Hello, thank you!

Many thanks to all of you who have come here looking for something about running. This has been dormant since March 2008. I was injured and unable to devote time to keeping this up while I spent time recovering. I started running again this week and with that start, the urge to update this blog and podcast is back.

Thank you for your patience while I was away.

You can feel safe in coming back now. You will find something new here regularly.


May the road and trails be kind to you!

Note: I think I mis-spoke during the podcast calling it Tupelo, Missouri... oops, major mistake. Tupelo, Mississippi is the birthplace of Elvis Pressley

Yea, it is a green light

The doctor visit today was a good one. She said the MRI confirmed a bone bruise and that it looked to be healing. It certainly feels like it is getting better. She said I could run again when I felt it would be ready to go. She also said to take it easy coming back.

Yes, indeed. Coming back is a good thing. Taking it easy after sitting on the sidelines for so long won't be a problem.

I was patient enough to wait this one out, I can be patient enough to take it easy coming back.

So October 1 seems like a good date to start again, assuming the ankle feels even better by then.

Halleluiah!
