Tearing my achilles in 2013 had achilles surgery on my right foot and still in recovery mode with this. Prior to surgery July 2014. Since my surgery in which there is one or two permanent stitches.This has been a difficult time for me for these past couple of years as I used to run about 8 and or 9 miles 5 days a week.

I had torn my achilles in 2013 in training for the 2013 Marine Corps Marathon. Finally after seeing a different doctor I had surgery on my right achilles July 2014. Since my surgery in which there is one or two permanent stitches.

The different stages of cast I had on my right achilles starting in 2013 with just a hard cast (red) to and airiest (mid photo) to finally having surgery in 2014 (different type of cast on last photo)

Being a former Ironman distance triathlete and marathon to ultra-marathon runner of 50km to the unfortunately tearing my achilles in 2013 and having to cancel me competing in the 2013 Marine Corps Marathon. @Marine_Marathon

Volunteering for the 38th Annual Ridgefield Pamby Motors Half Marathon, Sunday October 5, 2014, Wolfpit Running Club

A two pictures.

The KR1COM Amateur Radio Ham Radio Group had provided race communications for the 38th Annual Ridgefield Pamby Motors Half Marathon as we had volunteers from our fellow neighbors from the Danbury group KX1EOC

I was apart of this as a volunteer and also provided direction for the race runners in two locations on the race route. As unable to run in the race this year due to recovery of achilles surgery that took place on July 17th 2014.

I had started running in events before living in Paris, France and while living in Paris, France. Schlumberger moved the family to Paris, France in 1984-1986 as after then worked out of Etudes ET Productions Schlumberger 26, Rue De La Cavee-B.P. 202 92140 Clamart, France. Here is where I have some of that competitive running pictures from then to now.
