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.
