Not a bad first "substantial" run, Saturday afternoon, 6 miles at a good pace along Sligo Creek parkway. I hate having to get back into shape, though. These next 2-3 weeks, having to build back to a base, are always rough. But there was no issue with stride, pace, form, and just minor soreness in the left ad.
Signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon (registration closed in just 5 days this year). Am now debating whether I should go ahead and sign up for LA, since I missed it this year. Still have some flight credit from canceling the ticket, so if I get a cheap flight, should be ok.

FINALLY! I RUN.
Great news, I'm back. After nearly 4 months of rest, the left adductor sprain is judged healed by a M.D. (and a great orthopod -- anyone who needs an orthopod in the DC area, Dr. Dan Pereles at Montgomery Ortho is your guy).
I am cleared to begin not only running, but training again -- and have signed up for the Marine Corps Marathon. It will be my 6th in a row. Went 4 miles last night in a gorgeous spring breeze, and it was all I could do to prevent myself from setting a 5:30 pace, I was so excited.
Excellent. I am happy beyond words.
