Ain't so front range any more. Or runner (for now)

Greetings.

It's been a rough couple of months.  Training, traveling, and several health problems have been an impediment to my running for the last couple of months.  That and a lack of discipline on my part for the last couple of weeks.  But it looks like there is definitely a light at the end of the chute for me - I'm adapting a Hal Higdon plan for myself, and it looks very reasonable.  Also, my wife has been gracious enough to be cool with me coming home a little later so I can work runs into my day after work.  Luckily this will not be a permanent solution, as I figured out a way to beat traffic and get an awesome workout, too.

By February I should be able to commute to work by running.  The freeways out here have government roads that are closed to motorized traffic, but not to pedestrians.  I am trying to work up to being able to run the 6 miles from my house using these paths.  Who knows..  Maybe if I get fast enough (read: 8 min/mi for 6 miles) then maybe I can commute both ways!  Anyway, I'm starting out small but I think it will be quite do-able. 

Work has been going quite well, although I was nearly hospitalized while ago when I got pretty bad...  Come to think of it, I should have gone, but I didn't.  I now know what to do if it happens again.  Anyway, I'll be updating my links and start making rounds on the RBF.  I don't even know if anyone reads this any more, but I'm getting going again!

Good luck!
