Ran the full South Farms loop, this was my best effort yet, as I did not have any low points and ran strong the entire distance. After the run I stood in the kitchen eating tacos and my knee got stiff. I wasn't too worried about it, and later in the day it felt better.

My shoulder is slowly improving, the exercises are helping, so it is going in the right direction.

Wherefore art thou Will? :-)

JD - I am taking it easy until January because I don't have any races until late March. I am running every other day to stay in shape, but I have gained a few pounds from being lazy :) One positive thing about the rest is when I do run, my legs are fresh, and I can run as far and fast as I desire with no ill effects.

Hope you have a good holiday season!

Thanks Will, I hope your holiday season is good too.

You've got an amazing running base to work with. It makes running that much more enjoyable. Take care.

Where oh where has Will gone?

From Will on Fri, May 04, 2012 at 19:38:45 from 125.162.131.189

Hey Benn, I am currently in Bali, Indonesia. Just went for an 8 miler this morning along Kuta/Legian beach - whoo hoo :)

I don't race anymore, but I run all the time, such a great way to get to know foreign lands.

Hope you and your wife are well!
