Today's run was the longest I have run on the new knee. 42 minutes. It was low and slow, but I keep getting better and stronger with every run, swim, and ride.

Return to The Hill! Felt good to get some dirt on my shoes. Ran into this little fella, and I think I saw @kufferaths3 shoe print.

Two weeks post operation. Stitches out. New @dirtbagrunners shirt. New @topoathletic shoes thanks to @nicbeoutdoors . Gonna log those miles in 4 weeks when I can start running again. I've got a packed fall race schedule.

New knees, new me!

2nd is the "new" medial meniscus w/ tear removed and smoothed.
3rd is the tear in my lateral meniscus.
4th is the "new" lateral meniscus w/tear removed and smoothed.
I'm ready!

New knee, new me.
Another successful surgery. This time to repair the medial meniscus on my right knee by Dr. Kasper of Central Coast Orthopedics. 6 weeks and I can start running again!

I can't run, so I ride bikes. When I can't ride bikes, I swim. I'm swimming with a pull buoy because it hurts the knee to kick.
When I started, I could do nearly 500m in 30 min. Now I'm pushing 1600m in 50 min. Hard work pays off.

Watch says, "It's time to run."
Knee says, "I don't think so."
Soon...

As much power as a 12 volt, and the speed of a Chevy Volt. This #IPOS is spending some time in the pool.
The pool may be heated, but steady rain and low 40s called for squeezing into my @XTERRAWETSUITS volt tri suit.

Completed the Coastal Trail Run Spooner's Cove 13k (virtual) Trail Run. Ended up being a bit longer because I made a wrong turn, but still a blast!

1st run of 2021 included my 1st 'yote sighting, 1st time on new trails, and my 1st run as a @dirtbagrunners ambassador.
The coyote & I stopped, looked at each other. I gave him the right of way because I was running in his home. He let me be and we both went about our business.

[Gamboa @GoGamboaGo]

Back on The Hill for the Orcutt Trails 5k route. This is the longest run in a long time...until the next one. Recover and rebuild.

Happy F-ride-day!
Happened upon the mysterious Orcutt Hill Monolith. It was less impressive than the Utah one. This one was about 3' tall and plywood painted black. I still didn't get too close...

[Gamboa @GoGamboaGo]

First "long" run in a long time. Feels good to be back on The Hill.

I'm famous!
Check me out in the Santa Maria Valley guide running #OrcuttHill .
This was pre-pandemic so don't judge me on my neck gaiter.

Went for a ride today and I realized I do not look good in a helmet. But safety first.

First time running The Hill #OrcuttHill in a long time. It was a run/walk (mostly walk) but still felt good to hit the trails and test out the knee.

Doing IPOS things on The Hill. Thinking about the day I get to run again...
