So a couple things, one the reason I have been absent is I finally figured out what was wrong with my calf. I had been training on a grade 2 calf rupture, i.e. a tear of between 50-90% of the muscle tissue. Thus I had to take some down time, but have since started cross training. I am now averaging about 2 hours a day on either the spin bike or the eliptical. My progress is steadily moving along. In two weeks I get to start incorporating light running.

My second reason for posting today is rather selfish. So I am in the running for picture of the year on letsrun.com. Please go to the link and push like. There is 100 bucks for the winner.
