Personal:

Born in 1973 in Southern California.

Ran in high school for Arcadia. They have a famous cross-country team now. In my day, we were famous for dodging our coach during runs.

Over the next 15 years I ran very little, but life was awesome. I lived mostly in Northern California, where I met my wife. We moved back to her native state of Florida in 2005, where I gradually started running more seriously.

After a couple days of strong NSAIDs I'm finally seeing improvement in my right shoulder. I am shocked it has taken this long to recover from, but I've accepted that this winter is not going to be a peak season for me. Given how much difficulty I was having running with a sore hip, that was already in my mind.

I actually managed to walk/jog a bit on Sunday. I was going too slowly to truly tell - but my legs felt great. I'm very hopeful that once my shoulder heals I'm going to feel fully healthy for the first time in months.

Yesterday was a great day. We put up Christmas lights, and went on a long cruise with Anna on her bike. Elise jogged along, and they were both laughing and talking crazy nonsense the whole way. Rolling around the neighborhood with them is currently my favorite thing to do in the world.

Looks like a fun day. Glad the injuries seem to be improving.

Thanks Jeff - I read you were banged up too. Glad you've turned the corner.
