Hey all - haven't been around much at all lately I know. Life has been really busy, but I have been keeping to my running and eating right. I haven't been dropping weight, but have been holding steady.



Now, to the subject matter. I have fallen.... I actually fell during my last 5k race, this past Saturday. I won't go into all of it here since I have already typed it all up once.... and just can't bring myself to type it all again.... with one hand.

Tim, so sorry about the fall! That's a big bummer! Man, broken collar bone is tough. I hope you have a quick recovery.

I could offer so many Rocky quotes to you right now, but really I just want to say. I'm glad to be in your company on Traineo and as a good runner (that you are). It is a relief you didn't injure your legs in the accident, and I look forward to sharing the track (on a sort of global scale) again with you soon.

Thanks for all the well wishes - seeing the Ortho this afternoon - counting on him telling me I will be completely healed in a week

Ouch Tim. Well, if you can't run the Peachtree, definitely walk it, and beat your PR next time!

Yea, that is my plan right now. I will be one of very few with a time-group 1A and a chip that is actually walking. I will be able to see and experience the race in ways I wouldn't be able to otherwise.

Hey Tim,



That's too bad about the fall, especially with the next race coming up. Hope you recover quickly and can get back out there. But don't push to hard, better to recover completely and take some extra time then get out there to soon and be re-injured.

Look on the bright side: at least it's a collar bone and not a hip!

Oh wow Tim!! I'm sorry to hear you are going to have to have surgery, but it's better to let it heal properly. Good luck!
