All systems go

Life has been very good since my last post. We got a new member of the family-an 18 month old pitbull cross named Chief from the SPCA. One of the many many benefits of having a dog is that you have to walk the damn thing, which is the best possible thing for my back. By November, I was back up to 100% healthwise, and ready to begin some light training for the coming season. I ran in a 10 K cross country trail race called the Gunner Shaw, and all went very well despite my ridiculously low run fitness. Currently, I'm training regularly and haven't experienced any dreaded nerve pain despite doing 3 hour hilly bike rides and some crazy trail runs.
