Short-Term Running Goals:

Recovering from micro-fracture surgery on my right knee.  I tore the cartilage off of my knee while doing a speed-training run one month before Boston.  Doc gave me a cortisone shot so that I was able to finish Boston.  After the surgery, I was told to never run again. :(

Long-Term Running Goals:

QUALIFIED FOR BOSTON! April 16, 2011 

Ran Boston on April 14, 2012!

"In truth, runners don't race other runners.  They race against themselves: to conquer their wills, to transcend their weaknesses, to beat back their nightmares.  And while a runner can't actually beat himself, he can beat his time. Even years into running, he can get better." Running for His Life by Michael Hall

AWESOME workouts this week Steam! You are doing a rockin' job at all this crazy running crap - back to normal miles, gotta love it!! Oh, and I love the man calves :) but, I must say...I have seen your calves in person and in no way would I ever think you have beefy man calves. Those people are delusional.

Nice going lately! Keep that leg hair growing as long as your good running streak is alive.

Good idea Joe, no better way to hide those bulging calf muscles :)
