Just a quick post to wish you luck, give a shout out and update you all.

First, the good wishes...My thoughts are with you all that are running the Traverse City Marathon this weekend. I had originally hoped to run in the half, but the registration filled up quick and my back problems compounded that issue. Run swift, run sure and have lots of fun this weekend. I'm with you every step of the way. And Mike, I know in me bones that this is your BQ weekend. Go for it!

The shout out...to Larry B! It was great to see you this weekend and catch up, and I was really surprised to learn you are a COG reader. Very cool! You look great and sound happy, and that is all one can ask of this life. Hope to see you again soon. The wedding was a blast, eh? And sorry about the Cavs this afternoon. There's always next year once they trade Wallace for a real power forward. Maybe they should call Dwight Howard? I hear he's a little disapointed with his season...

And the update...I'm slowly getting back into the running. Emphasis on SLOWLY. Running every other day, trying to make sure I'm smart about it. My aerobic strength has dropped significantly in the 8 weeks I've been inactive, so I'm building up my distance in baby steps. Doing a couple of miles every other day until that is done with ease, then building up another mile, etc...until I'm back at running 6 - 8 miles on the weekend for my regular long run. I have a goal to run the Crim in August (yes, Mike P, I'm signing up for the 10 mile), and I've already signed up for the Detroit Half this October. How's that for optimistic?

Be careful out there, and Go Pistons!
