You are way way too tough for your own good. Really, dang.
From Andy on Thu, May 26, 2011 at 13:13:57 from 199.190.170.21
It is definitely time for another lunch.

I'm thinking Scotty actually sounds better than Tim McGraw...glad he won.
From DaleG on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 14:07:29 from 76.27.13.205
Let me know when the luncheon is and I'll try to make it....If I'm invited, that is. lol
From Smooth on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 16:07:04 from 97.64.179.130
I enjoyed Carrie Underwood's performance at the Stadium of Fire last year and I am not a country music fan!
When is lunch! I will be back June 1st!!! :)
From Teena Marie on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 16:13:15 from 67.2.101.26
"Who's Teena?"
Are you wanting me to come and kick your trash, dear Paul???? ;)
Thanks for looking out for me Brooke!!!
Please have the luncheon on either a Monday or Friday so that I can introduce myself to you!!!!
From Rhett on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 16:25:55 from 74.32.222.239
Too far for me to travel, but I wish I could be part of this lunch party.
Who won American Idol?
From Teena Marie on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 16:30:27 from 67.2.101.26
Don't answer that, Paul!!!
I am avoiding all media until I have a chance to at least watch some of the highlights. My girls love this show!!!
If you must respond to Rhett's question do it in some special Rhett/Paul code!!!
From RivertonPaul on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 16:48:04 from 67.42.27.114
Teena, the biggest winner of American Idol was Carrie Underwood.
From JD on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 16:55:39 from 70.96.78.149
Really though, it's we, the American viewers, who are the true winners.
From Teena Marie on Fri, May 27, 2011 at 17:10:02 from 67.2.101.26
Paul and JD~
Why am I laughing so hard? Sleep deprived? Nah ... you both are just funny!!!
From RAD on Mon, May 30, 2011 at 11:44:03 from 98.202.17.113
I want to crash the lunch party! Especially since I've missed the last couple due to kid complications.
Oh, and as far as Idol goes Casey didn't win and that just makes me sad! After Paul got voted off, I was holding out hope for Casey. When Casey got the boot it was Haley...nothin' I got nothin' this year :( I LOVED Casey's performance with Jack Black. I just have a completely platonic crush on Casey - the guy can SING! I want to go to one of his concerts and get back stage passes to meet him. I already told my husband this is my next big gift (when he starts touring alone). I love Casey! He may look like Papa Smurf, but I LOVE his voice and stage presence. You can just tell he's the funny guy of the group. Oh, sorry...you started it though by mentioning Idol.

My oldest graduates from High School today. A cool gift you could give him is to simply go to his website http://pokemondungeon.net/ and click on an add or two. That would increase his traffic.
Next fall he will be off to:

Very fun! I will do my best to be there. How far is 10060 S State St. from Provo? Is that all the way up in Salt Lake City?
From RAD on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 14:52:21 from 98.202.17.113
Sounds perfect! I can then head down to Provo for packet pick-up afterward.
Congrats to your son!
Rhett, it is about 40 min north of the main Provo area. Not clear up to SLC downtown, but still North. Not a bad drive (as long as construction on the freeway near Provo is cooperating).
From Kelli on Wed, Jun 01, 2011 at 15:04:15 from 71.219.96.115
HEY, mine is graduating, too. Maybe we will see you there----there are only 600+ graduates, it is possible. We can bash Achilles together.

I'll try to make it to the luncheon.
From Kelli on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 00:41:22 from 71.219.96.115
That was the longest graduation EVER!!! Can you imagine what it was like last year with 1,000+ kids??? UGHHH, it was so hot. MISERY. Glad that is done!
I am such a positive person....
From RivertonPaul on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 10:35:40 from 67.42.27.114
Kelli, yes, the graduation was very nice, but very long. I wish the audio visual had been synced and that the video did not convert the purple to blue. You'd think UVU could do a better job at that. Also, unfortunately, we had some people sitting behind us who didn't know how to whisper.
From Smooth on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 13:05:44 from 67.2.107.37
CONGRATULATIONS to your boy!!!
Please post some pix! :)
From Kelli on Thu, Jun 02, 2011 at 19:42:28 from 71.219.96.115
I hope we were not sitting behind you!!! kidding, my kids were all plugged in and there was not a peep from our row!
O never even looked at the audiovisual. Hmmm....my daughter said that it said the class of 2010 at the end. Funny.

Been kinda hard to blog when all I've been doing is elliptical and barbell class (I'm not going back and entering what I've done, cause I've lost track) Well, I guess I also didn't blog while I was away on wonderful family vacation to the Outer Banks in North Carolina. Anyway, here I am, again.
60 minutes elliptial. One hour barbell strength.

Happy to hear you had a wonderful family vacation!
c'mon what's hard about blogging what you've been doing! Speaking for myself, I don't have a clue what barbell class does/is! Just hearing you are doing something and staying alive and well means so much! you know how we worry!
Are you having another injection in Aug? seeing progress?
From Kathie on Fri, Jul 22, 2011 at 13:32:59 from 174.23.141.36

I ran Outer Banks Marathon last November - you should visit that time of year, it is a really great race - SO flat! Except going over the bridge to Roanoke Island at mile 23ish.
Hope things are continuing to heal well!

Tuesday my dad passed away.
Many of you know over the past number of years my dad has been dealing with serious health issues including a number of hospitalizations. The past four weeks has been especially eventful. His death came at the end of an intense month of worry and pain. The last three years have been difficult and rewarding, as I witnessed my dad's sanctification through his trials. He softened. He learned patience. He turned to the needful and important.

May you find peace and sweet memories at this difficult time and days ahead! Take comfort to know that your father is free from the toil and suffering! He has fight a valiant battle and now in the loving arms of the Father and loved ones who had gone forth before him!
Keeping you and yours in my thoughts and prayers!

I'm sorry Paul. My condolences to you and your family.

I'm sorry Paul, I know he meant a lot to you.
From Andy on Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 13:26:27 from 159.212.71.199
I'm sorry to hear this, Paul. I have really admired you for the way that you have taken care of him through his health issues. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
From Tom on Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 13:34:48 from 137.65.56.2
Sorry about your Father Paul. It's very hard to lose a parent and I hope and pray for the best for you and your family.
From Teena Marie on Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 14:52:50 from 174.27.200.245
I am sorry for your loss, Paul. My thoughts and prayers (as well as Ry's) are with you and your family.
Thank you for being such a wonderful example of kindness and love.
From Tom Slick on Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 15:09:24 from 69.171.160.158
God Bless you and yours during this trying time!
From RAD on Sun, Sep 18, 2011 at 23:11:31 from 76.27.16.189
My sympathies to you Paul! I wish I had some wonderful words of wisdom, but at a time like this there are few, if any, that express the right sentiments.
As I watched my father pass, many experiences touched me and changed my life. It is absolutely amazing, terrifying and spiritual. I'm glad you can see so much of what he went through as a positive. Always remember him and he will never be far from you, but I think you already know this.
My prayers, love and sympathy go to you and your family at this time.

My best friend passed away a month ago and I completely agree with Rachel.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Paul. I'm sure your dad was a great inspiration to you throughout your life, and will live on through you.
From fly on the Wall on Thu, Sep 22, 2011 at 18:50:07 from 204.113.19.47
So sorry for your loss Paul. You have my sympathy. My father passed quickly and unexpectedly, which meant little suffering but no goodbyes. There is no easy way to loose your father.
From JohnnyV on Fri, Sep 23, 2011 at 15:19:11 from 204.124.13.151
Paul,
I am sorry for your loss. I know what a great man your father was. I know you will miss him, but hope that you will always remember the things he stood for and taught you.

It would be great to see you back here whenever you are ready. I didn't post to your blog much but I often peeked in to see what nutty thing you would have up.
Kind of feels like something is missing with out you.
