Oak, thanks for asking...it is going well. I'm still only able to tolerate about 1 hour on the bike (either kind, road or mtn, doesn't seem to matter) and really have only ridden the mtn bike on dirt-roady kind of things. I keep telling myself that I need to ride more to build my tolerance but it's just not fun once it starts to hurt. Still getting a little numbness when I ride, too. Next FU with the surgeon is in about 1.5 weeks so we'll see what he says. But for the most part I am progressing well and just need to continue to operate in weenie mode for a a while (probably the rest of this year). I am just so happy to be mostly pain free and to feel my leg again.

That said, I am running and run/hiking and enjoying the slower pace that I am allowing myself to take. Running does not bother me in any way. I am signed up for a race in September, but I suspect a lot of it will be hiking (not sure I could run most of it even if I were whole given the altitude...the pass is over 13000' msl ).

Back OT, the Outdoor Retailer show is this weekend so I am going to try to sneak in and see what Nathan has in store for us next spring!
