Injury, Recovery, Renewal

So I have been away awhile. The usual distractions and some health trouble.

My back injury took longer than it should have and then there was a knee...I have been struggling with some long term health challenges that seem to be on the mend as well. Basically, health problems and travel kept me out of the B&A Marathon in March. Then I missed the Frederick Marathon due more to travel than injury. Truth is I probably dodged a bullet there as it was very hot and anything less than my top condition would likely have resulted in my first marathon D.N.F.

Well now that I am feeling better again I am back to the training regimen. Starting slow and the heat is making certain of it. Today, ran an easy 6 on the B&A trail. Temps were in the upper 70's but the humidity and lack of any breeze meant an easy 6 became a little more challenging. Made it back in one piece.

So here I am, 12 pounds over race weight with 18 out of the next 30 days scheduled for overnight travel. Let's see what we can do with this.
