Good to hear that you are, well, up and running. I'm sorry about your job but it does sound like you have a pretty good prognosis!

It's funny you say, "Never say never." When I moved to the West Coast, I HATED running, and did it only because I did not have my bike with me yet, and because that's all I could do to keep hanging out with my new friends. (Well, not that I could really hang with them, they were pretty fast.) And now it's pretty much all I do in the winter, except for commuting to work by bike. Oh well!

On my side of things I'm trying to finish my PhD by the summer, so it's a lot of work. Somehow running keeps me sane through that and races provide nice celebrations along the way.

I hope we see more of you now and then. Keep it up!
