On the road to recovery

About two months after my fall on the ice and subsequent mashing of my left foot, and no running except for the Tybee Island half marathon, the foot has almost recovered. This past week I ran with the Ottawa Hash House Harriers on a long run, for a hash, of some 8 k, and it felt pretty good. Later in the week, I got in two early morning runs of about 25 minutes each, with only a slight sensation of the discomfort I had felt for so many weeks. It was so good, as I was really feeling like a slob after so much missed running time.

Later today I will be taking my two bikes in for a tune-up and hope to get back to cycling to work sometime in March, once the roads are safe for cycling.

Next race will likely be the National Capital half marathon in May. There's time to get back in shape after two months off.
