Last Wednesday, after waiting somewhere in the neighborhood of nine years, I had surgery to remove a neuroma from between the 2nd and 3rd toes of my right foot. In past years, running has been hit or miss with me: sometimes I could run for weeks without problem, others I couldn't run more than 2 miles without the pleasant sensation of having a red hot poker jammed into the middle of my foot. Lately, it's been more of the latter. Pretty hard to get psyched to run for training this summer with that going on.
Anyways, for the past 6 days, I have spent 90% of my time with my feet above the level of my hear (or close enough). I have been taking full advantage of my Netflix Play it Now feature. I am bored out of my mind!
Following several years of sloth (grad school) I am re-connecting with the sport that I fell in love with when I was a squirt kid on my mom's 3-pins. With a full time job, wife, house and two very young children, the confines on training are huge, but I still am aiming for competing in the New England Ski Marathon Series and any local races I can manage. Tune in here to see how the season progresses.
