Update

Dear friends, I have been keeping up with you but reticent to comment because of being shelved as a runner. My injury is gradually healing. I have been walking nearly every day at a brisk pace. The Achilles tendon seems to be getting better.....I was really stupid in running those two races so close together....I have to face facts that I am unable to recover as swiftly as I used to recover.
I am waiting for the right time to begin the building back to marathon training shape. Best of luck to all my friends running Boston!!! Peace!

Still here!!

Hello friends, sorry for the silence on the blogging front. I have been continuing to read your posts, though!
Good news, my ankle feels real good and I expect to begin running within the week. I'm going to aim for Little Rock's marathon in March. I am just allowing my body to rest and recover. I am not one of those amazing folks that can keep running without recovery.
Over the years I've noticed that I tend to lose desire to run after I've run a marathon. The let down only lasts for a while. The call of the roads, and the "runners rewards" will motivate me again.
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Merry Christmas!! Peace (on earth)
