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.

Nine days with no running. I think that's the longest break I've had in 7 years.

I went to my doctor yesterday, since my shoulder has remained sore. I think it has improved a bit, but it's a little hard to say. Morning is better, but after a day of moving around it feels pretty lousy by evening.

My doctor did an ultrasound - good news was no obvious damage beyond swollen tendons. He wrote me a prescription for a strong anti-inflammatory. He's hopeful that will take care of it. The one piece of bad news was that based on the places I'm experiencing soreness, there is some chance I have a tear in my rotator cuff. At the moment he's betting against it and holding off on an MRI to see how the next week goes.

Sorry to hear that Drew - maybe you just need a bit more time to recover. Hope the anti inflammatory meds help.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Drew.
