Before we start recapping the runs again, let us do a brief synopsis of why the running stopped: after cramming too many big races into a short period of time, I came down with tendinitis in my adductor last spring. I kept in decent enough shape and rehabbed myself well enough to submit and *ok* performance at Blue Ridge, but I was feeling somewhat satisfied at the time and clearly needed a break. Around October, my business started surging ahead, and as of this writing that surge continues (thankfully).
In January, I proposed to Adrienne and she said yes. I am a lucky man. We'll be married in November.
Add all this together and you essentially get an explanation that says, "I've had a lot going on."
Now, however, I'm back, hungry and motivated as ever to prove to myself all over again that I can race and race well. It's going to be a long road out of the darkness but I am well-prepared.
Stay tuned.
