Guys, I'm a little depressed right now. I tried cyclocross racing 2 weeks ago, and had a little crash where I twisted my knee. Things seemed to be getting better, I even ran once last week. But, on Saturday I tried riding my bike up a hill in my yard, and the pain in my knee came back. I'm taking some time off to let things heal as much as possible, before I try running again. I am supposed to run the Houston Half Marathon in about a month, but things don't look good for that right now. Thanks for checking up on me, but forgive me for not getting on the blog much...especially when I'm not running! I hope you guys are in better shape than me!!!! :)

Oh man, sorry about your knee. Take as much time as you need to let it heal properly.

From Tom Slick on Fri, Dec 14, 2012 at 16:03:30 from 69.171.160.48

Ya, take as much time to heal up and keep on blogging
