More damage than I thought. I woke up sore and went into work. With the 60+ temps managed a little time at the park with family before dinner. After bedtime attempted a treadmill run but am much sorer than I thought once I was moving.

Keep taking care of yourself and have a speedy recovery.

3 degrees with 3 inches of snow here.

Brrr. We have another cold front on the way but for us that means 20F. The pain is more frustrating than anything. I was finally feeling back in shape. But with all the work I have the next two weeks maybe the lower mileage will be a good thing. Have a great day.

Sorry about the tumble. Hope you recovery soon.

Our visit to Birmingham is not looking good as the person we were coming down to see most likely will not be there. I will let you know.

Hi Jeff, Thank you. I'm still very sore but doing a little. This whole month has also just been very tough at work. Hope all is well with you and your family.
